Again, we’ll update you here as soon as the Store goes live.
QORE sounds interesting. I hope it’ll become available on the EU store as well (and not just in the UK, but the Dutch store as well ;p).
Ok it’s 8:30 on the east coast and the update still isn’t here….
@ Zola
The Betas and some videos that weren’t released for PSN/XBL Market place, but to some other places (like IGN Insider) will be there. Do you hate IGN Insider, or Gamespots variation? And if you pay for XBL just to play online, why are you complaining about a service not made from Sony, only allowed on their store to give consumers advance notice, products, and services for half the yearly subscription?
@143 SolidSnake500
thanks man!
A little respect goes a long way!
:)
and with that, the last ray of hope of a civilized discussion has faded, time to play some GTAIV!
I’m disappointed in you, PSBlog members.
Calling people names for disagreeing with you is no way for a community to prosper.
– Qore is not a part of PSN, Qore is a product available on PSN
– Qore isn’t changing the way PSN works. It’s specially not a change to the pricing method
– Demos are still and will continue to be free.
– If Qore gets an exclusive demo or beta it is no different then a magazine getting an exclusive demo or Gamespot getting a exclusive beta. You are not paying for “demos” you are paying for Qore, what content comes with it is irrelevant to PSN. If they managed a deal with the company to get the demo exclusively then tough luck, it’s no different then what’s happening already.
– No one is forcing you to pay anything.
– You pay for Qore as you pay for any other product on PSN, obviously.
So, to sum it up, Qore is just a Virtual Magazine, a product available on PSN, and it obviously isn’t free.
time to start a pool perhaps. when will the update occur
@Clover09
The retro theme has been on the EU store for ages, just reg a euro account and grab it from there
Hey Jeff, would it be possible to add a feature to the blog. So we can see whether or not someone important replied to a certain post, so we don’t have to scroll through all these comment pages?
Great update, alot better then the last 2 weeks.
Lmao, so many people freaking out over Qore and that 2.99$ tag. Unbelievable.
@151 | thedude185
Beta for people that bought Qore starts in July 2nd if I’m not mistaken.
110, my 360 gets far more use than my PS3, so it is worth the $50 for 13 months. I’d be happy to pay Sony too if SCEA would have the level of competence as Sony Japan or Sony Europe has. If buying Qore would get SCEA to pay attention to its potential customers, those wanting to throw money at them for digital products that their counterparts across the oceans can do, then it might be worth it.
i see the nameless facepalmed person still won’t get it. albeit i am surprized you know what baka means. or you don’t and i am mistaken. exclusive is a word used to describe many things. if in the following weeks the content of qore, ie demos, are made available, so be it. the point is, qore members get them first. exclusive rights to the content before the leech..err, free users get it. but alas, i will take some sage advice i READ in this very blog, explaining things to you is quite like kicking a steel post, bashing my head against a brick wall, or waiting for duke nukem forever. pointless. also, being one that has also induced insults apon others, regardless of defencive or offencive, makes you no better to speak ill of others doing it. remember this, you are nothing to me and i am nothing to you. doesn’t bother me in the slightest, how about yourself?
@ Zola
You’ve done well to ignore the facts placed before you by more than a few posters here. And then in fact, stated a bold claim about Sony wanting to see how stupid we were for being interested in the service. If you want moronic statements, how about this. I can only assume and feel that I am correct in my assumption that you have GTA for the 360. Have fun playing it, and waiting awhole lot longer for your “DLC”. Pay for your ability to play online on a P2P system, and shell out even more money for themes and the like.
Can’t wait for PSN integration to get rid of people like you.
how much more longer?
“Can’t wait for PSN integration to get rid of people like you.”
QFT. This needs to be done ASAP … there are a lot of non-PS3 owners trolling this blog all the time.
@150 I’ve watched that video and it was called Prizefight: PS3 vs 360 and she wasn’t bashing it at all. She gave the 360 a score of 23 with the PS3 three points behind but that was a year ago. I’m sure if she was to do another Prizefight they’d be tied or the PS3 would win.
Any update on this actually being put into the store…I really wanted to play the GoW and distrubed tracks before the lakers game started, which is in 10 minutes now…
Anyone?
I don’t know what to do… I’ll probably try Qore like everyone else is mentioning and then buy the annual one next month.
Nice job guys, you really redeemed yourself in my eyes from the past two weeks. Demos and games! Nice! I’m a little skeptical about the “digital magazine,” but I’ll give it a try. If I don’t like it it’s not like I’m forced to buy it again next week, right?
gAAH!
love it, but the updates aren’t up yet! gRRR!
great job, but i hope Qore doesn’t take out all the demos later on
Whats up with the PSN, where are the downloads for tonight? Remember gamers you have the option to either pay or not pay for Qore services so stop bickering. You still gonna have other free media services to connect on the net. Hopefully Home will be reasonable.
i do hope the store gets updated tonite soon. it’s almost my bed time. darn 6am starting time. if only money, or psn cards, grew on trees. then i wouldn’t have togo to be so early and be forced to wait another long work day to spend my monies on psn warez.
