  • Wow, the PlayStation Store for PC continues to appear to be an afterthought to Sony. I’m disappointed that my purchase of a PSP doesn’t appear to be enough for Sony. Could a little more attention please be paid to the PSP, without the need of a PlayStation 3?

  • MotorStorm: Pacific Rift demo (scheduled to be available 9/11/08)

    Wow, I wish I read that before I bought Qore. Qore always has to fail in atleast one way every episode I suppose.

  • Thanks for the post Grace.

    Going to download my copy of Qore.

  • @49
    Expect life with playstation to debut December 2008 or later.

  • if failblog.org wasn’t taken already, it would be the best URL for this one.

  • I was really looking forward to this Qore episode, but there’s no Motorstorm PR demo. This update gets 1/5 star.

    @49

    Didn’t your hear? Life with Playstation will be release whenever! Who knows man? Besides you should be use to all the delays. I know I am by now. LOL this is totally rediculous

  • No amusement park for PAIN?

  • ok i guess i need some help i bought the Annual subscription to qore last month and when i turned on my PS3 its not automatically downloading the new episode am i doing something wrong??? and when i go into qore in the store i dont see the newest episode.

  • @47 Senior Manager doesn’t sounds like a low level employee to me. One person to handle one update in one week? Not efficient. If she’s handling this issue, at least she should be knowledgeable about the content that she’s presenting, at least a little knowledge. She can’t be there just to deal with the one update in one week.

  • wait? what?! Motorstorm demo next week for Qore members? check.

    Midnight Club Trailers, LBP info? check.

    NFL Head Coach? wtf? was there an announcement this would be availalbe via download? did you guys just sneak a whole game on the PSN?! did that just happen? wow. PSN FTW!

    great update. cool videos i can’t wait to check out. Motorstorm is good news. and LBP news is always welcome. :lol:

    great update.

    HEY…CAN WE GET BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT (animated 6 part dvd) ON THE PSN VIDEO STORE PLEASE? THANKS!

  • @55
    It’s not as good as rrod.com for the 360.

  • i know i know off subject but since we’re talking updates…

    HEY…CAN WE GET BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT (animated 6 part dvd) ON THE PSN VIDEO STORE PLEASE? THANKS!

  • We want custom avatars!
    We want custom avatars!
    We want custom avatars!
    >:(

  • OH! and the Pure demo. also excellent news!

  • @# 63

    ditto.

  • @59
    It’s just a title. But now that I think about it, Grace Chen is not a real person at all. It is just a variable in part of the program that runs this blog. Quite clever of the guys at SCEA to do this. So if you’re wondering why you will never get a response from Grace, the reason is that its A.I. hasn’t been sufficiently coded yet. If it ever is done, it will make a great experiment to see if people can actually tell that Grace is just an intelligence routine.

  • Someone at SCEA PLEASE listen to this!

    If you guys want Qore to sell well, the downloads need to be available IMMEDIATELY! I can’t download the Motorstorm Demo through Qore until next week? WTH? Also, Access to the SOCOM beta should have been in THIS episode, not three months ago! It’s ridiculous, it’s a joke, and that’s the biggest problem people have with Qore and why a lot of people won’t buy it.

    Deliver on what you advertise immediately. Don’t tell me to pay you for the episode and then make me wait a week, or a month, or THREE MONTHS to download the stuff I paid for in buying the episode.

  • @63
    Custom avatars won’t happen because of fears of objectionable avatars.

  • When will Wipeout get released?

  • I forgot to ask in my last post, i know its a little off topic but its about motorstorm 2..
    Will someone that is working on that game come soon on the blog to talk about it?
    and will we get a release date soon?
    Thanks

  • @58

    go to your download list, should be waiting for you there, it will say sep5ember instead of august

  • Where’s the Burnout Paradise Bikes Update?

  • Nothing interesting for me this update.

    Personally I like to see what other hidden secrets PS3 has to offer, other than HOME or LWP but I mean stuff like PS Eye.

    I liked the Playstation Eye softwares you released in the past, if there are more of those.

    Would love to have add-on for the Eye-Create software to do little bit more, and if its possible Youtube upload feature like how Eden does the 10minute recording.

