Qore: An Offense Against Our Intelligence

Console Monster takes a look into Qore.

"Earlier in the week, I reported on a new initiative that Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) was rolling out called Qore. For those of you who are unaware, SCEA bills the service as a "highly interactive, monthly lifestyle gaming program covering theworld inside PLAYSTATION."

So what does that mean to you, exactly? The service offers exclusive video previews of upcoming titles, exclusive access to betas, and exclusive additional content. This sounds great, doesn't it? It would be great - if it were free. Yes, this service will cost you $2.99 a month, or you can buy an annual subscription to the service for $24.99.

While writing the news piece that detailed the upcoming service, I had to bite my tongue on my initial impressions. After all, Qore had not launched yet, and I hadn't seen the service for myself at that point.

That's all changed. Qore launched this Thursday, (after some fanfare with technical issues delaying the launch well into the night) and I have had a chance to review the content that you are being offered for your $2.99. Surprisingly, Qore hasn't managed to surpass my already cynical expectations."
