To clarify, by a day late we mean us and not the actual update.  Oh my, think of the craziness that would be taking place on the official EU blog if the update really were a day late.  We shudder just thinking about it

Anyway, the update is here and with it is lots of cool stuff.  If you’re lucky enough to be a PlayStation Plus member, you have the full game trial of Hustle Kings to look forward to, as well as three different Fallout 3 expansions.  Also available is the Killzone 3 beta theme, and although the beta is already locked up as far as participants go, the theme is still in the Store if you’re interested.

Following in North America’s footsteps, you can also find Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1 for download, as well as Dead Space Ignition.  Speaking of Sonic 4, you have the official PS3 Attitude review to look forward to in the near the future.

Beyond that, there are several new demos and a lot of game add-ons, videos, themes and avatars available.  So check out the complete list and let us know what can be found in your download queue this week.
