LittleBigPlanet already on sale at some U.S. retailers

According to the U.S. PlayStation Blog some of you goons have already got your hands on freshly milled LittleBigPlanet.

Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) tells us that its servers haven't gone online yet, though, so all you early worms will be confined to offline play till the official launch.

As we're sure you'll be aware, Media Molecule's happy-go-lucky LittleBigPlanet was recalled worldwide earlier in the month when offensive material was discovered in the soundtrack. Sony has recently issued new release dates, but it appears certain North American retailers -- GameStop, for one -- have jumped the gun.

According to its game page, however, the retail juggernaut is now withholding U.S. shipments until October 28.

LittleBigPlanet is pencilled in to hit North America sometime this week, with European versions following in the week beginning November 3. The U.K. gets it on November 5.

    Dam worms getting it first. But its strange that the rest of Europe gets it before the UK.

    @RandomBeef... Worms? C'mon... Anywho, I think its actually almost funner than they say. On the other hand, creating a level is harder than it looks. I don't even know where to start... After some practice, I'm sure it'll get easier.

    I called gamestop saturday they told me : pre orders are for saturday, and monday & tuesday they will sell the game i just wanted to fill everyone in on that, so im going to attempt to purchase little big planet today the 27th of october if i somehow cant get it i'll purchase it on the 28th. Plus i wonder if that deal with the spacesuit and the shirt will be available till oct. 30th like it said on the ps store before the game was delayed.

    yea I went into gamestop a few days ago and got the game.  hehe pretty cool but when I couldn't get on the servers I assumed that it was because the servers haven't gone live yet.

    The new release date is the 27th. if they forced you to wait untill the 28th then they screwed you over for a day. Best buy was happy to find my copy for me today. The game is .... I have no words for how cool it is.

     

    If you dont like LBP you have no soul.
