Okay, we're all very clever when it comes to giving Sony hot, steamy criticism when it announces something and then that something slips. Oh, yes, we're incredibly smart at taking the Michael out of Jack Tretton. So, how come we all go tremble-jelly when the news that LittleBigPlanet from Media Molecule as received its official launch date?

Because we're looking forward to controlling our own little Sackboys, that's why. We cannot wait for October 30th - and not only because that's the birthday of an unnamed SPOnGer. Nope, according to Sony's Japan website, that's also the date for the Japanese launch of LBP.

Although there is no confirmation of territories outside Japan, we also hope it's a global launch.
