tbh, its bit of a mystery for me too
i pre-ordered LBP (german version) 2 or 3 weeks ago on my favorite online store (
http://www.spielegrotte.de) cos you usually get games 1-2 days before official launch and in most cases its the cheapest store!
so, everything was fine so far and then, this weeks tuesday, i browsed that shop again to order some other stuff (dead space & fallout 3) and guess what i found: LBP (english version, with full german localisation like almost every ps3 game

) to be released on wednesday, 15th october
i sent an email to them and asked if they can change my order to the english version or if i should cancel and make a new one. so they told me to cancel and order the english version what i did just minutes after the e-mail, and well, i received that absolutely fantastic game on thursday
and the mystery about that is that the english version is no longer available (i think the shop only had a couple of copies, or maybe only 1 or 2, and sold them within minutes) and the new release date shows 31.october (on spielegrotte) and 4.november (on amazon)
lucky, lucky me
just found that on kotaku:

edit: at spielegrotte.de the english (US) version of LBP can be ordered again, will be delivered within next 2-3 workdays, this shop also ships to almost all eu-countries
