LittleBigPlanet has been delayed worldwide for an unspecified amount of time as confirmed by Sony. Originally expected to launch next week, consumers may need to wait until mid-November. Some retailers are listing November 14th as the new release date.
Two small extracts from the Qur'an mixed with music into one of the background tracks are the cause.

@kspraydad,
This (1 week delay of release date for US release) happened before, but I couldn't remember the game. What happened before is that there are no roll back, since it is considered part of the risk of future investment (like ksparydad mentioned).
There was also a roll back when a release delay cause it to be not going to show up on a specific NPD month. If the stock was not IPO'd yet, KoC usually substitute it with another game. This kind of things happen quite more often that one week delay that were still in the same NPD.
This kind of thing is one of the reason I usually go into short. In this specific game, I luckily has cleared out my small long on this future, before this news hit. It is not that I have knowledge that this kind of thing will happen, but it is more because I feel that the 66 DKP price point it had before is high enough, so I jumped out.
