Today Mike Kebby of the SCEE PlayStation Store Team has posted this week's European PSN update, as follows:
For PS3 users we have got the NBA 2K10 demo available properly (we had some issues first time we tried to release this for you) and the Hextadon pack for Brütal Legend arrives and is free to all for the first two weeks of release, so don’t miss out on this offer.
