    I picture Sony, sitting in their giant skull-shaped fortress of doom, wringing their hands and saying "BLAST! Our latest plan to dupe VaLiantine has yet again failed!"

    Alas, with that, Sony threw down its cards and said "Fuck it, we're out of this game."

    The day would be remembered as a dark one; "if only VaLiantine had subscribed to Qore," some said, "the PlayStation 3 could have been saved."

    I'm pretty sure it's meant to sound like "Core" as in "Hardcore" or "Core of the Earth". If this were the 90s, I'm sure they would have spelled it Kore.

    "Core" I think. I assume, anyway.

    Or "kwore" which just makes "Qwhore" even funnier.

    Dude, I was purging my buddy list after 3 years of neglect like a month ago and his name was in there. Haven't seen him in a while.

    Also, paying for demos is dumb and entirely against the point of demos.

    It's supposed to be on the US store today, and the update doesn't usually happen until later in the day. When it does hit, I'm going to be taking the plunge and checking it out, so I'll post some impressions.

    I'm fully expecting mediocrity, but I never played Calling All Cars and between that and the Socom beta, it's worth taking the plunge to me.

    Wait, we get the Socom beta from this issue? Hey, if that's the case, I may have to give it a try then.

    Haha, well it's just three fucking dollars. OH NOES MY PAYCHECKS. It's not like I'm going to buy every issue or a year subscription. You can buy individual issues, after all. It won't hurt to just check it out.

    Besides, it's not all that different from the countless people who sign up for Fileplanet to get exclusive shit, as stupid as that is. I know I did that for the Crysis beta, although for that I had to buy a big subscription. Maybe once it's out later in the day we can actually talk about how it actually is instead of how angry non-PS3 owners are about an e-magazine.

    I thought it was if you took out the $25 subscription that you got Calling All Cars.

    Yeah, I think you need the 13 issue subscription for Calling All Cars, but I'm interested in the SOCOM beta, and it's possible you only need to get this issue for it.

    I'm pretty sure that both the beta and Calling All Cars are tied to the yearly subscription.

    From re-reading the press release, it looks like the beta is indeed tied to the inaugural episode.

    Not too shabby.

    Yes that looks to be the case. A quick scouring of the internet shows other places reporting this as well. Though, there seems to be no clear start date for the beta, but buying Ep 1 of Qore gets you an invite.

    Edit for Q. Man.

    I like how people keep describing a singular item when describing the cost of Qore. "Three dollars for a beta?" "Three dollars for a demo?" You know, there's gonna' be more in it than just a SOCOM beta. Exclusive Demos, betas, interviews, videos, mini-games, etc, are suppose to be apart of Qore. There are no specifics of what will exactly be in this issue, but it's more than just a beta invite. I don't mind spending three dollars to find out how Qore will be. I believe there's going to be a six minute exclusive video of The Incredible Hulk, as well.

    And let's not forget $3 to ogle Veronica Belmont. Of course, Tekzilla is free but it doesn't come with a Socom beta.

    See the thing is, Dashui, the beta alone is worth my $3.

    Everything else that comes with it is a bonus.

    If the SOCOM beta was just sold on the online store, I would buy it. However, I don't think I would buy this issue of Quore without it.

    So, bonus stuff!

    No way, while I'm not too keen on the whole idea of Quore, I can see myself buying an issue or two for the supplemental beta invites and super-exclusive demos.

    While I do believe the demos should all be free, I'm not the kind of guy who will not buy a product out of spite.