    Another one, in the past I saw a video using PS eye and drawing paper where guy draws something on the paper and you can have PS eye load that into screen and use some type of physics engine to move the character to make small mini games.

    Once the official headset is released would like to see if you guys can come up with a software which integrates both camera and the headset voice features to do cool stuff.

    :D

  • @71
    IGN states a release date of 10.07.08

  • sony, i love this qore idea, sure the betas are like 2mnths or so away from an issue but as long as i get access i’m happy. little to no reading is a plus for qore. much better to experience games hands on and betas rather than reading about how good it is

  • Could you PLEASE allow us to store Qore on a flash drive, it is simply taking up too much HDD space when we have to hang on to multiple episodes because of the beta access. I know that we can delete them… but then we have to go through the long download process (again), and that’s provided we can even remember which beta is on which episode of Qore!

    alternatively, allow us to simply delete most of Qore while retaining the download options for betas or services that won’t be available for …. well, in the case of SOCOM, several months.

    Of course, the sensible thing to do would be to release ACTIVE betas with the current Qore editions so that we didn’t have to worry about old issues… but apparently that makes way too much sense.

    Anyway, I own a 60GB… but by the time you download a couple of PSN games to play, add a demos and a few vids… we quickly run out of room.

    Please provide some form of resolution to Qore. Frankly, we “bought” it… so I don’t see why we can’t store it on a flash or external HDD (and if you’re worried about piracy, maybe let us archive old issues, when the new issue is released).

  • Ok guys i know you are all anxious for more news on Life With Playstation and Home but seriously stop asking about it on posts unreleated to them. Its like every new post someone asks about them if Sony had anymore info on them they’d post it. So just sit tight and wait until they post something.

  • Hi everyone, once again it’s update day for all PS3 owners, and even though mine is currently in for repairs, I still have high hopes for the future of my PS3!

    I know i may sound like a broken record, but i really think the PS3 is reaching a critical point in it’s evolution…We’ve got XMB and the oppurtunity to have in-game soundtracks, a new video store, and of course trophies!!!

    All we really need now are just a few more things, and the PS3 will finally be all that it was promised to be!

    for instance-

    ~Keep fleshing out the online services, including private voice chat ingame, updating the PS3 browser so it can handle more file formats and surf the web without crashing, make developers have all future games use in-game soundtracks as an option, and a reworking of the prices/rental policy on the movie store is in order…other than that i am really impressed by how fast the store is!

    ~Our PSN profiles could use more space for us to indicate what games we own so people can better invite us, and maybe even some space for us to say what kind of music we like and stuff like that..I know we will have apartments in HOME but our profiles really need this customization!

    ~More music visualizations would really be great! For those of us that enjoy listening to music off our hard drives or streamed from our computers… I appreciate the ones we have, but some new ones are long overdue, me thinks!

    ~and one final note, i really think that before releasing any new PS3 SKU’s with larger hard drives, that you guys really consider bringing back Backwards Compatibility for all new PS3’s..bring back the actual PS2 emotion chip or fix the software emulation…it really IS a “buying point” that ALOT of people appreciate, and has kept many from choosing the PS3 when deciding what next-gen systems to buy, along with the higher price tag..

    so all that is do-able, i believe, and i know other people have ideas, too!

    the great thing about this blog is that it is a pipeline direct to developers and Sony execs, so if anyone has some great ideas, let em know!

    once again, thanks for listening PSBlog!!

    when i get my PS3 back (hopefully fully recovered) hit me up and let’s play some games and have some fun!

  • @75 Feature Preacher

    Ya but i dont want an IGN release date, i want the official one announce by Sony themself

  • The problem with Qore is it is devaluing the PSN. Why not give the owners of your $600 machine the Pacific Rift demo for free? Would that not make more people buy the game when it came out? You know, the more people try it, like it, and then buy it technique? Seriously, which clown thought of this money grabbing scam anyways?

    Only thing worthy this update is the Pure demo, and unfortunately the majority are missing out on the Paciic Rift demo for no good reason, as explained above.

  • @81
    The MotorStorm 2 demo will eventually be free. Hopefully before its retail release.

  • I( wont stop I will post this every Thursday guys, until we get some PS1 love

  • One thing I’m absolutely sure of, is to not re-subscribe to Qore. I still cant believe I paid $27 to watch Veronica host. The new girl is cool but she needs to work on her swagger more. She’s cute and knows how to dress. I’ll just buy the episodes that offers something special!

