12:40PM Michael McWhertor | Next Qore Opens Door To Home. According to the pitch for the next issue of Qore — Sony’s digital magazine on PlayStation Network — subscribers and single issue buyers will get access to the closed beta for PlayStation Home. Since Home has been “guaranteed” to hit PlayStation 3s by end of year, you might have a hard time justifying the spend — but if you’re dying to get in, here’s one more way. [via PS3Fanboy] More »

European PSN Gets Qore (Well, Sort Of) As Well

11:20PM Luke Plunkett | SCEA has the PlayStation.Blog, it’s great, Europe sadly hasn’t followed suit. SCEA has Qore, it’s rubbish, and whaddya know, Europe is following suit! SCEE have signed a deal with Future Publishing that will see an “on-console, weekly digital magazine available exclusively through the PlayStation Network”. Before you ask, yes, they’re claiming the content will be editorial in nature, with demos and DLC – concerningly for people hoping the PSN remains “free” – also on the menu. It’ll be offered in the UK first, in early 2009, with other European territories to follow. More »

MotorStorm 2 Demo Invites Going Out Via Email

10:00AM Michael McWhertor | Looks like Motorstorm: Pacific Rift’s pre-release demo isn’t strictly limited to the Qore subscribing elite. We’ve heard from many a tipster that Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has been sending out invites for the demo version of the Motorstorm sequel, freeing it from its shackles as a strictly pay-to-play demo. That means you should definitely check your inbox, your spam filter and get in touch with your friends across the pond. They might have a spare for you. Thanks to everyone who sent this in — Philip took the first place tip spot and gets the Kotaku no-prize. More »

Qore Customers Get MotorStorm 2 Demo A Month Early

1:20PM Luke Plunkett | This won’t go down well with the Qore-hating brigade. Especially if you’re also a MotorStorm fan. It’s been revealed that as part of the upcoming fourth episode of Sony’s paid-for PS3 “editorial” program, both annual subscribers and individual purchasers of the episode will be given access to the MotorStorm 2 demo a month before anyone else. If you were ever worried that Qore would be Sony’s way of easing the PSN into a premium service divide like that which separates Xbox Live, now’s the time to start worrying a little more. More »

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Gameplay, Demo In July

1:20AM Mike Fahey | GameSpot’s latest episode of their weekly On The Spot show has Namco Bandai marketing manager In Joon Hwang showing off the PlayStation 3 exclusive Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm in action. The game basically takes the fighting from the previous Ultimate Ninja titles and moves it into a 3D arena. The game features 25 characters (*sigh*) along with support character who drop in to help out. It looks great, but how does it play? We’ll know soon enough, as a playable demo will be coming out around E3 in July, initially available exclusively to Qore subscribers and then released to the unwashed masses a couple weeks later. Update: Good old YouTube. Thanks Kumuasata! Hit the link for the full episode of On The Spot. On The Spot for 6/26/08 [GameSpot - Thanks xpowerdumpx!] More »

Subscribe To Qore, Get Calling All Cars

2:30PM Luke Plunkett | I’m still not sold on Qore (which launched today, fyi). Not even close. The concept of paying Sony so they can market stuff to me? That just does not compute. Especially when an annual subscription costs you $US 25, which is $US 25 more than you should be paying for company-produced trailers and “previews”. Guess someone at Sony has anticipated that line of thought, though, and decided that in order to sweeten the deal, anyone opting for a 12-month subscription to the service will get a free copy of David Jaffe’s Calling All Cars. That sound better to you? No? Oh… Qore [Playstation.com] More »
