5000+ comments… Wow guys!!! lol
@ WHAT, ummm you just posted and why be angry at Sony? This is a big store update. Alot of stuff. maybe they are getting ready to launch the newest firmware on Tuesday. Who knows? well I do but can’t tell….. nah nah :P
BAN HAMMER IS GOING TO HIT YOU ON THE HEAD….
So what time did the update finally go live?
Do not get Qore it is Pathedic. Its Got like 5 video’s that I have seen a majority of online about 15 or so total. of which max out at 3-5 mins of mind numbing babble that we have all read about the upcoming titles. Maybe SCEA thought we thought it would be cool to actualy hear the developers say it as opposed to writing it. A bunch of artwork (I dont know why) and the only downloads are socom theme and calling all cars if you got annual. I almost forgot to mention the completly interactive translates to you must click on every video cause there is no autoplay, You cant interact with the video’s as we were lead to believe. Oh yea there is a menu for Socom beta but its “unavailable: Check back later” But they dont even tell you when later is. I thought I paid for this service to stop the guess work…. Thanks again for nothing SCEA well at least you stole my $24.99.
How will we want to purchase a specific issue of Qore if there’s no way of telling what’s featured in Qore for a specific month? Suggestion: Give a brief description of what’s featured in Qore each month that way we can decide if we want to buy certain issue or not.
Glad the content is up and I’m downloading right now. It’s all right it took a while, but I’m just glad it came before the weekend. ;)
Thanks a lot for the awesome update.
Meteor! I mean, Holly! 5060+ posts! O_O
BTW, nice update, buuuuut, no PS1 games yet ? :(
*Summonning Meteor…*
Qore is suxor. They best get innovative with this thing, else I want my money back! I’ve built websites that were more interactive than this thing! WTF! I got hosed!
BUT, it is the first one so I’ll give them up to 3… cause 3 is the magic number. ;0
DAMM!!!!!!! 102 Pages?!?!
I think this is by far THEE most popular PS Blog post….
BTW….This issue of Qore is pretty good if you are a huge Socom fan.
It’s just like any other magazine, looking forward to issues covering Fallout 3 and Bioshock
When is the Socom Beta comming? I know if you pre-order the game you get the Beta right then and the Qore users have to wait 2 weeks…..Dun Dun Dun Dun Nah Nah!
uuummmm – i just purchased the QORE annual subscription which was suppose to come with the free “calling all cars game” – so where is it? (i guess i was taken for – bummer)
about time it went up
did a bunch of posts get deleted?
@1539 about 3000 of them
arf, even more have gotten deleted typikal82
SONY DELETED OUR POSTS :(
WE REACHED MORE THAN 5000 OVERNIGHT.
GOOD OLD TIMES ;(
PSN ID:boJABER
Yes a lot of posts were erased, it was more than the blog is supposed to handle ? Well whatever, I am ok with this update, however I won’t forgive the fact that no new PS1 games yet… ¬_¬
@1475 if u go to the downloads section inside Qore u can get call all cars inside there a long with socom theme and beta(when available). Call all cars only for ppl who bought annual subscription.
Yeah – I wasn’t kidding when I said the ban hammer was in motion.
probably not so much banhammer as deletestick
Man I already have CAC
Can I get a consolation prize? lol, How about Street Sk8er?
this blog should really consider a chatting room app
The fact that there were so many posts from people whose entire day revolved around this update is an embarrassing display of Nerdiness. Hopefully, plenty of them got banned.
I apologize for them, Grace Chen. You didn’t deserve such harsh words. On a sidenote, that was a pretty cool article on the side from Ars Technica. Went from a 6 to a 9. Nice work. :D
Last time I checked this tread had over 5000 comments and over 100 pages. Some serious culling must have taken place….
if they would listen to my suggestions and update the store earlier in the day, the problem would have been seen and sony techs could have started working on the problem earlier!!!
Jeigh | June 6th, 2008 at 6:38 am
wat r u talking about?
why would sony ban their loyal fans who were all waiting to get their hands on the new update
Oh yeah – some serious delete sticking took place. And rightly so. It’s not that the blog couldn’t handle it – all those comments were off-topic and from a select few with no life. Read the comment policy. They reserve the right.
At 1500 comments, I figured I had to blog about this. Seriously, lol, this is nuts.
And despite the opinions of some people who obviously don’t understand publishing, I’m excited about Qore.
Oooh, I dont envy the guy walking with banhammer for 5000 sensless posts.
Is it really too much to ask to put Metal Gear Solid on your PS3/PSP downloadable PS1 titles?!
