I bought the year subscription and its worth the ~$2.00 I spent per-issue. Developer interviews are interesting and the monthly mini-games are a nice waste of time. The main reason I subscribed to Quore was for the betas.

The advertisements are not very obtrusive, as they are all theatrical trailers and game videos (with the exception of the 2 second burger king ad).

If you are complaining about paying for the privilege of viewing ads, then I feel sorry for you, as almost everything we look at now has an advertisement in it.

Well 2.00 bucks an issue which some have beta included is an awesome deal! Sony is like releasing so many betas this fall for most of their games this Fall. I mean, you don't see free betas too often that are this easy to get. Most betas require you to reserve games like COD5 or MGO, some require you to sign up to yearly services like File PLanet's Red Faction Beta, and some require just chance (HOME, Resistance, Crackdown's Halo 3 code, COD4's tokens last year, etc). $2.00 for to guarantee beta is the best deal ever, even if you don't care about the magazine.

I guess it's so all those non-Quore buyers won't be able to just download the EU demo.

I hope I get a voucher.

It makes me happy to just pay $50 a year for Xbox live instead of all this mess.

I dunno about that, obviously the demo will go public closer to the games release. If this kind of thing keeps PSN free (allowing one game demo get two bursts of hype etc), then its not to bad. Is annoying that this is really to level the playingfield with the non-free US demo tho, why cant SCEE just release Qore in Europe and be done with it.

You'd rather pay money than maybe not get to play a demo for a month?

Well, lucky for you Americans, you *can* pay money if you don't want to wait a month to play this demo.

makes me happy that if i choose not to subscribe to a magazine that offers bonuses it doesn't effect my ability to play the online portion of games i buy. the cable bill is a different story

It's a fucking demo to the sequel to a shitty game. Do they seriously think anyone cares that much?

Motorstorm rules, and you are a loser. Isn't it fun to state opinions as facts? And everyone really cares what you think.

So the demo is done.. and they don't want everyone to try it? Why?

Well I'll tell you.

HYPE.

There is something special about being the first and only few to play the game. Only the dedicated people to buy into the demo are going to praise it thus creating a hype and a want by those who haven't. Smart marketing team, however the game will fall short of everything from gameplay and graphics to sound and functionality.

I'm sure it will sell though, like the first one. However instead of selling by simply being a "pack in" game and thriving of the players thrust for a good game, the 2nd installment of the series will sell to those who have lowered their standards of racing games by making themselves warrant their purchase of the first.

Qore is effectively cutting deals with game publishers to delay demos to the general public so that they can make a buck.

While this is tolerable when it comes to gaming magazines since they provide a physical disc with content that would otherwise be unavailable to the end user, Qore is different because they are providing demos that would otherwise be freely available through PSN and using it to push their product.
