Man, I'm glad I know not to get this well in advance. thanks for the heads up. Oh and don't download the pain patch. Everyone is complaining about it bricking systems over on the blog I'm glad I never got the game but I feel bad for those mgs4 bundle owners.

[cp68]

where do you see it? i don't see no proof on your link

[AznSniper]

I second that. If you have the email then screencap it and block out the stuff you don't want us to see.

[beast]

If you are a PSN underground member then check your email

EDIT... Screen capture http://i191.photobucket.com...

[rroded]

hope it has online too :D

looks like another great ep lets just hope they stop the forced ads and give us even more content :D

[Marceles]

...Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm. I'm not a Naruto fan, I've only watched one episode, but I definitely want to try this out...the graphics are already unreal.

[spectyre]

I am an Underground member, a GAP member, and I subsribed to Quore for the year. Checked my email... I got nothing.

[Wolfmoonstrike]

I got the email too so the dude's not lieing. If that's what you're worried about.

[INehalemEXI]

Naruto UNS Demo would be great the NUNS debut trailer made me want to experience the gameplay. Im not a fanatic of Naruto but I do enjoy the anime.

[rroded]

thx 1.4

naruto ninja storm! From what ive seen the game looks even better than the anime now i guess we'll get to see if they really deliver!

[rexor0717]

I got the email too

[sarlucic]

Hmm I have nothing against Qore but i really want that naruto demo, and im european, and even if i got an american account, i cant add money if i dont have a american creditcard, and the chance for the demo to show on the european store is very slim

[El_Colombiano]

THIS is what I was talking about earlier. Qore is going to release this demo and us non-Qore subscribers get shafted! When do we non-Qore users get the demos Qore users get early? If ever? This is why I will not support Sony when it comes to Qore. I am a die hard Sony fan, best in the console business, but Qore is just something I wont support. Or at least until free users get demos as well as the Qore users. Online magazine FTW, playing favorites FTL.

[DraconWolfX]

Come on now...How is this any different from when OPM used to give demo discs with their magazine? Same thing. I love the sense of entitlement you have though..."IF I DON'T GET FREE DEMOS OF EVERY SINGLE THING THEN SONY IS F'ING ME"

This is no different. It's a premium service and as such you get premium features. Plus, so far Qore is awesome.

[Blackcanary]

Dude u don't live in Europe so u've got nothing to worry about.
Europe just keep getting screwed and it sucks big time.
If u lived in the UK you would understand where we are coming from.

[TheWickedOne]

Although Beast pretty much made a bogus "news submit" it does look like Qore ep2 and 1492 game is coming out next week in the PSN.

Qore looks like a good episode. The demo doesn't really do anything for me.

[Imallvol7]

I am SO GLAD I didn't get the subscription. I only needed Qore 1 for the socom demo.

[MisfitSmurf]

thats why i only bought the first issue :D

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

I WANT THAT NARUTO DEMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. BUT I AINT GETTING QORE TO HAVE IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT. I'M PISSED OFF A LITTLE.

[meepmoopmeep]

i don't like this idea of holding back demos from non-subscribers

[DraconWolfX]

Why not? It's a premium service, you get premium features. Back on the PS2 you never got demos for free. You had to pay $5 for the PS Underground demo discs. I see NOTHING wrong with Sony giving this away. Plus you get calling all cars for free, thats $10 for the year. I'm definitely liking Qore so far.

[Captain Tuttle]

PSN is free

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

Yes, you don't pay to play, do you? Maybe you are so used to get raped even on wallpapers that you see any little money as trying and milking you, but really, Qore is no where near obligatory.

[DarkBlade]

I want to get it for the naruto Demo.

[Wolfmoonstrike]

Glad I grabbed the annual sub last month. Resistance 2 stuff yay!

[Polluted]

That sucks. These demos and game previews are just commercials really. Why then would anyone want to pay for them?

[Wolfmoonstrike]

So are other mags if you think about it. This is just in digital form. I'm glad I got the sub learned a bunch of new stuff from the last issue. So to me the price is worth it. But hey just because it works for me doesn't mean it works for everybody else.

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

I get what you are saying about the demos. They are a propaganda more than anything else, and for that logic that should be free.

