Sony answers some questions you may have about Qore

by Nick Doerr { Aug 6th 2008 at 11:30PM }

The third episode of Qore hits the PSN tomorrow and the PlayStation Blog has updated their site to let you know what's on it. While that's all well and good, they also take the time to answer several questions readers have had about the service. We thought we'd bring their answers to your attention.

You can re-download Qore, but if you delete a particular episode and re-download it later, you won't be privy to time-sensitive content like exclusive demos and betas. As new episodes come out, they say they will not overwrite old episodes so you can keep them all individually. Just don't delete them if you're a collector. As for remote play, they are currently evaluating the PSP as a medium for viewing Qore -- we're sure piracy is some kind of an issue there. New annual subscribers may someday get access to older PSN titles are bonuses for signing up. Advertisers are allowed 15 seconds of advertisement per run of Qore, meaning you are forced to watch the ads once while the episode is active, but can skip it after that. We'll all get to enjoy the third episode tomorrow with the PS Store update.

[Update: fixed a misinterpretation in the post. Sorry!]

You must have read it wrong. If you delete an episode, you CAN get it back. You just may not be able to get back some of the demos or other limited content.

"should you decide to delete an Episode of Qore from your HDD, you can always go back to your Download List and download it again"

I've made the change in the post to reflect that error. I was going on personal experience, really. I had lost episode 1 because I swapped my hard drive out and didn't back up that particular download, but when I went into my download list and re-downloaded my subscription, it automatically only gave me episode 2. But if they say you can do it, I probably messed up somewhere in the process.

Don't have your game face on today Nick?

Oh really?
There's one question that they've obviously left unanswered and it's probably the biggest question of them all.

Will Europe get Qore? Will we see anything remotely like Qore? Is SCEE even real or is it all just a myth?

What do you mean by "Some People"?
HUH?!

j/k

I think Qore is a fun little addition to PSN. Gives me something to look foward to each month.

Actually, they said you could delete and re-download episodes just not necessarily add on content like demos and betas. From the blog: "In addition, should you decide to delete an Episode of Qore from your HDD, you can always go back to your Download List and download it again."
