  • I’m an annual Qore subscriber… and I finally found the July issue on my download list – but this is a VERY awkward spot for it! One has to scroll past all other downloads for the month looking for it and one also has to go looking for it as this is not an area one normally accesses and aside from this blog, there is really nothing to tell us when the next edition is released (and first Thursday of the month is fine to say… but delays are not uncommon with Sony!).

    Why can’t it just show up in the store under Qore and when we go to download – it shows as paid?

  • The only thing that I want is Trophies for one of my 24 PS3 games >_<;

  • L2!why not

  • @76

    there are bugs in fact and I’ve compiled some things after reading a thousand-some comments and going through and pushing 2.40 after download.

    THESE THINGS MUST BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY:

    -PS2 game freeze at [game]boot
    -Bluetooth headset output crash
    -Game crash when turning off bluetooth headset while in-game
    -improved exception handling

    These bugs I’ve found with the new additions:

    -I had an issue with the gamercard-whatever it-is where an added friend had a button permanently under their name “add friend”. When I tried adding them it said they were already a friend and their button remained

    Some suggestions:

    -Remove “manage accounts from PSN Menu because you can do it from the triangle menu in contact list. Change PSN menu to “Playstation Store” with [subdirectories] (if you will) “Browse Store” and “View Cart”. Also, unpurchased cart item should save upon cart exit. Then on a PS3 with no user accounts (newly purchased system) in the create user “wizard” add the ability to make a PSN accnt. (if no internet connection exists then users can select option to create PSN accnt. from the triangle menu with active user selected in “Users” menu.
    – make “Shutdown” a button IN the menu rather than the subdirectory OF a menu <-(actually not sure if this is POLITICALLY correct, however it’s the most sensible way to put it, I think).
    -remove chatroom completely, initiate chat inside the “friends” menu, this idea seems more logical when the cross game chat comes out, and since it’s only temporary until the release of home… (right?)
    – hide/toggle clock to prevent burn-in (excellent idea)
    -video playlists
    -XMB during BD playback
    – now that system sounds are introduced, a system sounds volume control which could also control the start-up sound (or not, whatever)
    – volume control overlay for games (much like the one accessible during video playback), or a simple volume control menu located within the black/white “Hold PS Button” menu.

    ..and some less practical additions that would be nice:

    -hard disk/usb/media card defragger
    -integrate custom avatars (what about gravatar?)

    finally I’d like to say…

    I suggest suspending developement of cross game chat until the current in-game bluetooth situation is remedied. Also, meditate everyday – stay on track.

    I’ll repost this and update it as well – depending on what changes and what you all think.

  • If I wanted to pay for demos I would have joined XBox Live. This is a stupid stunt. Instead of doing the whole timed release scheme you should offer something unique through the Qore service. Maybe it really doesn’t have anything to offer us in which case what’s the point of putting it on the market?

  • were the hell is rainbow six vegas 2 maps, they were advertized for this update

  • i want my g*d d*mm rainbow six vegas 2 maps

  • well technically the update isn’t…… done

  • Ubi Says:

    “We have encountered a problem with the Rainbow Six Vegas 2 DLC release for the PS3. Due to technical issues of unknown origin, the DLC will not be available for release until July 10th. Please stay tuned and we’ll update as soon as there is new information. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.”

  • Folding@Home makes me feel important :D

    Zemus101 – Add me to your friends list to compare trophies!

  • hmmm….they did not show anything in resistance2 but whatever is already on the net.

    i belive qore should have more content that what we got now

  • Still waiting for that battlefield & rainbow six maps.

  • I downloaded and watched the July issue and it was great. People….it’s 2.99 an issue…think about any other mag….they cost that much and more….Anyways…anyone who doesn’t like Core doesn’t have to purchase it, but I like it.

  • @173 (Chanskie)….go to the Playstation store on your PS3….at the top is your Download list. Go there and your July edition is in your download list…Sony just made it a bit easier to grab instead of having to get it from the store…it’s already in your download list.

  • Yeah, I like qore as well, i paid for the year subscription and I enjoy it. It obviously isn’t for everyone but then again nothing is these days.

  • Wasn’t there some secret game included?

  • yeah, if you press L2 at the main menu it brings you to a game. kinda like pong.

  • Apologize for the Core/Qore error in my previous post. Bit tired after playing so late on Super Stardust after the 2.40 download. My finger actually has a blister on it !
    I just hope once the update is back up, these people that didn’t get it realize that it’s only for Super Stardust HD currently (in game music and trophies)….some developers have stated that they won’t be updating the games already out, only future games and it’s the developers, not Sony that are saying this.
    Just want to make sure these guys that are waiting patiently realize every game you have will NOT have trophies/in game music you can select from your HDD. (apparently some people didn’t read the blog that went out stating what it does contain)…but remember, there are future updates and each one can add more features….
    I’ve only had my PS3 since last November, but can’t believe how far it has come…
    2008 is a great year so far…thanks Sony !

  • I would like to see more themes.

  • If I bought the June episode seperate, would I get money off the annual subscription if I buy it now?

    -Thanks in advance for a reply.

  • July issue of Qore, was definantley worth it. Lots of Resistance 2 stuff as well as a cool ’20 years of Madden’ section.

  • Is qore ever gonna be available for us eu psn store people?!?!?

