Is there any chance that No Gravity will come out on the US PSN servers.
I know it is listed for the Europe servers and was just wondering if there was any chance people in the US will get to play it on ther PSPs too.
102
d3adliner | August 7th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Gah! No demos whatsoever!?!? Oh well, thanks for the Home theme and chance to get in on the beta.
Is there any reason why North America doesn’t get any good PS1 games? What about the Resident Evil series? Parasite Eve? FFVII? Legacy of Kain? Soul Reaver? Silent Hill?
I would think that it’s quite obvious, that a ton of $$$ would be made by offering some great PS1 titles.
103
Low- | August 7th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
I’m Qore Annual Subscriber as well and do not have a clue as to how to get the new episode.
104
Low- | August 7th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
Problem solved, If you have the annual subscription, go into your ‘view downloads’ list within the store.
Qore has a lot of work yet.
105
xaos | August 7th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
@103/Low-, earlier I didn’t have it in my download list, but no idea; scroll down to the time frame where you purchased your subscription and it should show up somewhere around there with the other issues. It’s a weird way for it to work, though, obviously confusing to us users (hint, hint :) )
106
TypeF | August 7th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
why don’t i see my 3rd episode of Qore? Help please
107
Low- | August 7th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Read Right above your post. = )
108
xBlackxBlood | August 7th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
ok, so i Just bought the Annual subscription, just so i can play the Beta for R2, but um, it says in the download area that i should wait… now i understand that i will be receiving some kind of Email? of some sort… i’d like to to what inbox, my email i use the PS store… or my user inbox for the PSN, and what is the premier status thing all about? what is it? where do i find it? I’m so new to this… i bet by now you’re thinking that person’s either a nagging house wife who knows how to game, or an annoying little kid. Sorry, i just want some help…
109
TypeF | August 7th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
I cant find it on my view downloads. I know you have to find it there to download it because i did it the last 2 month. This time i don’t see August? I’m also an Annual customer >_<
110
TypeF | August 7th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
Nevermind my post >_< I’m blind lol heh
111
Durelle | August 7th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
I am an annual user for Qure but I cant find the newest episode to download it in the store.
112
TypeF | August 7th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
@111
Go to view downloads on the ps store and go all the way down near where you got your first subscription and it should be down there some where. They need to fix the Qore issues problem >_< is hard to find
113
TheVesra | August 7th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
qore 3 sucks, bigtime sucks. sucks so bad it blows, it sucks at sucking. after feeling it was money well spent since 1 and 2, i feel ripped off by 3. don’t waste your time or money buying the 3rd issue unless you want to pay for the rfom2 beta. thats all you’ll get.
what the heck, i typed a comment and got some dumb error message saying i’m entering comments to fast? if it’s my first comment in weeks, hows that possible.
114
findaway | August 7th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
The new Qore issue was almost at the top of my downloads thankfully.
No 1942 demo this week again.. i was told it would be there, oh well.. i’ll get the full game soon.
Thanks for the update.
115
TheRocker | August 7th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
Is it true you need the annual subscription to qore to be able to receive the upcoming R2 beta?
If so I am deeply disappointed I wasted 2.99 I could had used to get 2 RockBand tracks..
116
dogfoodgangster2 | August 7th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
uhhhhh……Where is Life With Playstation.
I was actually looking forward to this. I really expected it to come out this week.
Especially after the delay.
:(
117
norriswolfwood | August 7th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
another sad update, nothing worth downloading at all.

Any info on Life with Playstation?