I'm also a bit disappointed on the demos in Qore. I know it's not a Sony publication, it's a deal for a magazine publisher. But many people (me included) would have believed that since PSN is free and promised to be maintained in that way, even aware that there should be commerce in it, we would have always accesss to demos and all that "propaganda" stuff.

And I don't get this people so happy with the demo in the e-mag, since you should get it anyway, it's not like you are getting it because the mag exist, it would just land on Store, and in the same time. And if the mag was good enough, it really would not have to canibalize PSN content...

But really, it's far from a problem. For the previews, or behind the scenes, it much like any magazine.

[Wolfmoonstrike]

I see your point. But don't mags secure exclusive demos all the time? I mean maybe Qore secured the exclusive so sony can't put it on PSN. I mean I remember for ps2 era that you could get exclusive demos from PSM. But sony didn't give us the demos we had to buy the mag for 'em. But times are different so you're right everybody should get the demo, but seeing as this demo probably comes from a 3rd party devoloper, Maybe Qore got an exclusive deal w/ them or maybe sony just plans to release the demo at a later time. But hey if you don't believe in buying mags for exclusive demos then stick by your principles and don't by the mags. But if you want info on those games up there, then why not get it.

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

I have just said the same about mags have demos before in other comment that you made.

I can accept it.

But let's be reasonable. Since online services offer demos free now, we all know mags has lost this ground, I don't see anyone complaining about don't have to buy a mag for the demo.

Still, even today, after the consoles get online services, it still happens, every now and than we see this with mags or other thing you have to buy to play the demo (FF XIII was said to have a demo on LR, Ratchet offered a demo on pre-orders). OK, so Qore can be more one just offering some of those.

But that's the second month straight where it have just secured a exclusive (SOCOM Beta, now Naruto Demo), if they just do it again next month, they are obviously not having luck and getting deals to secure exclusivity in demos, they are milking in what we should be receiving for free this days, and just doing it exactly in where you usually go to get your free demo every thursday...

EDIT: Have gone out of bubbles, but just to finish any doubt... I'm not against Qore. There is pretty much cool things in it that have all the right to be there: previews, behind the scenes, interviews and even the betas are OK.

Even if you could arguably get most of those for free on the internet, in Qore they are organized, there is human work behind getting it and putting it there if you want to see. And they should base their capacity to sell in it, in the quality of their work. And if they are, the demos thing will be forgiven, but if they aren't, this is plain wrong.

Demos are meant to be free this gen. If they are milking in it this is really bad. Specially because they are milking it on the Store, not like your usual magazine, that you have to go after it and buy it, Qore comes to you and say "what you should get for free here, I'm here just selling it to you".

If that turn out to be what most people think, this will trash PSN's image.

[Polluted]

That true Wolf. I just hope they don't start dangling all the worthwhile PSN content in front of us with Qore like XBL Gold memberships.

[Marceles]

I can see the next flamebait story now..."Naruto now on Xbox Marketplace, PS3 users to pay? Qore already a flop confirmed?" I have the Qore subscription anyway, so I'll get my hands on it one way or another.

edit: Ah you're right...I'm so used to everything being multiplat lol, never mind (throws away comment) bubble for catching that...but I can still see Kotaku making up a story about this

[Wolfmoonstrike]

Isn't this Naruto exclusive for the ps3? or am I thinking of something different?

edit: lol, yah I can see kotaku doing something like that and blowing things out of proportions. (god I love firefox spell checker, would of never been able to spell proportions otherwise.)

[JVIDICAN]

its exclusive

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

But the his toughts are just right, what if it was a multiplat game? I really think they should avoid bluring more the lines of what you have free and what you don't on PSN.

[Xemnas]

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja
Storm demo ? damnit ok sony i'll buy the damn Qore

[SmokeyMcBear]

well, silver subscribers to live have to wait a week before they get their hands on a demo, so if this one particular demo is available to the general psn userbase after some time, i dont see how that is a problem

[Appo]

So, with that logic, if the PS3 had a high failure rate it'd be okay, because the 360 has one, too.. I love my PS3, but I seriously think this Qore thing is plain stupid. IMO, you shouldn't have to pay to get a demo or video first. It's just an easy way to make a quick buck.

