Introducing Qore: Taking you behind the curtain with PlayStation

I really don’t understand where some of the people are getting their information from. No where did they say they were going to withhold demos and etc… from non paying subscribers, just that they’d get exclusive content. Lets look at folklore, they released special “FREE” add-ons for special occassions but made you pay for the rest. If you didn’t want the other stuff you didn’t have to buy it. They aren’t saying they are going to give them the regular content of the PSN and give everyone else nothing. They’re saying on top of all the other content they are going to deliver to you every week, once a month they are going to throw in something extra into their E-Zine. But for some reason everyone feels like they should be entitled to everything they have to offer and nothing should be a privelage to someone who is paying for a service. In the real world this happens all the time, there is always somewhere where you can get a little bit more than everyone else by investing just a little bit more. As far as BETAS go, even if you chose to look at it as paying for it, you’re paying for the E-Zine and access to the BETA is privelage they give. But again everyone feels like they should have access to it. Before todays gaming consoles, only people “in the know” or people who were part of some premium service they payed for got this type of exclusive treatment. The other console got a beta for Bad Company and they had to reserve it. Everyone who pre-orders the game regardless of console gets to play the demo earlier than everyone else. It’s just incentives. They’re everywhere especially in the gaming world. But everyone here is freaking out because they are worried that they won’t continue to get the same content as before. But has Sony said that, no, but they haven’t denied it either. So just stay calm be excited for the new feature and see what happens. If they do undercut the content of the regular PSN Store then it’s simple don’t use their console and find one that makes you happier. The truth is people will always find a reason to complain. Go ahead, it is you’re opinion, however I find it hard for everyone to be complaining at this present time because no one knows the full extent of what this new service is going to mean for everyone else except for Sony. Call me naive, but truth is this is a good thing and if you don’t like it don’t use it. Oh and one more thing, everyone who is complaining about future services, lets be logical for a moment, how much money and resources do you think is going into something like HOME, while the overall aspect of the service is going to be free, how can you expect them to recoup their investment other than by microtransactions and charging for additional items and what not. They aren’t going to charge for anything thats going to make you not utilize their service, only extras that you don’t need, just want. And lets not forget about the video service, how much money, liscences, agreements, it takes to secure the ability to provide us with movies for our enjoyment. I hope people wouldn’t be naive and expect that to be free as well! We should all expect a charge with a service like that and hopefully a reasonable one as I’m sure it will be. And again if someone finds it not reasonable, then simply just don’t purchase any movies and move on.
