Sony: LittleBigPlanet to be recalled on global level because of Qur’an content

This is just ridiculous!

un-fucking-believe-able

MEGATON

LittleBigFuckUp

religion and money eh two of the biggest flaws in a human beings life.

waits for flames lol

What exactly does it mean by “expressions”…?

>:^(

<:^o

There you go Gekidami.

f allah and his intolerance

Isn’t the singer of the song a Muslim who released this song in a Muslim dominated country?

This is obsurd!

*sigh*

YupYup couldn’t have put it better.

“LittleBigFuckUp”

A mate of mine who isn’t into games, oddly remembered this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kakuto_Chojin#Reception_and_controversy

looks like MS played it safe with that one too.

interesting how a guy not into games remembered that and i’d never heard of it – although i never had an xbox though. could be a good marketing thing after all?

@warlock: I think you are the one who is intolerant. If you read the qur’an you will see that Allah is tolerant.

I dont see whats so offensive! This is madness!

Bah. Love the game, but this political correctness is going on my tits. Preorder cancelled, waiting for the bargain bin now.

“Obviously MM and Sony together took this very seriously. LBP should be enjoyable by all. So within 12 hours of hearing about this issue involving a lyric (in Somalian, I believe!), we prepared an automatic day 0 patch and had a new disk image ready; however a decision was made within Sony that the right thing to do for quality and support of people with no on-line was to replace existing disks. They assure us that they are doing everything in their power to get things straightened out as fast as possible, and will announce dates soon.”

Muslims seem to be extraordinarily offended by anything relating to their religion.

/cartoon says the word ‘Mohammed’
/offended Muslims burn embassies down

It’s comical. Until, well, you realise it actually happened. :/ I just can’t relate to them at all.

That’s nothing ecu. You try telling a 360 owner that “Halo ain’t all that”. He’ll put a fatwah on you faster than Aaron Greenberg can say something stupid.

Ah.. this site has slowed to a snail’s pace. Enjoy your ranting folks! I’ll see you around.

*grind*

The site is pretty much slowed down to a snails pace for me as well.

You must be getting a shed load of traffic.

Your site is teh popular now!

She cannae take it, cap’n.

*holds smoking server together with sticky tape*

It doesn’t surprise me. I’ve seen you linked all over the web today.

…and that’s just the pics you did to fund college.

I say again, just patch the damn thing or your gonna have a bomb on your hands, people wouldn’t buy it against established brands

*google images patlike*

*runs to the bathroom*

It’s fine to be angry about a game being delayed because of something you yourself do not believe in, but some of the comments on the Eurogamer news story are just plain insulting.

I’ve seen plenty of utterly retarded comments about this. Including the suggestion of murdering the guy that made the original post on the Sony site.

If I thought I’d get through I’d try to explain just how utterly hypocritical comments like that are… but I just don’t think they’d get it.

Sony is on a roll this generation… and not in a good way.

Site seems to be speeding up a bit now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

PT – *flashes ankle*

Ankle? Why would I be interested in the appetiser when I’ve already had the main course and looked on in horror at the desert?

WOW, The EuroGamer comments thread is absolutely revolting! Does anyone evn monitor or moderate the comments over there? Lame…

Hey, if they don’t do it they get blown up by some muslim psychopath. Personally I’d tell them to eat shit and don’t buy the game. Why is so much of the world so quick to bow down to these thugs, goons, and bullies? I know it is fear and I understand that, but people need to stop bowing down and start fighting this kind of intolerant crap. People make fun of Jesus and God all the time, and while Christians and Jews may not like it, they are open to the idea that their faith is strong enough to survive, or they, like me, believe that Jesus and God would have a pretty good sense of humor (example? Nick Cage’s continuing career).
You are not the only people in the world, muslims. Not everyone fears you. Get used to it or get run over.

This is crap!

Oi… it’s one thing insulting Muslims, but you stay the hell away from Nicky Cage.

>:(

…and no mort, there’s virtually no EG moderation on the comments.

Good lord. That thread is ghastly.

You know, gamers (hey, we’re generalising about cultures here so I see no reason to introduce inconsistencies in our appraisals) are typically so quick to lash out at the subject of their ire that they nearly always end up making themselves look far far worse that whoever it is they’re pointing the finger at.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a religious group. A politician. A lawyer or some person on TV who made some comment and happens to have a book on Amazon.

One day, gamers will learn not to make themselves look like intolerant spoiled brats. Until then, you can see why most of the world takes a glance and just disregards the culture as a bunch of bickering kids who can’t be trusted to look after themselves.

@RedPanda

Kakuto Chojin was actually a pretty good game, graphically wise it was insane for a last-gen game!

@ecu

Be careful!G1GAHURTZ will get angry at you

@mightyhokie

Be careful also! i made some comments like this and G1GAHURTZ blasted my ass cuz hes one of them haha.

im over this shit now though. but whatever!

@Shatner. Yes, I looked briefly at the thread again, Wow, new lows… LittleBigRacistplanet.

Update: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/10/17/littlebigplanet-release-update/

That’s not very long.

Still I’m not amused by what two lines in a song can cause.

And the responses made by some.

The one thing we don’t know… is how long this shipping part of the process will take. Technically LBP shipped to stores a couple of weeks back so this doesn’t necessarily clarify much.

I suppose it will reach the major stores in a matter of a few days.

It’s going to be a tough call to please retailers on this one. Everyone is going to have to get a decent level of stock simultaneously or heads will roll.

Holy clusterfuck, Batman!

What a shame.
