Well, it’s certainly a slow new day out there today, but hat’s something that should be alleviated by this afternoon’s PlayStation Store. While there hasn’t been any official announcement, I still have my fingers crossed that Puzzle Quest Galactrix will be available today, if not, well I’ll just continue my addiction to Challenge of the Warlords. Check out today’s headlines:

• It’s not much, but we have a few details on the upcoming portable version of LittleBigPlanet. Unlike the console version, the new game won’t be developed by Media Molecule, but instead Sony’s Cambridge studio.
• Meanwhile the PS3 version is getting an upgrade for search functionality and a few new costumes based on Killzone 2, Heavenly Sword, and Buzz!
• A new space shooter, No Gravity: The Plague of Mind, is coming to the PSP as a downloadable title today.
• It’s far from confirmed, but an analyst has told Kotaku that a new PSP is on the way, this time with out a UMD drive.

In typical Friday fashion, there isn’t much in the way of new, interesting gaming news. But hey, there’s nothing wrong with taking a day to actually play games instead of read about them. But here are the headlines for today anyways:

• Gamers in the UK will finally get a chance to play some Brit-themed BUZZ!, with a brand new trivia game aimed specifically at out friends across the pond.
• A new Need For Speed should be hitting the PS3 later this year, as EA has announced the all new NFS: Shift. The game will be much more “arcadey” compared to previous incarnations, instead focus on more realistic racing.
• Though everyone expects Killzone 2 to be a huge hit, Sony Europe is backing the game with a huge advertising budget in that territory.
• Fans of LittleBigPlanet will get a kick out of this: possibly the best calendar ever created.

Well, it’s Christmas Eve eve, and the PSM is getting ready to take some time off for the holidays. So this will be the last batch of news until the new year. But stay tuned, because later today I’ll be publishing some of the best PlayStation games of the year.

• Buzz! is getting a fresh dose of downloadable questions, this time covering “underwater life.”
• Gomibako, a strange tower defense PSN game, will see an English release, though it hasn’t been confirmed for North America yet.
• SOCOM: Confrontation will be getting a significant update, unfortunately it won’t be ready until next year.
• If you’re jealous of Xbox 360 owners who got to play Braid, keep the faith. Designer Jonathan Blow has said he hopes to bring it to the PS3, but Sony will have to express interest first.
