Much like Europe's lackluster update, there's not that much tantalizing material in this week's U.S. PSN update. Headlining the new content is the third episode of Qore, the interactive PlayStation magazine. There's also a fair bit of cheap Rock Band content and the Guitar Hero Interscope track pack if you're a music game fan. Other than that, there's... NASCAR skins? Keep playing those three demos from last week folks.

    I think its a decent update. Sure, no demos but we get the AMAZING SW: The Force Unleashed Launch Trailer, the E3 home vid, AND a chance to get into the HOME closed beta. I wouldn't mind skpping week of demos for the beta.

    It seems that Rock Band is more popular in the USA than it i in Europe and Guitar Hero 3 is more popular in Europe than it is in the USA.

    @17... I am guessing you're fishing for a flame war from your fellow PSU'ers from across the pond with that remark, but I'll try to start a different argument, Brit style:

    GO GUNNERS!!!

    did anyone else watch that "the Last Guy" video. I laughed so hard I blacked out.

    @17- I sense a great amount of jealousy in you.

    Where is the Soul Caliber 4 demo? I hate fighting games with a million moves per character with a million different ways of stringing the moves together, most of which are impossible to pull off unless you're a hermit in a cave who plays for 90 hours a week (90% of the overzealous nerd xbox 360 population).

    All around good update but I agree with most people demos and betas help make updates special. But when u look past  that its not bad. One demo a week would be great though.
