PSN Thursday: Qore delivers episode two

by Alexander Sliwinski on Jul 3rd 2008 8:57PM

Unless the promise of spending time with our pal Ms. Veronica Belmont and another episode of Qore sounds like a nice Thursday night (there's an episode teaser after the break) it might be best to just ignore this week's PSN update. Per usual, the rhythm games add some content and there's also some game videos that might be of interest. With E3 only a couple weeks away, it's understandable that things are a bit quiet at the moment, but we're seriously starting to itch for PixelJunk Eden!

This week's European PSN update adds several pieces of Buzz!-worthy content; check it out over at PS3 Fanboy.

Well E3 better bring something, because this is pathetic.

they should have put up a tour video of 2.40.

whats 2.40?
i dont see it

its the firmware i have on my 60gig ps3. but i'm being kinda serious, they should put instructional videos in the store. they have a youtube page already. some people don't know what their machines do. every update i see someone say they can listen to music and surf the web, and thats been working since i got mine last summer. maybe they can explain that if you download a demo and don't do it in the background it will auto install.

You still can't goto the store and listen to music at the same time.

Manage your friends while watching a movie.

YOU CANT EVEN CHANGE THE TIME WHILE hearing the sounds of bob marley.

This is why the Xbox 360 feels so together. The ps3 feels so....so....not connected.

@Tiptup300

WOW thnx for stay on topic. I didn't know this thread was a comparison between 360 and PS3. B/c the last time I read it (1minute ago), I read that it was about the "PSN Update" on the PLAYSTATION!

wow. i didnt even know about the auto install demo thing. my connection is too slow for that though, plus i usually like to play my PS3 while its downloading stuff.

but you are right, i get people asking me questions about firmware stuff that i thought was common knowledge. a video walkthrough of new features would be great for something like that.

They do have two video walkthroughs of 2.40

do they have those video on the psn mcpoop? if so where? i just think it would be helpful to have right in the store and if the link to youtube on the browser went straight to their channel.

tiptup your so right. i'll start a 6 person chat with my friends and we'll complain how the psn is so . . . so . . . not connected.

Yay!

I've been looking forward to the new Qore issue. I really want to try to Naturo demo.

Has anybody heard of when 2.4 will be released again?

So...with Ryan leaving Weblogs...will we see less of Veronica too?

Is Block leaving?

With a last name like Belmont, I expected her to have skin tight leather clothing and a whip.

If it's any consolation, I DO wear a skin-tight mo-cap suit in this episode: http://tinyurl.com/6nj8km

Yah, but I see no whip! D:

Or vampire killing.

lol at your robot. the important thing is you tried.

@Veronica

When will the SOCOM Beta go live?

I have one request for Qore. Since we are paying for each episode we should have the option of skipping the Burger King Ads - Feel me?

@Haters

Why you guys feel the need to act as if SONY is charging you for this content is beyond me. This is an optional video magazine that is independent of SONY. I enjoyed the first episode even though I had already purchased Calling All Cars from the PSN. The Beta invites and early demos are obviously just a smart way to attract interest to the magazine. Besides, its just a neat little service and very creative. I really liked the piece they did in the first episode about Afro Samurai. I will certainly purchase that game now.

iz dat sum veronica belmont?

still no wipeout hd

i can't believe they charge for this stupid content. F U sony.

Right back at ya.

Shuttup and don't buy it then.

I think we have the right to be miffed about charging for adverts.

Double Dragons!

If you understand this reference I love you.

Man, I have no idea where they got THAT from... I guess I'm flattered?

CAG > life

I get it, fellow CAG.

anyone else see the easter egg pong type game in core? its amusing for a few minutes

where did you find the new core download? i paid for the subscription last month and its not giving me the option to download anything for it this month.

Kevin - If you go to your Downloads list in the Store, it's sitting there waiting for ya.

thanks, found it in my account history.

What happen's if you press L2? I don't have a ps3 but I really wanna know.

Pressing L2 from the main page of Qore bricks your PS3. (or launches a minigame)

pffffffffffff, this is ****

i'd prefer saving my 3 bucks to buy some gamerpics...

*sarcasm*

I wish they would just give us more PS1 games. Why the hell does Japan get so many? I've kind of been itching to play Rayman for the PS1. The UK store has had it for several weeks.

The Japan PSN has Xenogears... talk about envy. Grrrr.

i want to subscribe to this but i just cant help but think it will loose it's luster at some point doing the year subscription. ill probably download the one during E3 though since they more than likely will have plenty of content then.

Qore is actually really cool. So far I'm really enjoying the behind the scenes videos. Veronica Belmont is a great host too, which was really surprising. I was expecting a "cool" host that knew everything that was "cool", even though she is cool...but not the "cool" kinda cool but cool cool. Rival systems weep because we now how the POWA of the Belmont on or side! Minus the whip...and leather...and magic...and fearlessness. Just the spell of cuteness which I WILL NOT...FALL UNDER...MUST...RESIST...MUST...USE WILLAIM SHATNER...RESISTANCE...TALK...TO...OVERCOME!!! AGHHHH!

Next ->

*Vidikron*

I've been wanting to play TOMBA and RAYMAN for a long time. Tomba's one of the PS1 games I regret skipping out on. All I have is an old demo of Tomba. Do you have any idea how much that game sells for on ebay? Too stinken much for a PS1 game I tells ya!

It's just disappointing that Japan seems to get several PS1 games per week, but we're lucky to get 1 per month. Do they not sell over here or what?

Qure... "Paid for advertisement" just got new meaning...

How more stupid that can be: Sony charges its customers for something that helps Sony to sell more to the customers?

i think its more like an official magazine, like the kind that come with a demo disk.

I think Qore is a great ideaa plus Veronica is a good host.....keep up the good work......and please get PSN to India :D

Dead Space Animated Comic 2 & 3! Woot!

Ok, if I paid the annual subscription (which I did) why must there be ads all over the place in qore, my only bitch but so far its pretty cool.

PS. you're quite the cutie Veronica.

OHHH YEEAAHH
