LBP Delayed Worldwide

[blazsox]

Thanks to religion, LBP is now delayed worldwide because of some shit about it offending the Qu'ran.

Lame.... Couldn't they just fix it through some sort of patch?

[blazsox]

And ship it with the offense...how dare you.

I don't understand how it is offensive.
Whatever the case though, LAME!

LMAO... This is going to cost Sony a lot of cash. = In the recall, & lost game sales from people buying other games like Fable 2 & Dead Space.

Sony is screwed.

This will probably have very little affect on sales. If people wanted it before the delay, they're still going to want it after the delay.

A patch was ready by Media Molecule on day one. (http://www.n4g.com/News-217320.aspx)

I dont blame anyone but people who take offense to such shit. What about the offensive levels people are sure to make in this game?

Offensive levels were already being created in the beta. Someone tried recreating 9/11.

Doesn't surprise me. Just look at Spore.

Shipping will begin October 27th for North America. That aint much of a delay.

Damnit! I was picking up Fable 2 and LBP at the midnight release next week. Looks like I will only be going home with Fable 2. I called my local GS and they have not heard as of yet. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

i wonder if target will still have this. i reserved it there. I saw the sunday ad for this week but they always print those a few weeks ahead.

i'll find out on tue, walk into target and act like i haven't heard about a delay. lol

[blazsox]

I'm sure some stores will still sell it, especially the mom and pop stores. But all major retailers are required to send the games back if they have already received shipments. Its only been delayed 7-10 days.

Check your local Wal-Marts and Targets, apparently some still put copies out on the shelves
