It is not as bad as it could have been, but it is annoying that the UK gets it last despite Mm being a British company! Just for once, couldn't we get something first!?2008-10-21 13:02:00

Yet again, SCEE screw it up. They can't do ANYTHING right. Don't even bother trying to defend them, they're worthless. They should all get sacked and replaced with people who need jobs.2008-10-21 15:17:00

Not last, Australia and New Zealand don't get it now until the 7th of November.

Well it completely destroys the "UK games are only released on a Friday" statement too, doesn't it?2008-10-21 15:20:00

Yeah, but they were both sequels. Shops makes allowances for Games that have prequels, and know they'll sell well.2008-10-21 15:50:00

The only thing that gets to me the time frame of release US were originally scheduled for 21st and we were scheduled for 24th but then the delay happened but that 3 day difference changed to a 9 day difference which is surprising. Tbh the Wednesday release day is probably just to ensure that it comes out as quickly.2008-10-21 15:56:00

I'm not going to bother getting it straight away I'll just put it on my Xmas wish list. COD 5 comes out on the 14th and after watching the BETA footage I can't wait. LBP just comes out too close to it and I won't have enough time to really sink my teeth into it.2008-10-21 19:49:00

Ill see if a few people 'forgot' about this whole fiasco in my local area on friday. A tip is to wait for the 'changing of the guards' and look for an employee who doesnt know mario from sonic.2008-10-21 20:05:00

You're not bothering pre-ordering it even though you've devoted your PSN id to a LittleBig related thing????

Yep made that before I was lucky enough to try the beta and although it was amazing it dawned on me how time consuming it was to make a level which is the real selling point of the game. I spent a good 5-6 hrs making a level which no bugger played and it just wasn't worth the effort. If LBP came out last year I would have still been a student and of course would be able to sit on my butt for days on end just playing the computer. But now I'm a working man I just don't really have the time to make complicated levels. So I'll just pick up the game at a later date and enjoy other peoples levels.

I have CoD5 Beta, and it rocks, so thats another game I need.

I hate to say it... but I'm sorta losing interest in LBP, especially since I saw FarCry2's level editor.

Ok guys just a quick update , I went into the Arndale center today to the GAME store. I started talking about lbp and started to ask about the release date, instead of him saying the 5th Nov he informed me next Friday which is the 31st of October, so just as heads up keep your eyes open. (The person did seem knowledgeable about gaming so *fingers crossed*)

Arndale Center located in Manchester city center for people who don't know.

This friday?? I don't know if it'll work I tried all gaming shops in arndale centre and asda around my area they all too strict lol. I tried for Lbp/Farcry 2 and Dead space no one was even giving hints I don;t know how people get people to break release dates, I think generally in uk they're just a lot more stricter

On Friday I'm off to Game to get my PS3, and FarCry 2.

If I were to see LBP there, though... I'd be very tempted.
