LBP pushed back?

Hi Guys, long time lurker, first time posting..

I'm a little perturbed that I received an e-mail this morning from a certain online retailer which used to be owned by Mr. Branson, telling me my order for Little Big Planet has been pushed back to the 14th November..

Are they;

A) Yanking my chain

B) Getting their stock in late, or,

C) Telling the truth?

I can't seem to find any other reference to this anywhere, so i'm thinking I may well cancel my pre-order and go somewhere else..

Anyone else have any more info?

Very strange, I'm not aware of any delay, as far as I know it's still due on the 24th which is what everyone else is still showing. Maybe they just haven't ordered enough stock?

Edit: Claimed!

AAA title, I'd imagine a few stores will have underestimated demand.
Go elsewhere I reckon.

Looks like this news is spreading to the gaf, people are reporting that other EU sites are now saying that it's coming out on the 14th now

, I hope their wrong.

EDIT - well apparently a guy in the know on the gaff has just asked SCEE and it's still on for the 24th, his usually reliable with his information.

Thanks people, although it would be a relief to my bank balance to shift it back a month (So.... Many.... Pre-orders....), I don't think I could bear the itchy thumbs, so order is now changed..

I think i'll be keeping my fingers crossed, nonetheless.

Change to another retailer tbh. Apart from giving student discounts, the retailer you use is usually quite crappy imo.
