I like Qore. It's a neat way to get an inside look at some Sony-made games and products. I like how it's all interactive and in high-definition, and I love how it's hosted by the adorable geek princess Veronica Belmont.
I actually only have three complaints about Qore:
Veronica won't call me back
You can't fast-forward or rewind footage
It's not free
Well, we can knock one of those complaints out this week, as episode 7 of Qore is free for the taking on the PlayStation Store. Sony is calling it a holiday gift. Thanks. But a real gift would resolve issue number one.
Here's some of what you can expect in Qore 7:
An inside look at EA's Skate 2, the follow-up to the game that redefined the boarding genre
A Capcom office visit
A crash course on "Steam Punk" sub-culture through a preview of post-modern shooter, Damnation

I dig Qore. And I don't actually mind paying for it, as the price is about the same as a movie rental. Anyway, this is cool, glad the people who don't want to fork over the dough will get to check it out.
I'm guessing Qore isn't selling well - so Sony figures they may be able to raise awareness and maybe get a few subscriptions out of it if they give away an episode for free. Should have done this with the first episode - and the other that have followed. LOL
I know. What with newspapers, magazines, satelite tv - I even pay to use the internet. At least PSN is free, right. :) That and Steam - although both have advertisements.
