Toumani Diabate, sent info to MTV multiplayer about his “controversial” track.

“They note the complication that there is no explicit rule in Islam prohibiting a song like Diabate’s.”

Delayed for no explicit reason?! I’m not sure this is very comforting. At least he explains his reasoning behind the song I will never hear in game, and that is something all the news about its removal has left out.

Today was the day we were supposed to be playing LittleBigPlanet, but instead, we must wait. And that is OK, because a little more anticipation will make popping the disk into the PS3 the first time all the sweeter.

That said, one of us lucky guys here at LBPBuilder had their pre-order ship before the recall and it arrived on time. Expect a mini-review soon, but the sort version is: Better than you dreamed it would be.
