  • I have to say that while Qore hasn’t lived up to it’s potential like, AT ALL, I am impressed that you’re letting us annual subscribers in the beta before the guys just buying this episode.

    If only the Home beta worked that way too.

  • With all of these Beta’s coming out, I’m not going to know what to do with myself. Sony is about to explode and no one sees it yet. Wait until 2009 :)

  • thatsmartguywiththefro

    Before, (this past week or so) when I posted I got a 404 error, but now I’m getting a message saying I’m posting too quickly. I know that servers are probably being overloaded, but Sony should work on beefing them up in the future, especially since we’re banking on multiplying the PS3 population by many in the future.

  • TOMB RAIDER…my virtual love!!!

  • At Noel Silvia:
    Ok this update is pretty good, a lot of videos :D

    However… we are still missing Classic PS1 RPGs… and yes I will keep asking them week after week after week after week til they are delivered ;)

    BTW, Disgaea 3 is a must buy for me, Noel is it possible that you make one of those great themes you usually make, about Disgaea 3 ? ;)

    Thanx again

    • Disgaea has such a supportive group of fans, I\’ll try to talk to my friends over at Atlus and see if we can\’t get you guys a Theme for the new game. *fingers crossed*

  • @ 44
    Your August Subcription can be found next to your last issue in your “View Download” list. Go there to download it.
    @49
    I kind of noticed but sometimes it is hard to believe with all of the other videos that have been in the store since the launch. So i’m sceptical.

  • ME being the one never to complain on the blog or formus just paid a visit to the japan store and they have bleach and gundam psp games and loads of other content spilling from the pages i thought the ero store had it bad the japan store makes the USA store look like a desert but im still happy with the content we have just saying it wouldnt be a bad thing if we imported some of the content from the japan store in english to the american store

  • i downloaded the home theme but it keeps saying corrupted data and when i go to thelist of themes on my PS3. i tried deleting it and redownloadin few times but still wont work.

  • Hey Noel,

    How come Sony isn’t letting testers into the Home Beta based on how long they’ve had their PSN account? I would think the people who have had them longer have been more loyal…

    • There are several factors that will help select those that get into the expanded Home Beta.
      Keep an eye on that thread and post there to keep things on topic.
      Thanks, and hope that this helps!

  • @55, Thanks a lot, it on its way now to be downloaded. But here is something for sony to pay attention for this small usability issue. I think many people get confused like me…

  • I thought there was going to be another installment of the making of BC:R…

  • @55, thanks.

  • Worst update I’ve seen in a while.

  • Is there a new Eye Of Judgement Deck Pack? Or any new EOJ news? Thanks!

  • Home!!!!
    It’s all i’ve ever wanted!
    and its finally here!

  • Ugh. A week ago I had a wireless signal in my room I could use. Today, nothing. Not fair.

    Also, any update on PSN Cards? I’d like to give you guys my money, but you aren’t letting me do so.

  • while i don’t think its fair for us single episode downloaders to start later, if we already bought the single episode, then register for a subscription what happens then?

  • yeah what Willacuz said, and also some Echochrome news? I love that game

  • nevermind, got it working now. some reason it always became corrupt when i downloaded it through remote play. all good now

  • A question ive been reading over the net i hope you can answer.

    Do u need to buy the annual sub for Qore or can u just purchase the single episode to get into the R2 Beta?

    Thanks for the help. and once again great update.

  • I don’t see episode 3 of Qore in the Canadian Playstation Store. I’ve got the annual subscription. What kind of a treatment is this? First Canada doesn’t get the Video Store and now Qore?! Your loyal fans would highly appreciate an update on what’s happening, Sony.

