LittleBigPlanet coming to UK in September? [UPDATE]

Sony's unique title, LittleBigPlanet, is one of the company's most anticipated games of the upcoming year and Sony will make every effort to get it out to the UK by September.
After showcasing the game for the first time at last year's Game Developer's Conference, the game raised a lot of eyebrows and instantly raised the curiosity of PS3 followers and skeptics. The game is mostly physics-based and will rely heavily on user-created content to drive it. Adding to the community aspect of the game, LittleBigPlanet will allow users to share levels with other players as well as working cooperatively to accomplsh certain mission throughout the game.
LittleBigPlanet is currently being developed by UK based Media Molecule. Every time the game has been showcased at any game show, it has instantly been made one of the most anticipated titles of the year for Sony, and hopefully one of the system's killer app's.
The September release date strikes as a little later than most had hoped for (originally it had been speculated that it would be released in the first quarter of 2008). The title now gives PS3 owners something to look forward to towards the end of the year.
UPDATE:
CVG has confirmed this as true, and the game is indeed targeted for release in the UK this September.

PSN ID: Ant-Money909..... September isn't a bad time to release Little Big Planet. Considering that Grand Turismo 5, Killzone 2, Metal Gear 4 and Home will be released in the first and second quarter. I'll buy this game if it comes out later this year.

psn id: gingo... WOW!!!! the UK might actually get a decent game first before it comes out in america, hopefully it meets its intended release date because i look forward to playing this game mainly because i dont really know much about it and i am curious to see how the gameplay works
@ Ant-Money909... dont pin your hopes too much on Killzone 2 coming out this year never mind the first and second quarters i'm predicting 4th quarter of 2008 fiscal year which is january- march 2009

Well, doesn't surprise me. I expect MGS4, KZ2 and almost every other big exclusive we've heard about (along with any we haven't) to be pushed back to fall/holiday season 2008. Reason is simple....sales. Everyone knows that games sell almost entirely in the fall and holiday seasons. Since they missed THIS holiday season, that's the way it goes. Fortunately we'll have a steady tide of 3rd party offerings now to bring us through the rest of the year. Having all this stuff for holiday 2008 does give Sony one HECK of a killer lineup though. Forget about 1 or 2 titles or even 3. This is a TON!

What IS getting released any time soon. 2007 was spent pulling my penis waiting for something better than average to pop up on PS3.
Mind you I do enjoy the odd tug - but I should be getting RSI from my controller instead. FFS Sony give us something decent to play! Where are all the games Kaz promissed ? I know...he has stuffed all 360 game titles supposed to be released up his bottom the bs artist.

Looks like it will be the last good game released in 2008.
So many killer apps are keeping me calm in 08 but there better be some damn good games coming in 2009 if anything gets delayed.

Gingo, I tried to add you on psn and it says you have reached your max limit of friends. HOW YOU TAUNT ME SO WITH YOUR ID!
Anyway, if delaying till september allows the final product to be better, so be it.

Sounds like quite a number of big titles will be coming out on the last quater of 2008! If all these big games do happen to make it out this year....then a lot of gamers will have to save up for all these games! And spending a lot of our lives infront of our display units!!! ;)
