North American PSN Update: 8/17/10

After the day Sony had today, it’s almost just icing on the cake to know there is an update as well. The brightest spot about the update? Undoubtedly the NHL 11 demo. I’m telling you right now, this game is beastly and even if you don’t enjoy hockey, you’ll find a way to love this title. Other updates include: Joe Danger demo, HAWX 2 demo, and your regularly scheduled music title songs.

Check it all out below.