  • At Noel again :P

    Man I just got this idea: why don’t you make the Disgaea anime available at the video store? ;) ;) ;)

    But please also make the video store available for us in Latin America too!!! :D ;)

    Thanx a lot :)

  • @noel can we get a final fantasy 7 theme and a god of war 3 theme.also i remember asking for live performance from rock band and other type.i also ask for a music store did does ideas go on dead end or will be getting theme at a later date? by doing a true music store it would sony ahead of all other systems stores. i would also like to stress to put home ahead of every one else what dont u get music labels to join in on home?let le know what happen witht he first to idea and let me know if u can pass the last idea to the makers of home!!!1

  • Downloaded the Playstation Home Theme & Installed it Good Luck to all that entered. I hope to see you in Home. :-)

  • Nice got my Qoore and Home theme downloaded =D

    Question: How do I access the “surprises” <_<

    Thanks! XD

  • I really hope, but will we be getting any xgames video? as much as sony contributes to it, it seems we ought too.

  • Oh wait disregard that, started pressing every button on my controller till I figured it out XD

  • Man I’m so excited about Home beta, I really hope I can go Home soon

    And at Noel yet again:

    I got another idea, though it may be more complicated but hey it’s still an idea, here goes:

    There are some shows from the video store that may be a little hard to find on hard copies there in the U.S, mostly anime for example, then I say why don’t you guys do this: once a full season of any of the shows from the video store becomes completely available at the Video Store, then maybe you can go and lunch that same season on blu-ray and let us purchase like any regular movie from regular retailers ?

    For example, let’s say that you start to put Xam’d: Lost Memories on the Store as you already did, then when the first season is available at the store, you take all the chapters, pack it on a blu-ray and make available to purchase? That will be very useful for us non-USA Americans to import some of your products in a perfectly legal way without having the need to open the Video Store for us

    thanx again bro :)

  • thank you thank you thank you

  • Hey Noel think we could get a copy of this background without the label in the bottom right hand corner about the beta expanding?

  • I’m pretty sure this is for the US PlayStation Store, hmm.

    Could you tell me if there’s also a European official PlayStation blog like this one? So I can view all the stuff that goes up on the EU store.

    Thanks.

  • Sounds like a good deal content with all of the heavy news thats been coming out recently.

    Not complaining or anything but I’d just love to hear a little more about Life with Playstation again.

  • @dappaute, there is, provided that you have a PSP! Remote Play! :)

    Anyway, this update is great mostly due to Qore and of COURSE the Home Beta news(!), and glad to hear that the Resistance 2 beta will also open to non-annual subscribers! I’ve bought every episode so far but haven’t yet paid for an annual subscription because that $25 has to go somewhere else right now… But $5 to fund my wallet is easy.

  • If I paid for my annual subscription last month, why Puerto Rico Users has not been granted the Quore of this month????

    Put it already!!!!! Please….. thank you.

  • can we post some news on singstar updates? anything about singstar would be nice nothing ever gets mentioned on this blog

  • @84, it’s in your download list

  • I read that the Home theme includes the BETA invitation, is this true?

  • lolll! The trailer about the last guy, is a joke or something? right? that was a funny video

  • Nice update. I got the Home theme and now downloading Quore 3.

  • @Noel Silvia

    I have a request for you. I downloaded SSHD demo via PS Store, and accidentally clicked on the “Trophy” icon while I was browsing on the in-game XMB (apparently it synchronized). Will you guys let us delete trophies when they’re only at 0%?

  • Is there a chance that the Last Guy song from the trailer will be available for download from the PSN store cause its awesome?

  • @59

    Having a PSN the longest doesn’t make you loyal, just means you had the money to purchase early on. Supporting PlayStation since the first console makes you loyal ;-).

  • I am happy to hear that the annual Qore subscribers will be given premiere access. Thank you for taking care of the annual subscribers Sony. I am glad that I signed up.

  • Nice update. I dig the Home Theme (except for the Trophy icon somehow). Got a question: is there any sort of interaction between PSP & Home?

  • Needs more PSX games. Really get on that it is money in your pockets. Start with your first party titles and move from there. Get on it.

  • Any other annual Qore subscribers not showing August Qore in their download list? :(

  • I guess Noel Silvia have left the building…

  • Thanks for the one that should had check my download list. I thought it was suppose to be on the top of the download list intead it was in the middle with the past Quore edition to download. Thanks for the heads up!!!

  • darn ….no demoes…….ahh well….the R2 beta and HOME really make up for that….and teh Talkman service seems real interesting

  • Cool, downloading.
