Just enough time that they don't have to compete with fable 2. Good thing they could scapegoat music as the reason.

Why would Fable II and LBP compete with each other? They're on different platforms idiot.

nah, dig dug. the fact that he sees fable 2 and LBP as competitors means he's assuming that people have both systems and... eh, nevermind. he's an idiot.

They were both competing for my money on the 21st. Believe it or not, tolerant guy, many people own more than one video game system.

Of course there are people who own more than one system. But its certainly not large enough to warrant a delay.

Ehh I dunno, Fable 2 is a big name, but isn't Fallout 3 bigger? And if we're going to talk about completely different genres competing with each other for money ( and they do sometimes, although I'll still get both games), shouldn't you say something more like "Why the hell would they release this on the same day as Fallout 3?" Considering it's on the same console makes that even more of a valid statement.

On one hand it's a good thing since it won't come out at the same time as Fable 2 but on the other it sucks that Sony gave in and now it comes out at the same time as Fallout 3.

They didn't give in, they decided to make sure nobody had any religious beef with this game, allowing everybody to play.

No, they gave in. SCEA is afraid of another religious scandal after the CoE debacle and decided to punish its intelligent gaming audience by avoiding hurting the feelings of its unintelligent gaming audience. This is not to say that Muslims and followers of other faiths are ignorant, but any person who claims they have the right to not be inconvenienced is an inconvenience to us all.

I still don't know why Sony would have had any more trouble with this than Amazon or Apple, both of whom have this song on their websites.

Or for that matter, THE ARTIST OF THE FRIGGIN' SONG who seems to be doing just fine.

I think the decision to hold off was in no way giving in. It was social responsibility. By eliminating the unintentional offense, Media Molecule is reinforcing the sense of global community that is such an integral part of the game. At the same time, it shows that the gaming industry can often be just as intelligent and conscious of social issues as other media. Way to go!

They didn't lose anything in the CoE debacle.

England's christians boycott a game? That's like a nunnery boycotting the sex toys industry - there's not many of them and they wouldn't have bought it anyway.

I'm still disappointed that the game was delayed due to something so trivial. Some people take things way too serious.

I'm mainly referring to people who say people who aren't in their religion can't talk about their religion or use anything about their religion, even though said thing was made by someone in their religion.

Idiot, it has nothing to do with the platform, but with the content in the game. Pretty sure any other company would cave too.

A ban wouldn't do anything to this dumbass since he's already been banned probably close to a dozen times by now. He needs to learn how to troll the right way.

Nice graph there, Tuna.

@ Tmac - Going to disagree with you a little here. He's a known commodity, I think what makes more sense is for seasoned Joystiq posters to not take the bait for goddssakes. Shouldn't most of these people know better?

On topic, I don't know if a delay in a release date means anything anymore, it's just a fact of life, deal with it.

Hakuna matata.

For someone so up in arms over a, note: single, racially insensitive comment, you're showing absolutely no consideration for others' culture and even using it as a way to attack something so trivial as a game console.

You've gone past "fanboy idiot" and made it all the way to "you should probably be medicated to keep this in check" style obsession with Sony. Please start seeing someone about this.

It could be cute in the same way as puppies and kittens in the same basket, even though they probably shouldn't be. Experience says he takes everything way too far though; if he loved Sony he'd probably have a blow up doll with Kutaragi's face on it.

God, that's horrifying.

...why would I even type that?

Couldn't agree more. Why didn't they go with the most obvious of solutions: Offer two versions at the counter. They could have LBP: Qua'ran Edition and LBP: Qua'ran Lite. Everybody wins!

Bonus: We could actually track by sales whether any gamers actually gave a $%!@ about controversial lyrics or not. Hint: None would.
