About time it went up, Iv been checking your website since 2 for the update

Sloppy article Jem.

Single issue Qore purchasers WILL be aloud to get in on the Resistance 2 beta, only at a LATER DATE than if you purchase the annual Subscription. Those purchasing the annual subscription get "Premier" status and early access to the beta.

Take it easy on Jem. He puts up with my incessant blatherings about euro prices at every opportunity and has never once called me a d1ck about it.

And trust me, I've been a d1ck about it.

Meh.

MOAR Playable Content please Sony.

papertiger201 @ Aug 7th 2008 6:38PM

Well which would you rather? A sometimes slow release of playable content (even though we've gotten tons of great stuff in the past weeks) that is of consistently high quality, or a bunch of games guaranteed every week, even though most of them are rather poor (a la XBOX Live).

Josh @ Aug 7th 2008 6:26PM

I think you need to rename "Playable Content" to "Interactive Content". Aside from the L2 gimmick, I'm not playing Qore.

gamingeek @ Aug 7th 2008 6:30PM

At least there is some good RB content this week.

Zach Adams @ Aug 7th 2008 6:34PM

I'm pretty annoyed that we didn't get the final segment of the Bionic Commando BtS. Maybe it'll be out next week, but everyone who cares will be far too busy downloading the actual game.

Skewed Perspective @ Aug 7th 2008 6:53PM

Amen brother

RegimeNoir @ Aug 7th 2008 6:48PM

S.O.A.D hell yeeeeeah!!! for me this is most look forward to band on rockband ever.

bonedawg @ Aug 8th 2008 9:52AM

I almost didn't catch the "for me" part... cuz I was about to say... S.O.A.D. is going to be the first DLC songs that I WON'T download!

hoopty @ Aug 7th 2008 6:54PM

Wow, what a great PSN update today? I see absolutely nothing interesting in this weeks update. Maybe next week I guess....

HektikLyfe @ Aug 7th 2008 6:58PM

"QORE!!!!"

"What is it good for?"

"Absolutely nothin' nothin'....."

Invisible Robot Meat @ Aug 7th 2008 8:06PM

Say it again!

VeganTnT @ Aug 7th 2008 8:23PM

except letting me drool over veronica belmont from the comfort of my own home

HektikLyfe @ Aug 8th 2008 12:10PM

Meh.

I like girls who look more like women and less like little emo boys.

Not my type at all.

stompingbabies @ Aug 7th 2008 7:19PM

just to let you know the NASCAR 09 car skins aren't free. i think they are $2.49 a piece or something like that.

Deadpool @ Aug 7th 2008 7:24PM

Deadpool @ Aug 7th 2008 7:37PM

Go to your download list and you should see it there.

oOo BioShock oOo @ Aug 7th 2008 7:31PM

I get EGM monthly, will a code be in that?

Tim Parsons @ Aug 7th 2008 7:51PM

i got a Qore sub in July so,. Cool!

Hmm I think I missed Deadspace Comic #3 either that or i just don't remember it guess i'll download #3 & 4 and find out. I like them

I'm pretty Deadspace will be a first day buy for me, it and Fallout3 & will leave BioShock & R2 has Full week rentals, Can't afford all 4 if I could i would.

M @ Aug 7th 2008 8:34PM

did anyone just get a creepy call for project abrahm?

leatherface @ Aug 8th 2008 12:37AM

yeah, those are crazy calls. this happen to me twice now. i tried
calling back but the 0-000-000-0000 does not work.

oglabogla @ Aug 7th 2008 9:59PM

Am I the only one here who thinks that graphically DC Universe looks like a ps2 game, or at least a release game?

Brodie-san @ Aug 8th 2008 5:48AM

You are not alone. I don't like the graphical look to the game which, considering how much I think Jim Lee is a GOD, pains me to say.

I don't know. I'm of the opinion that graphical fidelity in MMOs is never on par with "unMassive" games. This is because the graphics element is not the selling point however; it's the social interaction and leveling such games provide.

If a really stunning MMO game came out (and based in a universe I was at least somewhat familiar with like, say, the Forgotten Realms fantasy setting) I'd be all over that like a cheap suit. Until then, MMOs just don't attract me.

But I wish this game well. It does seem to be trying new things, especially the whole PC/PS3 aspect of it . Just (probably) not for me. Who knows, maybe I'll quit my job and have more time to be running around in tights (again).

perestroika @ Aug 8th 2008 4:06AM

but where are parts 2/3/4 of the dev diary for dead space? i want to see to see them all!

i guess i'll have to look around the web then.

jean @ Aug 8th 2008 4:10AM

hi sorry to change the topic here but i have some questions.

im in germany right now and im thinking of buying mgs4 for my american ps3(i live in south america) beacause all the ps3 games ae supposed to be region free however the box of mgs4 says that the game is region 2 ,that means it isn´t region free right ?,

and the other question is, if i buy an hdmi cable in europe will i be able to use it in americ

PLZ RESPOND!!!!

Brodie-san @ Aug 8th 2008 5:31AM

Hi Jean - welcome to PS3FB. HDMI is universal. MGS4 will also work on your PS3 back home in South America but there may be incompatibilities with DLC.

Considering the game in question I'd recommend picking it up in your home country, just in case.

Kristian Freeman @ Aug 8th 2008 5:50AM

I subscribed to Qore today, and I'm scared to try and purchase July's Qore Episode (#2) and have to pay another ~$4.

Anyone know how the subscription works? Can I go back and get previous episodes?

Hoffer @ Aug 8th 2008 5:57AM

I have the annual sub to Qore. I have decided that the thing is absolutely worthless. They feature 4 games a month and it is just video. The same kind of video you'd get for free if Qore wasn't around. Then today they announce that SOCOM people that preorder will get the beta a week early. Well crap, I guess we should all just do that instead of getting Qore.

They really need to make Qore worth paying for. It's only $25, so I'm not going to cry about it.
