What started out like an interesting update to Little Big Planet turned out to be flatly denied by Media Molecule and Sony.  In a Joystiq article it was originally stated that an update would bring about the opportunity to import images into your massive user created levels (for an even more realistic Gradius).  For now you are still stuck using the Playstation Eye.

While the idea would have been very cool and had propelled the game into even further into its “awesome” status, I think a little thing called copyright and the control of copyrighted material will probably hinder this idea much the same way as the music creator in Guitar Hero World Tour.  That and how many levels made entirely of boobs and penises would have gotten to play!

What started out as very promising after the recall/delay has now become sad again.  It has been confirmed by Media Molecule that the Little Big Planet servers have been taken offline to be repaired.  It appears to be a case of millions finally trying to get on coupled with what Media Molecule says is “to avoid ‘glitching issues’ some people were seeing that was affecting offline play.”  They say that they will be back on as soon as they can get the bugs sorted out.  But for those eight hours they were on I bet people were having fun (attempting to log on)!

We will keep you updated as to when they return.

The folks over at Joystiq have been receiving reports that Little Big Planet is showing up at various GameStops.  The release date was originally set for October 27th, so we are really not too far away from that anyway if you were planning on getting it somewhere else.  This is exciting news for the hardcore fans!

Let us know if you got it at a GameStop or anywhere else today!

Well, it seems that right before the game launched that letters and reports have flown around about references to the Qur’an references in the soundtrack.  Sony has pulled the game off the shelves to get the situation resolved but what was once a European delay has turned worldwide.  Some reports put the delay at three weeks, but that is not an official date.

It also seems that a patch was ready for a day one release (like Fable 2’s co-op, except that one is more conspicuous), but Sony wanted to do the right thing for people unfortunate enough to to have the online services.  The patch will still release the same day as the game.  Plus one for Sony doing the right thing, but I am just curious as to the nature of the reference that warranted all this.

Some people got their hands on the first copy before the recall.  Maybe there’s some extra money on eBay for the pre-recall version even though there’s a patch.