IT’S ALREADY ON THE JAPANESE STORE. WHAT’S SO HARD ABOUT PUTTING THE ENGLISH ONE ON THE STORE!!!?? MGS4 COMES OUT NEXT WEEK! YOU CAN CASH IN AND MAKE US HAPPY AT THE SAME TIME!!
SONY. HELLO. IT’S ME… MONEY. I’M NAKED, DRUNK, AND HAVE MY SEXY FRIEND, “HAPPY GAMER” IS HERE NAKED TOO. CAN WE HANG OUT WITH YOU FOR A BIT IN YOUR BEDROOM?
NO? OH, OK. HAVE FUN PLAYING WITH… I MEAN, BY YOURSELF THEN.
Thanks a-holes for burying any potential responses from Sony. What do you really want? You are being so contradictory. You are asking for answers but then spamming so much that no one will be able to read them.
Also, the questions many of you ask (about PSN cards for example) have already been answered. Qore isn’t made by Sony, it’s PRESENTED by the PSN. Some of you guys are so dense.
In the words of Michael Scott, “Stop being disrespectful little jerks.”
I have to admit, The whole ordeal was alot of fun. Sony should incorporate a Blogging Text Game.
Blogging Contest FTW!!
Ok Ok how do I go about Pre-Ordering Socom Confrontation? None of the games stores here even know about it. Lame I know but how, I need and want to be in the beta. I’m very sick and have been inside for the past two weeks. I’m bored of GTA and Warhawk and UT3. I need this info soon.
great store update. great record amount of posts here.
PSN CARDS WHEN?
Can we get some serious comments as to what people think about Qore?
It was a good update, even though it took ages to come out.
Awww come on! No remote play with Qore, What else am I suppose to do at work?
You can do work see that you are at work. LOL
dude they deleted my comment i was the original 1000th comment. SOAB
This update is amazing
I don’t know but I feel like they did not like the idea of 5000 comments from the PS community, looks like someone is going to lose its job.
i thought that Fatal Inertia was slated for Release on this update, has anyone heard anything about that?
@THATPSPGUY
“Ok Ok how do I go about Pre-Ordering Socom Confrontation? None of the games stores here even know about it. Lame I know but how, I need and want to be in the beta. I’m very sick and have been inside for the past two weeks. I’m bored of GTA and Warhawk and UT3. I need this info soon.”
If you want to be in the beta, check out the official announcement: http://socom.us.playstation.com/post/2008/06/Public-Beta-Announcement.aspx
Basically, you can’t pre-order anywhere yet so stop trying. There will be info in the future. Just by epsidoe 1 of Qore for access to the public beta in the future.
You also asked about PSN cards – they are on their way, being shipped to retailers currently. Some retailers already have them.
@TenHen,
“i thought that Fatal Inertia was slated for Release on this update, has anyone heard anything about that?”
Be careful where you get your info from – the game was never SLATED FOR RELEASE by Sony. I had it listed on the PlayStation.com Upcoming Content thread as a rumor and on PlayStationLifeStyle.net – but it was just that, a rumor. Since Japan got it last week, and we’ll be getting it eventually for around $29.99 USD – expect it soon. But nothing is final until SONY says so.
woah-things are getting waaay out of hand-1500 comments? Half of which are moaning about Qore?
Shut up moaning! As far as I can see-demos are still free, online play is free! Us Europeans don’t have Qore, so how do they charge us for demos?
The logic of the whigners just doesn’t add up! I didn’t read anywhere that demos were going to be charged for-they said it would be ‘special access’ to demos, not exclusivity!
Also, how do they supply exclusive demos on a monthly basis? Sure maybe the odd one, but how do they put an entire months’ worth of demos in one magazine? It’s just not going to happen, not least because of the staggered releases of some demos!
In a word, whigners-SHUT UP!!!
I have a question for the guys and girls at sony if u purchase the annual subscription and already have calling all cars what happens do u get refunded?Just wondering hopefully u find my question as there is a million comments 80% of which are off topic.please someone answer me because i just purchased Qore.
lol they said thank you for your “Patience” not so sure 1500+ posts is patience but meh
@bigfnrabbit, I also own calling all cars and bought the year sub. I figured we’re just SOL.
@1514: “whigners”
WTF is a whigner?
BTW: You think 1500+ comments is bad? It was at 4000+ this morning.
I plan on getting Qore, especially since you get Calling all Cars thrown in for Free. I was planning on buying that game anyway which brings the cost down to $15 a year. Thats the price of a large pizza and soon, a gallon of gas. Great value. Any word on when Firmware 2.4 will be released? Thanks Sony
Jeff,
Where has Dylan Jobe been? We’re long overdue for a Warhawk patch update…its been like a month!
