Speaking of Qore… The September issue of PlayStation: The Official Magazine arrived in the mail last week (and I imagine is on retail newsstands by now as well), and while thumbing back through it I just noticed on the back side of the very last page a voucher code to download the first episode in Sony’s new interactive PSN program, which features access to the SOCOM: Confrontation beta as its main perk. So if you picked up the magazine yourself and like me didn’t notice it on the first read, flip to the last page and get your voucher code.
It’ll be interesting to see if this becomes an ongoing promotion. As a long-time PlayStation: The Official Magazine (formerly PSM) subscriber with another 2-3 years worth of sub time already paid for, I don’t see the need to pay more to get Qore. I think it’d be a smart move for Sony and Future US to somehow tie Qore access in with magazine subscriptions. It’d basically be the evolution of the pack-in demo that once came with the now-defunct OPM.
