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.

RE: LBP delayed worldwide, Possibly to Mid November@Joe80,As far as I know that is a risk of the future investment...only time I've seen it roll back is when the delay pushes you into another NPD month. So...if LBP launches in October I don't think we will see any kind of 'adjustment'...it is a risk of investing.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 475 ]bids

Well, it's not like late October to mid November are among the busier weeks of the holiday season. Of course it would hurt to miss a launch date people were counting on, but anything available from at least late November should get the important part of the holiday bump.[ Veteran ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 155 ]bids

I think it will affect casual sales a bit (ie Monthly Futures), but I don't expect much impact to the overall stock price.
but that said, I am cautiously optimistic about LBP's sales potential.[ Veteran ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 878 ]bids

If true this could SERIOUSLY affect sales in my opinion. Its cutting the holiday sales period for this game from 8 weeks down to 5 if the Nov 14th date holds true.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 150 ]bids

This is a very strange issue, but I can definitely see much opportunity for unintentional offense from the Muslim community.
How far we've come from the days of Nintendo banning crosses from Castlevania and the related gamer outrage![ Veteran ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 878 ]bids

@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.