  • Qore = SCEA

    Nothing = SCEE

    Take it up with SCEE, no one here can give you a definite answer for your region.

  • i know, but thought ask here as scee have no blogs :(. Us europe users get nothing like the us/japan store updates, they really need to sort out the europe store.

  • Kind of sad that the second episode of Qore was another disappointment. If anyone wants, check out my thread with all of my feelings in it:

  • When will the SSHD patch be back up? I didn’t have a chance to DL it. :(

  • Thanks Jeff.Do you Know when the DC area will get PSN cards so I can download this content.Thanks again.

  • yeah cool but when are we going to have the psn cards here in north america, we really need them guys if you want us to buy stuff online, i dont have a credit card account come on even microsoft has them here in the United States. Or did you forget about us??

  • @204
    like stated by many no one is forcing you to buy Qore
    the demo will be free next week
    all what Qore has to offer is the exclusive things inside of it, wich will probally make there way on youtube (unless sony does what most other places are doing and making it violation of something)

  • Hey ERIC, NOEL, JEFF, could those with the SV/2.4 at least get the firmware update for stardust HD………?

  • Hi,

    I was going through the playstation store and thought i’d give some feedback. I would really like to see the functionality or sorting within the sections of the store. Such as if I go into “Video’s” and like sort is by “Date Added” , etc. It would greatly improve the user experience. I’m appalled such simple functionality commonly found on many user-freindly sites/stores, etc is not available on the Playstation store.

    Thanks,
    Slick

  • Hi Grace, thanks for the great update. I was wondering if there was any info yet on when the team expansion pack will be available again for SSHD? Thanks for your time.

  • Awesome update. Any new info/footage of R2 and Killzone is pure gold.

  • @219

    You would not get a discount. Your yearly subscription will start from July 2008-July 2009. You get 13 issues total. It is just like a regular magazine from a news stand. If you buy their june issue at the store, you are not going to get a discount for the rest of the subscription.

    Hope this helps.

  • Hey Grace, a quick request. Could you place Qore on a different place for annual subscribers? It would be really hard to find it for people that don’t visit the blog.

  • I wish Qore was more about games and less about that host. I subscribed to it because I’d like to watch exclusive clips of games/interviews with game developers, not for a giggly girl trying to act cute.

  • #234:

    I tend to agree on that front. When the file size is close to 2GB, do we really need 25% of that dedicated to what looks like home-videos of a girl acting ridiculous?

    That Madden Intro was absolutely unwatchable. And served as nothing other than filler.

    SONY listen up:

    We paid for content. Exclusive gaming content. Not silly skits and lame antics from a shoddy actress.

  • if i bought pixel junk monsters encore and do not have the base game can i still play it?

  • To Jeff Rubenstein,
    theres a full theme XML creation guide here : http://forums.qj.net/showthread.php?t=131646 that is updated for 2.40, has all the tools and stuff needed to make a FULL 2.40 theme, with sounds too!

  • Jeff, theres a FULL 2.40 xml guide here, even has the tools/info to add custom sound.
    forums.qj.net/showthread.php?t=131646

  • @199

    You can watch it on youtube.

  • Qore should be free if u want everyone to know about your products.

  • I purchased June and July Qore issues. I now wish to get an Annual Subscription. I see no place to do that now. Should there/Is there a digital subscription card in the magazine somewhere? I had the option when I first purchased but wanted to see what it was like before I did the annual thing. I like it but now I can’t see how to do this. Please Help!

  • guys, subscribers to Qore just get the demo early! the demo is gonna be up and running on july 17th on PS store. its only an early look at it for subscribers to Qore.

    and honestly, each episode $3. pocket change.

  • im an annual subscriber to qore so far not at all imperessed almost think it wasnt worth the money next issue will have to really open my eyes the last issue july i think i had already seen every thing they had in there and this is exclusive stuff well its not. even the movie trailer damn thats on tv for crying out loud its insane please dont disapoint us again

  • @236

    No…

  • You know what’d be funny? if Sony says something along the lines of “we were wrong about being free we need your help we need your money to provide better service”

    I’d like to see how many complainers leave PS3 (close to none I bet) and I’d like to see how many people are gonna be stubborn until they up the content on what seems to be an EXPERIMENTAL video mag.

    If you like it good for you. If you don’t STFU and GTFO unless you provide suggestion in a proper format rather than just saying “QORE SUX ITS A RIP OFF!”

    EH…if that were to happen they’d find something else to complain about.

    Build a damn PC if you want all those custom features.

    1 grand will get you a crysis/anything multiplatform out there ready computer if you know what you’re doing.

    and no one can say 1 grand is alot these days if gas is almost 5 bucks a gallon

    just because it requires saving money on the side if you aren’t rich doesn’t mean it’s impossible

  • Is it possible to get more downloadable games that actually have a fun factor.How about some oldschool PS1 Games. Plus, why didnt we get to play the beta version of Street fighter like The XBOX ppl. Is it possible to atleast get street fighter on PSN. How about some movie downloads instead of previews maybe some music and or something….Im a sony fan $4sure, but you guys make me look like POO infront of my Other freinds which all have XBOX.. C’mon guys, I need some some kind of ammo of pride to fire back at them.

  • can u guys at the playstation site throw a final fantasy n the playstation store?? sheesh i know everyone would appriciate it. seriously plszzz!!! or sum kind of rpg because i know every1 finished wild arms about 30 times =D