  • @MedHead

    Wow, the PlayStation Store for PC continues to appear to be an afterthought to Sony. I’m disappointed that my purchase of a PSP doesn’t appear to be enough for Sony. Could a little more attention please be paid to the PSP, without the need of a PlayStation 3?

    The sad thing is now they want you to purchase the newer model when the PSP’s library looks dismal.

  • @85

    i agree with her being cute n knowing how to dress

  • Qore’s always been available the first thursday of the month, so it has to be out today and they’re just letting us know in advance that the Motorstorm PR demo will be exclusive to Qore soon.

    It may not make much sense to some but oh well..

    This is a nice update for me, thanks!

  • @everyone complaining about delays.

    This is taken from this article:
    http://www.1up.com/do/feature?pager.offset=1&cId=3169608

    1UP: In terms of hardware, you know, one hardware that obviously isn’t just like a super powered PC is the very architecturally complex Playstation 3. And, do you think, in almost ironic fashion, that the PS3 and its complicated hardware has widened the gap between top-tier development teams and the smaller development teams with fewer resources? Meaning, do you think that the complexity of the hardware has actually made it harder for most medium-to-smaller Japanese development teams to keep to keep pace with, say, what western developers are doing on the Xbox 360?

    TI: First of all, I think that the PS3 was kind of an attempt by Kutaragi-san to create a uniquely Japanese computer to take on the Wintel standard. And I think that Kutaragi-san was very much a fighter pilot in the hardware realm just as I was a fighter pilot in the software realm, and in that sense I have a lot of respect for him. To me, having a fighter that’s easy to pilot and as powerful, makes it easy to win. And that’s my main goal, and that’s why I choose to pilot a 360. One more thing I would add to that is that I don’t think that developing for the PS3 is hard at all. It was much harder developing for the Famicom. Yeah, I mean, give someone who’s developing for the PS3 a Famicom and see if they can make a game for it. They won’t be able to. Yeah, that’ll prove it. We’ll bet a drink on it.

    So you only have Ken Kutaragi to blame for all the delays. If only he chose a less complicated architecture, then all of these projects could have been finished long ago.

  • @88

    Ok well how do you explain waiting 3 months for the SOCOM beta? It’s pretty simple. They wanted our money right now so they hoodwinked everyone.

  • cant get Qore :'(

    Bahrain dosent support visa card

    and there is no psn card

    :(

  • ok. seriously, WHAT THE [DELETED]???!! Are you guys two years old? Just be glad they give you anything at all every week. Unlike last year when we got two videos in an update…..

    Also, why the [DELETED] are you getting all [DELETED] up about a [DELETED] version of the [DELETED] weather channel? Get a [DELETED] life people…

  • @91
    Paying for a beta isn’t so bad. I pre-ordered MGS4 from GameStop to get into the MGO beta. You didn’t have to go through Qore to get into the SOCOM beta. You could have pre-ordered the game from GameStop to get in. The GameStop beta keys went live on 9.1.08. So the lesson is pre-order and avoid Qore beta invites.

  • @93
    Some people are getting upset with life with PlayStation and home delays because they hold up development on more useful stuff such as custom soundtracks for all games, cross-game invites, persistent voice(not video) chat, and multiple data album editing.

  • For some reason, I’m not getting Qore 4. I didn’t subscribe anually until Qore 3, so maybe that’s the problem? I’m only seeing Qore 1-3 on the Store, and nothing in my download list. Any hints?

  • Oh, nevermind I’m a tool. It just wasn’t up at the top of the download list.

  • As an FYI, I just purchased and downloaded the PAX Pack 1 for Rock Band. I am unable to play any of the songs. You may want to wait for this issue to be resolved before purchasing PAX Pack 1.

    For more information, there is this thread on the Rock Band forums:

  • More PS 1 Classics!! Like Crash Team Racing or Syphon Filter 2

  • Can anyone tell me when Jeopardy! will release? I’m really looking forward to this.
    Great update BTW. Lots of great content in Qore this month too.

  • aww, C’mon!
    NOBODY noticed JEOPARDY?!?!!

    I think that’s huge!
