Morning Coffee for 10/20/08
Little Big Planet will be out in Europe by Nov. 7th, promise
Hey! You may not have noticed, but you don’t own Little Big Planet yet. If you live in Europe, you might have no idea when you will own Little Big Planet. Fear not! While there’s no firm release yet, Sony says that the game will be out in Europe, Australia, and the Middle East “no later than the week commencing Monday 3rd November”. That might mean stores can sell them whenever they get them that week or a firm date is still being decided on.
Mortal Kombat II dropped from PSN, not even Sony knows why
The new PS3 firmware update did some neat things. It also made it so a lot of people can’t see Mortal Kombat II listed. It’s unlikely the game was dropped, as it sells well on the Playstation Network, so even Sony is puzzled when they began receiving six pages of comments on their message boards about the title being delisted. They say a fix is coming soon as soon as they figure out what went wrong.
Okami replacement covers have finally shipped
Remember that hullaballoo a few months back about Okami Wii using art lifted from IGN, complete with water mark, on the boxart? At the time, Capcom let people order covers of other game art as a replacement, then all mention of any alternate covers drifted away. Well, they’ve finally shipped, and they look pretty great. They’d make nice posters if you don’t plan to replace your historic Watermarkgate cover.
