I noticed that when I launched Brink the first time on my PS3, I downloaded an update for the game. I was pleasantly surprised and I was wondering how this occurred and can it happen again?
They've said the next full update for PS3 is going to wait until the network is back up - they want to know if there's any need for network issues to be addressed before they tweak things for us.
correct, just cause PSN is down doesnt mean your PS isnt still connected to the internet. And since updates are pushed from SD servers and not Sony's you still get ur updates