[Wolfmoonstrike]

Well not everybody is paying for the demos or betas. And even if you can get the videos else where whether before or after the qore issue comes out. It's still a lot easier to just download it to your ps3 and watch it on the tv. Also not everybody goes around searching for the vids. I know I don't and happily paid for the annual sub. Saved me time that could be spent elsewhere. And you could be right all it is to make a quick buck, but they would hardly be the first people/company to try that. Like I said IMO it's worth it.

edit @bishop: Nice to see some decent argument. Bubbles up man. I hope you keep it up.

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

I don't see people pursuing on internet for free what Qore offers for some money, there isn't that much interest, so you can't really say that isn't a majority of people buying it just for Demos and Betas...

To be pretty fair, there is no confirmation at all that we'll get SOCOM Beta or Naruto Demo for free not just late or day-and-date with Qore, but EVER, or there is such confirmation? I'm really don't have seen it. And if there isn't one at all, you can pretty much assume that anyone that really care about those things will buy this mag just for it, they can even like the rest of the mag, but that isn't what is moving Qore.

But there isn't anything really wrong. I remember many betas that you have to buy or wait to enter, so it's OK... For the demos, even if we get them on online services always now, there was a time when was pretty normal buy mags that comes with a demo disc every now and than.

[Clinton514]

Not fond of the hostess though. Anyhow, I subscribed to the full year and I think it'll be worth it.

To everyone comparing this to Live Silver/Gold...don't be crazy. Apples and oranges.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Sorry man, your apples and oranges isn't going to cut it. 360 owners have been bashed to bits because of Silver account's having to wait after gold members on Live for demo's this is no different. Not getting off the hook.

[Clinton514]

I don't deal in hurt feelings. Give me facts. As a multi-console gamer, I know what I'm speaking of.

[Laexerias]

THIS IS SPARTA OMFG.
I MEAN, HELLO? WHATS ABOUT US EUROPEANS!? WANT NARUTO WANT NARUTO AAAAHHHHHH SCREW YOU AMERICA I NUKE U, AGAIN! GIEF NARUTO GIEF NARUTO GIEF NARUTO!

[wildcat]

But this idea of exclusive demos through Qore just doesn't sit well with me. Exclusive previews, sure. VIdeos, why not. Even betas are okay (since their purpose is only to test stability). But demos1? They should be available to everyone!

I hope it's only timed exclusive though :(

[Appo]

I just don't think that we should have to pay for early access to demos. I could put that money towards a PSN game. I don't mind if they give you a whle bunch of exclusive interviews, videos, music, whatever. I know they aren't the first company to charge and they most certainly will not be the last, but I just don't like the idea. To each his own, though.

[AllroundGamer]

so will the Naruto demo be available later for all PSN users? because if not, i would say shame on you Sony and so called free PSN...

[thehitman]

about the demo so wat? Honestly if they didn pack a demo in with qore or a beta in each month then you sort of just a little feel slighted unless you got the yearly subscription. I wanna see the making of res2!

Also did the 360 get the naruto demo?? on xbl because if they didnt then I dont see anything to complain about.

[wildcat]

No, this Naruto's a PS3 exclusive.

[AllroundGamer]

Well first of all this Naruto game looks alot better than the Xbox360 Naruto game, and hopefully it will also play better, and i have finished the Xbox360 game so i know what i'm talking about... (fighting the same pirate looking bandits was really boring)

[getrdone]

I really dont see why people are mad about this, because you get the psn for free and dont have to pay 50 dollars a year just to play games online. I feel like sony released Qore so they can keep the psn free. If you want the demo pay 2.99 for the July Qore and you will also get to see some new R2 stuff. Im just happy that the psn is free.

[OMGLOLZ]

You idiots just don't get it. When the "Official Xbox Magazine" has an exclusive demo on the disk, you don't freak out.

This is the exact same thing, you morons.

[NeoBasch]

I think many people might be missing something here. Since PSN is for free and demos take time to put together, developers may not want to go out of their way to put a demo out with no compensation. Matter of fact, they would have lost money in the deal as they have to pay someone to put the demo together. I guess it could be figured into their Marketing budget. Regardless, maybe the marketing and tech teams are tied down with other projects to be bothered by a demo. Imagine, though, if you were offered a fair amount of money to put out a demo, whether in a pre-final build or otherwise. The extra money may make their efforts worthwhile. Could possibly recoup any lost time, and increase budgets for future games. Not a bad deal. However, if this is not what is going on with the demo situation. Well, then Qore might have a problem, but this is probably the answer.

