SCEA has just sent word that they’re having to delay Little Big Planet for PS3. In the final review process leading up to the release, they’ve found that one of the background music tracks licensed from a record label for use in the game contains two expressions that can be found in the Qur’an.

SCEA is taking action to rectify the situation and will be shipping the game to retail the week of October 27th rather than next week’s release. The interesting thing about the whole situation though? Retail stores have a Little Big Stash of the game on hand already.

We’ll have more as well as our Little Big Planet review on PopCultureShock shortly.
