North American PSN Update; July 31, 2012

Welcome to this week's PlayStation Network update! Apart from a few games, this update looks to be more about add-ons, demos, and preorders. PSN Play is still offering preorder bonuses for The Expendables 2 and Sound Shapes, and The Expendables 2 is dropping its discount next week, so this is a great time to download it.

Ridge Racers Unbounded has been added to the PS3 Full Game section for the discounted price of $44.99; if you're still on the fence, you can check out our review of it right here.

The demos in this update are definitely attractive, featuring Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, which includes both single-player and multiplayer experiences, and the Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 demo, which has been highly praised by fans.

Anime fans will be happy to see that the official Crunchyroll app is now available for download on the PS Store. The videos may be dubbed, but you can watch them on your PlayStation 3 consoles.

Add-ons are aplenty this time around, so look for your favorite game and download away. Enjoy this week's update.
