Copies of the much anticipated PlayStation 3 game, LittleBigPlanet, have been recalled by Sony after it came to their attention that a section of the background music contained extracts from the Koran.

Sony has apologised to anyone that it may have offended while playing the Beta version.

The extracts from the music were made aware to the makers by a Muslim gamer who sent an email to the makers saying that using this music within the game could offend other Muslims, he also recommended a patch to change the music.

However, Sony decided to go even further than a patch and release a whole new version, therefore, delaying the launch.

This changed version will hit the shops in the UK on November 5th and in US on October 29th
