Wow. Too bad that this got missed until so close to release date, but an extra week isn’t the end of the world, people. You people complaining are truly ignorant, of so many things, and for so many reasons.

Talk about entitlement.

This could have been hugely damaging to MM, LBP and Sony. Better that it was caught before launch. Not that I don’t find it silly, personally, but I’m not Muslim.

There are no rallies anywhere, just a decision made by SCE. I promise you that hardly anyone would have ever heard of this song if not for LittleBigPlanet, and of course no one is going to have a rally against something about whose existence they are unaware.

i too have a problem with it being removed but its ok to be sold and not attacked everywhere else. If it were up to me i would say that i would take it down if it were a problem across the board to all media and all media was asked to remove the song.

secondly media molecule had a patch and sony refused it. why? for those without internet connection? i would say let everyone get their patch and those without internet (crazy since its a community based game which cant receive user content without internet) send their game in for an exchange or wait for the next batch of discs with the fix……

not a good month sony.. i’m still unable to get on the Socom servers and LBP was at least something to ease that stress……

I don’t understand whats so bad if it has a few words from the Q’ran as long as the song is not using it in a bad way…

Thanks for the update Patrick.

Understandable as I’ve seen many types of these things escalate to court cases and actually it isn’t that long of a delay.

The song and the band who wrote it, on their own, have a very narrow appeal. They’re perfectly content for there to be millions of people out there who are too offended to buy their CD, since those people aren’t their narrow target audience, anyway.

LittleBigPlanet is something that Sony intends to have vast, broad, global appeal. If they release it as is, think of all the kids that might have their PS3′s taken away by their parents once they hear a song where actual Arabic verses from the Qur’an are being used as background music, and with instrumental accompaniment. Contrast that to you guys, who are having to simply wait a few extra days, and will be completely over the whole thing come mid-November.
