If you've bought into PlayStation Plus, on Tuesday you can get the Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days demo shipped to your console via automatic download. Everyone else gets it July 27.
Automatic downloads are a feature of PlayStation Plus, though the demo is available through the PlayStation Store for subscribers too. The demo announcement comes with a whole mess of instructions on how to get the thing as fast as possible. Auto download turns on your PS3 every 48 hours to check for new stuff and download anything available to the console. The deal is, if your system is on during the timeframe you set for it to check for these updates, the PS3 waits to check until after it is turned off during its next designated timeframe which is 24 to 48 hours later.
So, to summarize, don't be playin' when your PS3 should be scannin' and downloadin'. Be sleepin' or something.
