I know that Sony said it would only be a one week delay. However, Best Buy just sent me an order update saying that the game had been delayed until 11/30/2008. I'm sure sony's got it right and bb doesn't, but it still made me a bit nervous.

Sony insisted.

The lame part of this is that the people that brought this to Sony's attention were only asking for a little patch - not a delay/recall: http://www.true-gaming.net/home/?p=827

DVD Talk Godfather & 2020 TOTY Winner
Thread Starter
I try not to get too excited about reviewers falling over themselves with praise -- I find those extatic reviews tend to overrate the game (cough, GTA IV, MGS4, cough) but I just love this wrap up quote from a Australian site called Gameplayer
If someone here wants to know why I'm so excited about this game, well that's the reason.
LittleBigPlanet is like a magic trick, and in that respect it feels less like a videogame than an incredible concept executed perfectly. LittleBigPlanet is like LEGO (the blocks, not the game), it’s like Monopoly, it’s timeless... it’s lightning in a bottle – and if Sony play their cards right it could well save the PS3, and propel the console into the stratosphere.

So unless I walk in tonight with a notice from corperate to hold them back, I'm going to put them out. So I'd check your local Wal-Mart if you want one.

I scanned ours at Wal-Mart to see if they've been recalled or pushed back because I'm still not sure if I'm supposed to put them out tonight or not. But it does scan for purchase (meaning I could have bought one last night) instead of being denied the sale (either for recall or street dated).

I heard this too and stopped by the one by my office on my lunch break today. They had four copies in, but said they couldn't sell any until tomorrow. I'm hoping they miss whatever memo's are sent out in the next 24 hours. Anyway, if you've got a Blockbuster nearby, it might be worth stopping by and seeing if you get a cool clerk that'll sell you one.

We've had our copies for a few days now, and I put them out right at midnight. But it varies from store to store due to employee incompetence (and stubbornness). I think the smaller stores (at least some) shut down electronics until 7 am, but the supercenters keep it open 24-7 (I work in a supercenter). So you may have better luck at a supercenter.

I just talked to one of the clerks at my local Gamestop. He had no idea about a recall, and the store had tons of advertising for the release of the game tomorrow. So Gamestops may have them as well.

Looks like (unofficial) word from Sony is that if stores have already received them, they don't have to return them, and can go ahead and sell them. Stores that haven't received them (along with future shipments) will have to wait for the new pressings.
I think the recall is a bigger deal in Europe than it is in the US.

It doesn't matter, this will be addressed via a patch. I assume PSN enforces patches to play online like the 360 does?
The only way this has any real value is for someone to play offline. Or if you get some suckers to buy into the hype and turn a profit on eBay. More power to you and I say go for it.

The big kicker however, is that there is a built in editor and you can design in great detail your own levels. Once done you can share them with the online community. It looks to be pretty amazing.