The next question is if the demos should remain exclusive to Qore. I think all PSN users should be able to download it eventually, so long as Qore's sales remain strong. If it falls because everyone is willing to wait, well then it should remain exclusive. The whole point in the exclusive demo is for rewarding the people who payed for the service by giving them material they would have, otherwise, never received.

Well, at least that's just the way my brain is thinking right now. Maybe there is something even I am missing. :)

[Lew_Ijgee]

Some people are taking this way out of proportion. When you buy the July episode of Qore, your receipt is not going to read "Naruto ... Demo - $2.99."

The Demo is a bonus, yet most of you pretend as if every PSN demo is only available to those who buy Qore. There are new demos on PSN nearly every week now. Has there even been a release date set for Naruto?

At its core, (pardon the pun) Qore has nothing to do with PSN. PSN is only the medium for delivery. Things would be just the same if it was released for PC, Xbox Live, or DVD for that matter. Its certainly unfair to compare Qore to the Gold/Silver Xbox Live situation.

I'm sure we will see the demo on PSN, but that doesn't have to happen until near the day of the retail release. If you want it now buy Qore, otherwise stop complaining.

[nice_cuppa]

we all pay in the long run !

[CNIVEK]

...for weening PS3 owners off of a free PSN. It was only a matter of time until they figured out MS was right. As more and more exclusive content is put on Qore, PS3 owners will be forced to buy a subscription.

[Uzesgelen_Goo]

i'm received that e-mail too but i'm not subscribed to Qore lol

[DFresh]

Sure we Sony owners will be paying but what do you get for your $50/year compared to our service.
None.
Your just using it to play online.
$25/year for a Subscription is worth it.
Why?
Simple.
Early Betas for games.
Behind the scenes of games and developer interviews.
Exclusive Content.
Early news about anything Sony.
Game Shows.
Movie Trailers.
etc.

That sounds a whole lot better than just playing online.

[CNIVEK]

...that's all FREE with XBOX Live. :o

[TheWickedOne]

We've had 7 "free" demos so far this month and all you guys are complaining about is one demo. It almost sickening.

[Pornlord]

I'm not paying to play, I'm paying for a magazine, i thought we already went over this??? Having a hard time understanding the concept of a digital magazine are we?

[SeanScythe]

wait so when you buy a magazine and get a cd with a demo or pay gamestop $5 to reserve a game and you get a beta(MGO) or a demo a week early (BF:BC) what is the differance? Nothing, you can still play online free and get other stuff free and the demo will come out maybe a week later. Quit being cheap bastards and atleast it's not $50 a year and force you to pay just to play online games.

[Blackcanary]

I just found out about this Qore thing why is it Europe keep geting screwed i don't understand why doesn't the PSW mag do a special online mag for the PS3 and give u special demos u can get on the PSN.
ITs like Europe keep getting stabed in the back.

[SeanScythe]

yes it's not like europe gets a tv service for the ps3 that the US won't be getting.

[Blackcanary]

And its not the US have a Plastion Blog Site where they can talk to people at Sony.

Its not like the DS3 came out in US before the Europe and still hasn't come out in Europe.

Its Not Like Games ON THE US PS STORE come out before they come out on the Europe store and that Europe have to wait like 8 months to get it Hint Hint Super Puzzel Fighter HD.

Its not like Europe have an half assed version of the US PS Store.

Its not Like the 80GB PS3 came out in the USA and still hasn't come out in the UK and proberly wont come out in the UK.

So yeah Europe have got Screwed again.

[AllseeingEye]

People this is fake. I have annual qore and I dont see this but I do see an xbox fan trying to stir up trouble.

[Mikelarry]

has even put up a picture to prove hes not lying. i got this email as well today and i saw the naruto thing. ppl might miss it because its really small

[TheWickedOne]

not fake. I have the annual sub too, it's just not out yet. I got the e-mail as well.

[Iceman X]

The bottom line is that SONY does not run Qorem they didn't even make it, matter of fact they have nothing to do with it other than that they allowed the people that made it to put it on PSN. And for you guys that don't know Qore is run by some of the same people that made OPM magazine. Qore is the same as the old Playstation Underground and OPM magazine. I have no idea why people are complaining and such if you don't like it than don't buy it, end of story.
