Better than the European one, as usual. But alteast we got MGO.
The North American store has the UEFA EURO 2008 Demo yet the European store was not given it; Oh the Irony.

That's a whole lot of nothing.  Out of all that, I'll probably only download the PE trailer.  Now if Sony could just get those PSN cards out, I might actually start buying content. *Hint hint*

The European update might look better if it was arranged in a list like this, not all in small, italic print.