Pretty sweet deal this week. Hopefully, I’ll be able to participate in the Home Beta.
122
Killer_Paul | August 7th, 2008 at 6:11 pm
will Qore be coming to Europe ?
123
hott60 | August 7th, 2008 at 6:23 pm
i tried to download the theme and it download but when i tried to check out the theme it said corrupted data, and it wont show anything it just goes back to the original theme am i still registered for the beta
124
hott60 | August 7th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
im wondering if it has to do that im in canada its not working properly because my friends in the us own is working i even deleted it and try re installing it and the same problem comes up
125
telesido | August 7th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
sony, this is extremely inconvienent.
my situation that is.
i download qore 3 while ur blog said “puchase of qore 3″ blah blah.. but then later it was crossed out.
i purchased it hoping to get the resistance 2 beta. but now it seems i have to purchase the anual subsciption to get it, so i wasted money and a longggg download and install time on qore ep3.
don’t change your mind after the product is already on sale. if possible. i’d like a refund.
126
Sharky5 | August 7th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
hey guys, i have the annual Qore episode 1…how do i get episodes 2 & 3, i thought with the annual subscription, that 2& 3 would be automatic
127
ryan69969 | August 7th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
Cheers:
Home Theme: gives the optical impression that my PS3 is actually running a cool, moderern, useful UI…rather than the alpha-feeling XMB.
The Last Guy featurette: cannot be explained. Must see it for yourself.
Dead Space Comic 4: could have benefitted from a slightly more sophisticated animation style, but still good.
Jeers:
No BC Rearmed content.
Personally, I would appreciate knowing more about what’s happening with Wipeout HD. Is it coming? When? Will in come in two versions: Original Wipeout and Seizure-free Wipeout?
128
ryan69969 | August 7th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
I meant “modern”
129
AranhaHunter | August 7th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
What a crappy update, save for the lottery to get into Home Beta, there’s really nothing worth a damn. Where are my PSOne Classics Sony? I swear I’m about to CFW my PSP so that I can play PSX games on it.
130
scorpio | August 7th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
Thanks for the update…
131
Xenophon | August 7th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
The home stuff is cool, but my focus went straight to rock band. The prices for the songs, fair enough, but only if they’re master tracks. I couldn’t bring myself to purchase a cover, especially after what I heard in some of the Guitar Hero games (no one should ever do a cover of Rage Against the Machine except for Richard Cheese). Will these be the original songs by the bands, or covers?
132
Devils1stBorn | August 7th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
I just come here to hear the knuckleheads call these store updates “epic”…or “great”…or some fanciful blurt like that…;)
This is, on a scale from “meh” too “WOW!…a “meh”…
133
Jenovah | August 7th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
Pretty disappointed in this months Qore. I wanna see more of the AAA blockbusters, and frankly DC looks like it has a long way to go.
134
Zebax LE | August 7th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
COOL, now that Sony will turn heads to Latin America, HOME will be an EXCELLENT way to contact people and play on PSN with them.
greetings from Argentina.
135
Jugglz | August 7th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
okay. So i bought an annual subscription today. And i am currently Dl episode 3. i want to put episode 1 & 2 on the list too. I go in the store to find them and it says i have to buy those episode to dl them. and i checked my dl list and those episodes arent there. Where do i go to get them?
136
ceros | August 7th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
There should be a “Redownload” option when you click on stuff you already purchased, especially for the Qore stuff. It’s annoying having to go through your past downloads just to look for the month’s Qore download.
137
rahstar2003 | August 7th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
How come all the options to download a movie are not available for every movie. For instance: Some are only for rent, some only for buy, some only in sd, some only in hd. Every movie should have every option available. Also why is there not more sony support from other branches, like sony music and sony movies!
138
CowboyDan | August 7th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
So, that “The Last Guy” video. Very funny, but there is actually a real Hindustan Electronics Co. (the “developer” of the game). Strange.

139
Jugglz | August 7th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
hm nope no redownload option…i never downloaded them in the first place…
140
Zemus101 | August 7th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
Hey, not a bad update at all! Absolutely love the new GH3 stuff, for me it’s one of the best GH3 updates yet! Umm.. I don’t mind in the least bit that it’s demoless, I still have plenty to do in Eden, and Uncharted just got those trophies, so I need to pick that up, but it’s greatest hits soon right? I still see it for like $59.99 at my local stores so i’m waiting for it to drop before I nab it.
141
Marcoco11 | August 7th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
I know that u guys snuck the socom closed beta in with this store update!
Im expecting an invite friday or monday
142
TECNAUTA | August 7th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
Just a question…

Tkz!

Hi omarkh92,
To opt back in to receive emails, simply go to XMB and select Account Management, and Account Management again, select “Update Notification Preferences” and update your settings.
Simple as that.

TheVesra | August 7th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
@Juggz,
think of it like buying a magazine. your subscription should start from 3 and go on for 12 more issues. if you want 1 and 2 you’ll most likely have to buy them seperately.
@TEC
yes, from issue 3 on you should be fine with whatever subscribers get, just like me and all the other yearly subs. :) now only if they can deliver more and better content. hope issue 4 will be as good if not better than 2.
148
TheVesra | August 7th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
@omark
i always get the emails a day late, sometimes even later. also, check your spam filter to make sure they aren’t being rerouted to the spam folder or deleted strait away.
