In North America, PS3 owners have Qore, a paid PSN program. In Europe, there's now FirstPlay.

GamersConsoleNetwork scored a big scoop this morning, pulling the first images of the PSP Go (running LittleBigPlanet) out of the latest edition of Qore, which apparently went live early.

So, pre-ordering inFamous gets you in the Uncharted: Among Thieves multiplayer beta. Don't want to do that? Be a Qore subscriber, or sign up before Friday.

PlayStation 3 owners who haven't seen the point of paying for a monthly magazine on their console will get a taste of what they're missing tomorrow as Sony releases Qore episode 07 for free.

Qore Invites To Home Beta For Annual Subscribers Only. Sorry if you got ants in your pants about the next issue of Qore serving as your digital gateway to the public Home beta program.

Next Qore Opens Door To Home. According to the pitch for the next issue of Qore — Sony's digital magazine on PlayStation Network — subscribers and single issue buyers will get access to the closed beta for PlayStation Home.

After a delay, Sony's PLAYSTATION Store *finally* upated, and Qore is available. According to PlayStation.Blog:

I'm still not sold on Qore (which launched today, fyi). Not even close. The concept of paying Sony so they can market stuff to me? That just does not compute. Especially when an annual subscription costs you $25, which is $25 more than you should be paying for company-produced trailers and "previews". Guess someone at…

It's slated to bring a couple potentially good demos, plus a free Guitar Hero III tune from God of War II — not to mention Sony's launching online digital magaziney thingy Qore.
