Sony have officially confirmed that the launch of the highly anticipated PS3 Little Big Planet has been delayed following the discovery of Qur’an expressions in the soundtrack.

A statement from Sony read:

‘During the review process prior to the release of LittleBigPlanet, it has been brought to our attention 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. We have taken immediate action to rectify this and we sincerely apologise for any offence that this may have caused.’

No new release date has yet been confirmed by Sony.
