inFAMOUS Second Son Is Getting An Awesome Day One Patch

Usually when you hear "day one patch" it is a bad thing to hear but that it is not the case for inFAMOUS Second Son it would seem. Yes, there will be a day one patch for the game but it will be bringing more than just some tweaks and fixes to balance the game out. In fact this will be bringing five hours of extra game play for those who didn't pre-order the game and an estimated six for those who did. All of this over a little bit of time though.

Here is the list of all the goodies that the inFAMOUS Second Son patch notes explain.
