Mike Kebby wasn’t lying last week when he said that Europe would be getting a massive update.

The US Store update is smaller but includes three new demos, add-on game content and videos.

As an added bonus for God of War fans, those that complete the demo will unlock an exclusive making of featurette about God of War III.
WipEout HD will be getting a patch soon, which makes some small improvements to front-end functionality and addresses some minor issues with the audio.
