Game delays are so blase, don’t you think? Developers constantly pushing back releases so they can add "polish" or work out bugs has become so droll and boring that we barely even notice anymore. Now then, moving a release date forward, that’s where the excitement is, and that’s exactly what appears to be happening with the upcoming LittleBigPlanet.

In the latest edition of the PlayStation Underground newsletter, the game is listed as available Oct. 7, two weeks earlier than the original Oct. 21 release. The skeptic will tell you that this is merely a typo, and that we shouldn’t get worked up over such things, but then you have to wonder whose heads are going to roll for allowing such a major mistake to be printed about such a huge game in an official Sony publication? Besides, it’s not like moving up a release date is unprecedented. Even Dead Space is coming out sooner than we originally thought simply because it’s done, and EA would like to start making money on it as soon as possible. Therefore, a release of LBP is at least technically plausible, if still somewhat unlikely.

We’re still waiting for a response from both Sony and Media Molecule, but in the meantime we’ll go ahead and let our imaginations run wild at the possibility that we could be playing LBP in less than two weeks. Sometimes it’s fun to dream.
