If you're already an annual subscriber to the PlayStation Network's
Qore "magazine" then you're undoubtedly already content with your purchase, having scored
Calling All Cars, a beta invite to
SOCOM: Confrontation (beta forthcoming), some interstitial advertising and, of course, two issues of interactive-y content. If you've been waiting to drop your virtual bucks on an annual subscription, today's installment should probably be on your radar because, as you undoubtedly remember, that subscription grants one access to the
Resistance 2 beta program in September.
Here's the bad news: That access to the
SOCOM beta you've been waiting for ... well, it won't start until September 8th (incidentally a full week
after it kicks off for those who pre-ordered). The
Resistance 2 beta: also September (and also after those pesky pre-order folks). So what we're trying to say here is this: your September is probably going to be pretty busy playing multiplayer PlayStation 3 shooters that aren't out yet. For more details on this month's episode of Qore, hit up that Source link or watch the trailer after the break.

799$ for a Ps3,they can kiss my ass(400$ or 600$ I just ask you that Sony).
While there is an R2 beta planned for Europe, you won’t be able to get into it through North America’s Qore. More details will be announced as we get closer to the launch of the beta.
*You must purchase a subscription to Qore–not just episode 3–to gain premier access to the Resistance 2 public beta.
*As we’ve stated in the past, there will be MULTIPLE ways of getting into the Resistance 2 public beta. The subscription to Qore is just ONE way. Stay tuned over the next few weeks for more details.

That's specious reasoning. It's neither right that you have to pay $50 for multiplayer nor $25 for demos. The fact that they're charging you LESS for something that should be free changes nothing.

Is it an infomercial because all the features and ads have to do with the playstation game machines? Were they supposed to feature 360 and wii games too?

If they wanted to sell this "product" to the ultra hardcore Playstation faithful, I don't think anyone would mind. But the sleazy attempt to add value by putting a pricetag on things that others get for free? That will forever lend Qore a particular stench. It happened with Games for Windows Live, and now it's happening here.
And all for what, so less people will try their games and decide to buy them? I hope that $25 a year is worth it.

Now tell me EGM, PC World should be free too.
