First!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE SONY IS GOING TO START CHARGING FOR “EXCLUSIVE” DEMOS AND CONTENT!!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
THIS SHOULD BE FREE!!!!!!
THE PSN UPDATES ARE TOO THIN AS IT IS- THEN TO DIVIDE THAT UP AND CHARGE FOR HALF OF IT!!??
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
THIS IS A BAD SIGN FOR PS3 USERS! TAKE MY WORD FOR IT! SONY YOU ARE ON A SLIPPERY SLOPE!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
some quotes from other PSN gamers-
“would you pay $3.00 for a demo that would have been free? Would you put out $25 a year for new themes? Would you pay money to then have to buy a Add-on?”
“So what could of been in PSN that will be in Qore instead include Demos, Add-ons, Themes, Blu-ray trailers, that will never hit PSN. this will mean that you will have to pay just to access this content”
“They say they have exclusive content, well we would have that for free if they didn’t make Qore. They’re nickle and diming us to the extreme, with a subscriptions and people are buying it. We shouldn’t have to pay for a feature that should and was free.”
“nothing can make me excited for this, you want people to pay for advertising? that is the stupidest thing ever. The hole point is to promote PS3 ang PSP games and you want us to pay. And you are going to give beta keys away to the people stupid enough to pay for this. Betas are meant to be free!
well this isn’t one of the best ideas sony has ever had.”
“Sony should be talking directly to the gamers through the PSN. It should be nurturing a community with direct communication. If Major Nelson can be bothered to add a small free podcast to Live for free then why can’t we have something at the PSN for free? Free for all users, to get all users involved. There is little sense of Sony caring about community relations outside of this blog.”
“This was a perfect opportunity for Sony to start directly talking to gamers and making them feel that the PSN was something special. It should have been a free show every week running for about 15 minutes. Letting PS3 users inside the PS3 world, putting faces on the talent involved and allowing gamers to relate to industry gamers. Making a community. Everyone on the 360 knows the name of Major Nelson. The same should be true for the Playstation but it isn’t. It just makes Sony seem intentionally aloof and out of touch from the audience.”

“What’s next, paying for home?”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Finally an update, thank you!
Bring on QORE!! I’m ready for my yearly subscription!!!!
zola needs the banhammer.
Wrong prices again, on the Disturbed pack, they’re supposed to be .99 cents for a limited time.
Absolutely correct. Caught and corrected.
