Comments on: LittleBigPlanet confirmed for week commencing November 3 in UK and Europe http://www.vg247.com/2008/10/20/littlebigplanet-confirmed-for-november-3-in-uk-and-europe/ VG247.com Wed, 15 Feb 2012 20:08:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Esha http://www.vg247.com/2008/10/20/littlebigplanet-confirmed-for-november-3-in-uk-and-europe/comment-page-1/#comment-34530 Esha Mon, 20 Oct 2008 16:01:21 +0000 http://www.videogaming247.com/2008/10/20/littlebigplanet-confirmed-for-november-3-in-uk-and-europe/#comment-34530 I find it odd that some online retailers still haven't updated their dates. Play(.com) still lists the game as the 24th, for example, and considering that it's already the 20th that probably isn't wise. I wonder what they're going to do when the 24th rolls around? Though if I get an early copy (especially of the rare breed), I won't be complaining. I'm expecting an email "update" any day now, though.

Of course you can just go to a shop now and buy it today. :) “The UK has confirmed that it should be available on the 5th and no later.”

Strange for something that, apparently was already in some European retailers hands... So its gets delayed in the US by just a week, yet its 4 weeks for PAL?

Sounds like it's going to be a 'soft launch' of however many copies they can scrape together as and when they're ready rather than waiting for a full stock load and shipping them all on the same day. That might not be the best of ideas, tbh. Angry punters, fucked up charts... might've been better just to hang fire until they could release a huge batch all in one go.

It's a bit of a cack handed way of suggesting that the 3rd will be the new release date. It's more than likely going to be the friday. Dunno if all territories stagger their release dates across the board though. Probaly true. It’s a bit of a cack handed way of suggesting that the 3rd will be the new release date.

Surely that means the 7th? “will start to appear in stores no later than the week commencing Monday 3rd November in the UK, Europe, Middle East, Australia and New Zealand, on a country by country basis”.
