Sony Announces "Qore" Playstation Bundle
Sony Computer Entertainment America has announced a new subscription-based, multimedia, Playstation bundle that promises to feature developer interviews, game previews, demos, betas, and add-ons all delivered in high definition. Supposedly hitting the streets on June 5th, "Qore," seems an awful lot like paying to get more advertising. Hopefully the playable gems make this (admittedly cheap) service worth it.
At first I thought the summary was lacking, but there isn't even a mention of "PS3" anywhere in the article either. I take it this isn't limited to the ps3?
If you can read this, I forgot to post anonymously.
TFA says that you get "Calling All Cars" for free with an annual subscription. I can't tell how much that costs in a quick search, but TFA also talks about added content for other games. Stating the obvious: If you play the games the issues have addons for, it could be worth it.
Looking around the playstation network, I saw 70 games available for download for the PS3. I have no idea if that compares to the Wii's download library, but it does exist.
(BTW, I own neither a PS3 nor a Wii.)
You can actually download Symphony of the Night and Wild Arms on the Playstation Network. The games work on either the PS3 or PSP.
Lots of places stopped taking preorders on consoles, after the XBox 360 and Wii fiascos. Amazon apparently is one of them. Dunno why those other companies think they can get away with selling those for $400 over retail.
