Release date revealed (?)

A list of games that will support Move, we released yesterday after Sony's E3 conference. What does that matter to you, fellow happy gadders? Well, it reveals what is likely to be the release date of LittleBigPlanet 2.
The game will, according to that list, be released in November 2010.

This may of course just be a placeholder date, but considering that it comes directly from Sony we can hope that it is true.

Via LittleBigLand of course. :)

*cries from the pure epicness*

I thought that we kinda guessed that a while ago. no? then i must have been imagining it. either that or i'm psychic!:eek:

Yeah, that's what MM promised Sony. Let's just hope it stays that way. Although I wouldn't mind waiting a little while longer.

November????

Wow it's just like waiting for water all over again

Some online shops had that date, but since this is coming from Sony it's actually a bit more reliable.

didnt sony also say that the psp go was going to be a hit? *sarcasm*

That's a bit different though, innit?
Saying a product is going to be a hit is like betting on horses. One may have had a winning streak for a good few years (ie. PS2), but you never know how it's going to do today. Or how the competition is doing. (actually, better analogy would be how the offspring of that winner is going to do, but eh.)

When one of your developers is saying "we can have the game out by then-and-then" it's more solid. Sure, there may be delays, or it's pushed back due to marketing.

I guess what I'm trying to say is: Apples and oranges.

it was a mere joke.
nothing to be taken seriously.
im just rambling.

A few have had preorders available for several weeks now and state a release date of 29th of October.

Fair enough.
This is still Internet 2.0. Until 3.0 rolls out with integrated sarcasm and humour detectors and tags it's generally safer to take it seriously unless it's very obvious. ;)

And let me guess, the Australian release date for Little Big Planet 2 is something like 'March 1st, 2011'?

Looks to be more info supporting a November 29th release date (as MisterVista notes above). This was in an e-mail I just received from Amazon:

Oh major fail...
I'm confusing November with September! :p

lol, thanks i'll be editing my post now. XD

Woo hoo! :D

But even with this amount of evidence, don't get your hopes up, there's about 90% chance it'll be delayed, come on, you know it will. ;)

Now why would they do that...

Yey! I want i want now plz

This is hardly news. The biggest buying month of the year is December, for tolerably obvious reasons. If they release the game too early (October) they're going to miss that buying cycle. Too late (into December or January) and they either get screwed if demand outstrips supply, or miss the huge buying cycle entirely and release in Q1, when nobody has money to spend (unless their fiscal starts in March, in which case they're releasing Q4; either way it pads year-end numbers).
