CircuitCity: The Details

Last Updated on Sunday, 26 October 2008 05:42 Written by ProClub Sunday, 26 October 2008 05:42

So going to CircuitCity today to go check what’s going down with the LittleBIGPlanet scene at my local CircuitCity. I find that there was a notice on top of the locked up cabinent of games, that they addressed LittleBIGPlanet. Sorry for no pictures, did not have my camera or phone on me at the moment, but it mentioned the LittleBIGPlanet ad in this weeks CircuitCity ad that they will not get their shipment until Tuesday by 2PM. In this weeks ad, it mentions that you get a $10 CircuitCity Giftcard with purchase of LittleBIGPlanet.

Now the notice is mentioning that when you pick up your copy on Tuesday or any other day of the week up to Saturday, you will get the ORIGINAL promo of $15 giftcard. It’s good to see that CircuitCIty is honoring their ORIGINAL promo because of the drama from last week that caused the delay. Some across the web were thinking that they would receive the $10 for this weeks ad and are now going to be delighted to see that they get an extra $5 on top of that.

Have you gotten the call??

It seems Sacketeers across North America are receiving calls from GameStop of LittleBIGPlanet shipping to their local store (10/25/08) in the afternoon. Are you one of the lucky ones to receive this call? Are you going to camp out at your local GameStop before it opens, even if they haven’t received their shipments yet?? We know how dedicated you are so, we will answer this for you and say yes!

Patch 1.02 Live

Last Updated on Friday, 24 October 2008 12:17 Written by ProClub Friday, 24 October 2008 12:17

Well all right, so that v1.01 patch didn’t fix the “disturbing” lyrics of Toumani Diabaté. What it did instead was tweak some online functionality and at the same time add in some more delightful costumes for sack people. However, v1.02 does remove the controversial lyrics and it’s out now for Europe.

The v1.02 patch removes all the words from the song “Tapha Niang,” leaving the track as a purely instrumental piece. As of yet, the North American version has not been updated — we’ve checked, again. But that shouldn’t really matter, should it? LittleBigPlanet technically isn’t out, right?

LittleBIGDELAYED! WorldWide >(! [UPDATED: MEDIA MOLECULE]

Last Updated on Friday, 17 October 2008 10:44 Written by ProClub Friday, 17 October 2008 10:08

Worst news has come to the LittleBIGPlanetNation! LittleBIGPlanet has been delayed indefinately due to a song on the level Swinging Safari. The user who brought this to attention is solid_08, posting this on the Official PlayStation Europe Forums. Now, don’t go crazy over him about this just yet. He does not want to delay the game from it’s release date in your region, but suggests that a patch be made online immediately. Whether how hard or easy it is for Media Molecule to come up with a solution depends how easy the game was coded. Which should not be that hard for Media Molecule since their game is based on customization.

EDIT: Oh hey, they already have a patch done and also an updated master disc waiting for pressing! Sony will be releasing new info about the new release dates soon. Stay tuned.

EDIT2: That was fast, LittleBIGPlanet will ship out the week of October 27th.

SCEE:

During the review process prior to the release of LittleBigPlanet, it has been brought to our attention that one of the background music tracks licensed from a record label for use in the game contains two expressions that can be found in the Qur’an. We have taken immediate action to rectify this and we sincerely apologise for any offence that this may have caused.

We will confirm the new launch date shortly.

EDIT:

As some of you may have noticed, LBP has been slightly delayed in some territories. At MM we were as shocked and dismayed by this as anyone – shellshocked and gutted. We can’t wait for you all to get playing and creating!

We learnt yesterday that there is a lyric in one of the licensed tracks which some people may find offensive, and which slipped through the usual screening processes. 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.

Apologies to everyone excited to play the game and I can assure you that when it arrives, it will be worth the wait! We want everyone to be able to enjoy the game, and this tweak should help – we’re just gutted it couldn’t be sooner. MM continues to work hard to support the game too. We know that LBP will be something that you can enjoy for a long time to come, when all of this is forgotten and all that remains are thousands of incredible levels and creations to play, create and share.