Hopefully the Store gets updated tonight as I was hoping to watch the NBA Finals whiling downloading some content.
Is the store updated yet?
Dude, seriously, let me tell you everything I’ve done since this post has gone up in wait for the Store to update:
1) Played a little CoD4 multiplayer.
2) Studied for my Physics and Calculus exams coming up tomorrow.
3) Listened to an episode of the 1UP Yours podcast.
4) Downloaded the Battlefield: Bad Company demo from the EU PSN Store.
5) Messaged some friends on Facebook.
Now I’m about to try out the Battlefield demo.
SERIOUSLY? Let’s go, man. I’m bored. There’s plenty of stuff I could do, but I’d really like to download some stuff TODAY so I won’t have to worry about coming back later.
I’m BORED!!!
Boo-urns.
Hey guys. Is todays PSN Store update available on your PS3 already? It’s still not showing up on my PS3 (NA). I wanted to download the first episode of the Qore to see if it’s worth it.
Awesome update. will check it as soon as I have a chance…
BTW, I saw a post on the progress of the PS3 on threespeech.com and thought I’d shared it. It linked to http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/playstation-3-blu-ray.ars
hopefully the store update will happen as i start my download of naruto shippuden episode 62, which is NOW.
WTH SONY wut the heck is going on? I guess dood things come to those who Wait and wait and wait and wait some more
Sony should allow us to have the ability to download podcasts. We could use iTunes but Apple would have to agree to it. There are a tone of other software out there that allows PC users to get podcasts, Sony must can utilize or even develop one for the powerful PS3, or even an internet radio plugn from Winamp. Anyway still waiting on the store update to arrive.
I wonder how Sony is going to stop Qore content from being uploaded to youtube.
Huge update.
Shame I have no PS3 at the moment :( I wanted Qore as well as Commando 3.
For some reason, I am not seeing ANY of these updates on my PS Store today???? Anyone else?
What is wrong Sony? Where are the updates ?????????????????????????????
Clinton??? What happened?
Great update.. Keep up the good work.
Nice to see a huge update. Although no PS1 games again. Does anyone else find it weird, that sony is asking us to pay for advertisements? That’s basically what qore is, we pay for them to advertise their games to us.
WHERE ARE THE PLAYSTATION CARDS?
Sony you guys better get ready for those servers of yours to get boggged down cause we all are waiting. lol
This is cool for me because I’m also getting a free game with Qore annual subscription.
“In addition, for a limited time, annual subscribers also receive free the PlayStation Network game Calling All Cars.”
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nf/20080604/tc_nf/60125
so when is the PS store going to be updated, Is it me or when Sony says that the update will be on the 5th that it should be on the fifth? It would be nice that loyal Sony supporters would not be jerked around.
What the hell is this I still don’t have my store update yet, what gives Sony?
Nice update! good job!
Be patient.
@ Frito
Please read all of his comments regarding this statement. You’ll notice he ignored the facts, continued to bash it as a stupid method for Sony to get more money out of us, and that people who gave in to it were stupid. He stopped to name calling and refused to cast a stone at himself. When you’ve read his comments, you’ll see that he is nothing but a troll who just wanted to stir up trouble. Overly righteous? No. I just get annoyed when facts are presented to someone who seemed to only want questions answered at first, but instead decides to ignore said answers and resort to name calling, relating services, and thinking that he is above all else. That’s all.
Wow, congratulations sony, great job on this awesome update (/end sarcasm) What the @^#! is wrong with you #@$!ing morons? How the !$@% do you screw up a simple update like this? How can this be such a total failure that everyone is stuck waiting an extra 4-5 hours to get content that should be ready to be released yesterday? This is @#%!ing ridiculous, I’m losing respect for sony with each passing minute because of this.
I want the Civ demo and GH 3 track. I DLed the GH 3 one from the UK store earlier with the Bad Company demo but it didn’t work.
We went from having “killer videos” we could get in Hd from Gametrailers to not having anything at all. You’re awesome, Sony. Like the crying wrestling fan. What is this? No Psone games, ever! I mean, I look at the Japanese Psstore and it’s killer with almost all the top notch ps1 games. I look at ours here in the us and we have Jetmoto and Tekken 2 and hot shots golf 2, which are awesome games but man… We have tekken 5 DA for Ps3, why would we get Tekken 2? We have hotshots 5 for Ps3, what would we want with 2?
Get on the ball Sony.
get it up there. it’s after nine in baltimore and i want my battlefield:BC. my GF thinks i’m crazy.
so when is the store getting updated?
@frito
why are you getting involved? does it matter to you? is he a friend of yours? are you him on another account. do i really care that much? btw, the answer to the last question is, no.

Do I hear a boycott coming on? Sony needs to think about its customers, I know Microsoft cares about its supporters. I hope Home does not have this same problem.
