That's right, if you've been anxious to see PlayStation Home's transformation for yourself, you'll get a chance to download the new client sometime tomorrow. Or you could just watch a video. Entirely up to you.
As we've covered before, the update brings with it newly themed districts, some free-to-play games and a (hopefully) more useful hub. No specific time for (re)launch was given.

Ten of the 20 best-selling games in Europe this year have been published on Nintendo formats.
The platform holder revealed the top-selling games for the first nine months of 2011 in Europe, the US and Japan as part of its half-year financial results briefing. The data was taken from GfK International, NPD and MediaCreate research, according toGamaSutra.
In Europe, Wii and DS accounted for ten of the top 20 games and seven of the Top Ten, including six consecutive games between No.2 and No.7. The highest ranking title was Nintendo's Wii Sports Resort - second only to FIFA 12 on PS3.
Other Nintendo-based games included Pokémon Black and White, Wii Party, Wii Fit Plus, Mario Kart Wii, and New Super Mario Bros (both on Wii and DS), as well as third party hits Zumba Fitness and Just Dance 2. No 3DS titles made the Top 20.
Japan was the format holder's second best-performing market, with eight Wii, DS and 3DS titles in the Top 20, led by Square Enix's Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 Professional on DS at No.3.
The US was only slightly behind with seven Wii and DS titles in the Top 20 best-selling games of January to September 2011. Ubisoft topped this chart with Just Dance 2 on Wii, followed by Nintendo's Pokémon White in second place.

The PlayStation 3 is getting closer to overtaking lifetime sales of Microsoft's Xbox 360 .
Sony's latest financial results reveal that lifetime, worldwide sales of the PS3 totalled 55.5 million units at the end of its financial quarter on September 30. Last month, Microsoft confirmed that lifetime sales of the Xbox 360 stood at 57.6 million units, with hardware shipments declining year on year.
During the quarter, Sony sold 3.7 million PS3s, an increase of 200,000 units - or 5.7 per cent - year on year. Software sales rose by a similar proportion, climbing 5.9 per cent to 37.4 million units.
Despite the improved sales, Sony's Consumer Products And Services division - which includes its PlayStation business as well as PC, mobile, camera, and TV and video - was hit with a quarterly loss of ¥34.6 billion (£277.6 million).

Rockstar has released the debut trailer for GTA V - and the series is to return to San Andreas.
The trailer shows a variety of sun-drenched, mock-Californian locations, both rural and urban. The anonymous voiceover suggests that, while Rockstar is to once again repeat the story ofGTA IV with a reformed criminal seeking redemption in the American dream, it realises that sending the player out on violent crime sprees within an hour rather dulls the point.
"I wanted to retire from what I was doing, from that line of work," he says. "Be a good guy for once - a family man…But, well, you know how it is."
The San Andreas setting, like Liberty City, gives Rockstar access to a melting pot of social and ethnic diversity, and the trailer shows Hispanic workers harvesting crops as a duster flies overhead, homes being repossessed and the homeless out on the streets, contrasted with the high-rises, oil drilling and golf clubs shown elsewhere.
Despite the variety of locations and the range of activities on show, the trailer is understated, but extremely self-assured. This is the open world as a place rather than a playground, following the same ethos set by GTA IV. Not shown so far is evidence of MotionScan-powered facial animation (as used in LA Noire), whether the game world will extend to San Andreas' Las Venturas or San Fierro, or any specific look at who the protagonist is.
And the soundtrack? Ogden's Nut Gone Flake Overture, by the Small Faces.

Sony's Consumer Products & Services division - which includes the PlayStation business and LCD televisions - suffered a ¥34.6 billion loss ($449m) for the second quarter ended September 30, down from the ¥1 billion profit for the same period last year.
Sales were down to ¥779.7 billion ($10.1bn) for the quarter compared to ¥889 billion, with the PlayStation 3 price cut and software sales as a contributing factor. The company lowered the price of its console in August this year across all regions.
However, it was the manufacturing costs associated with the LCD business that not only pulled the Consumer Products & Services division down, but hit the entire Sony Corporation's bottom line.
Sony Corp recorded losses of ¥1.6 billion ($21m) for the period, down from ¥68.7 billion profit in 2010. Sales were down just over 9 per cent from ¥1.7 trillion to ¥1.5 trillion, with the company blaming continued weak performance in TV sales and manufacturing.
For the full 2011 financial year Sony now expects profits of ¥25.9 billion, down over 80 per cent on last year's ¥135.7 billion, with sales of ¥3 trillion, down from ¥3.3 trillion.
Sony sold 3.7 million PlayStation 3 consoles during the 3 months, up from 3.5 million in 2010, and 1.7 million PlayStation Portable units, up from 1.5 million. The PlayStation 2 shifted another 1.2 million, down from 1.5 million.
PlayStation 3 software topped 37.4 million units, up from 35.3 million, with PSP software at 8.1 million, down from 11 million in 2010. PlayStation 2 game sales dropped from 5.6 million to 2.8 million.

GameStop will begin selling a range of game-focused Android tablet devices online and in selected US stores on November 4.
The tablets sold in-store are the Acer Iconia 7-inch (8GB/$329.99), the Asus Eee Pad Transformer 10.1-inch (16GB/$399), and the Samsung Galaxy 10.1-inch (16GB/$499).
Each comes pre-loaded with six free games: Dead Space, Re-Load, Sonic CD, Monster Madness, Riptide and Cordy. The tablets will also come with the digital version of Game Informer magazine and the Kongregate Arcade app.
The devices will go on sale on Friday at 200 GameStop stores, before being rolled out across company's entire network.
A Bluetooth wireless controller, designed by GameStop's internal R&D department to work with the three tablets, is available for an additional $39.
Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz in September, GameStop president Tony Bartel said the pad was intended to encourage the development of more immersive games for tablets.
"There's not a lot of tablet/Android based games for the consumer that are designed to use an external controller," he said. "Our thought is that the tablet is a great immersive gaming device so it's hard for us to envision how that tablet will really function as such without some sort of controller."
"So we've created a controller that we're testing to really allow for immersive gameplay. It's hard to imagine how to stream a game - let' say Modern Warfare 3 - onto a tablet and then play it with your finger."
GameStop is also developing a cloud-based streaming service that will work in conjunction with the tablet devices.

Why are there so many free games listed in the top 10 grossing games over in Apple's App Store? Because some feature exorbitant in-app purchase fees for virtual items. Quoting ZDNet: 'Developing "free" games aimed specifically at children, and then bundling ridiculously priced in-app purchases inside those "free" games feels scammy to me. Sure, it's not illegal, and it's not against Apple's developer terms and conditions, but Apple is a company that prides itself in protecting users from harm. Most of the game developers do make an attempt to warn users that the game "changes real money for additional in-app content" but it's a lame attempt. It's easily missed, and kids aren't going to read it anyway.
