Do you sometimes get jealous of your Xbox-owning friends that are able to download demos and DLC a day earlier than you? Don't worry, PS3 fans. Sony has a solution: Release content before Microsoft! Both the American and European PlayStation Store updates are moving to new days, starting in May.
Tuesdays become the new day for PSN updates in North America, as recently explained by Pulse's Christina Lee (pictured, above). In Europe, content will be updated on Wednesday, as explained by SCEE's Mike Kebby.
While this may seem like terrific news for PlayStation fans, we're pretty certain this is how the time wars begin. With Sony pushing earlier, Microsoft will have no choice but to retaliate by sending Major Nelson back in time to assassinate the unborn Kevin Butler! Don't worry, though. We're pretty certain he knows how to travel through time as well.
[Thanks, Doug M.!]

This is gonna throw me off. I imagine I'll get used to it, but PSN Tuesday just doesn't have the same ring as PSN Thursday

Won't be surprised if Microsoft does XLM Mondays or Microsoft Mondays to take the steam out of this one...

Major Nelson would be like the Mr. Bean of time travel.
He'd probably end up destroying us all in a strange space-time continuum.

Why don't you just pretend it's not on there then and then check it still on Thursday? Your whole argument is just stupid.

You can prefer whatever you want to prefer. But your preference in this case is stupid.

If this keeps going, we'll start having PSN Mondays, PSN Sundays, PSN Saturdays and so on.
