Quo..., Qoue, Coocoo...

The Qore

Sony announced an interesting project, interesting for me at least. It’s called Quo, Quor… I’m sorry, the name is too strange for me.
Anyway, this… thing is a kind of a monthly digital, online magazine. You’ll get interviews, movies, images and information about upcoming titles. Hell, you might even get a beta key for some games. Sony promises that about 90% of the content will be exclusive. Seems like an excellent idea to me.

The catch? Of course there is a catch, even two. First one, the service will be paid. If you pay monthly you’ll have to say bye-bye to about $3. If you care for an annual subscription you’ll have to pay about $25. Not a bad price if you ask me. Oh, and if you’ll get the annual subscription you’ll get a free PSN game (Calling All Cars).
The second catch? Even though it’s not a free service you will be exposed to commercials. This one is a bit strange. I wouldn’t mind if the commercials would be skippable, but it seems they are not. Oh well, can’t have it all.

But hey, I’ll try anything once.

A side not to Sony.
However you would stretch the rules of English pronunciation it’s simply impossible to say Qore the same way as Core. Am I niggling? Sure am.
