Actually, it sounds more like a 'club', or rather, "Playstation Underground: Version 2". You do receive content similar to what a gaming magazine delivers, as well as an invitation to participate in a beta (which I assume would be a regular thing for all subscribers; not just limited to SOCOM). I might bite for only $25/year... but at $3 for an episode it's even better; I may get the SOCOM package for $3, then if I don't want what they offer next month, I'll just wait to see what they offer the month after that.
Though I would've preferred they got Morgan Webb to host it...

You would need to add in a load of shit adverts as well. Adverts that you are paying to see.

To be clear, Qore will actually have ads according to 1UP, and I did see a BK ad in the video.I agree that this seems like another PlayStation Underground, but I can't say I'm too interested in it.

Let me get this straight, they want people to pay to play the socom beta, as all the other stuff is utter garbage and should be free in the first place... Am I getting this right or am I missing something?

How do you know what the rest of the program is like?? You don't, so yes you are missing something until you see an episode. The way I see it is it looks like some sort of games journal but in the format of a program online. Do you get PSM free every month? No you pay for content in magazines as you will have to here.
The key thing is that those who like this kind of thing (It doesn't interest me personally) can choose to have it. It's one more option added to the PSN which is a free service to start with.

No, I don't get it period. The stuff in most of the exclusive magazines(for all the consoles) is biased and as a consequence is garbage.
But, you have a point. I will try it and see for myself...

Biased in what way? I'll assume you mean that it gives games exclusive to that platform unjustifiably higher scores than others, and point out that PSM/PTOM, gave some of the biggest PS3 exclusives of last year lower than their average scores according to GameRankings; this includes Lair, Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, and Uncharted.This post has been edited by Kamasutra318: Jun 7 2008, 11:46 AM

I don't think it would hurt to make the first in this series free so people could watch and see if it was of interest. Other wise I can't see me bothering.

Again like i said they are charging for the beta invitation nothing more...
As for the magazines, a one console magazine is going to be biased, one way or onother, they sell because people have that console, if less people has that console less people is going to buy it, so they tend to glorify it. Not only in reviews but in the text, replys to the letters etc... I really can't tell about your part of the world but here it's like that so I don't buy them. Also for me it would be a waste of money seeing that i have all the consoles and prefer to buy an independent magazine that has reviews and charts for all the consoles. But nowadays i rarely buy one, as all the information ends up in the internet. I can give you one thing: it's more confortable to read a magazine while taking a dump, then to take your laptop to the can:)

On occasions I have purchased something because it was cheap (I usually regret it).
I can relate - I'm a recovering clearance junkie, and haven't even opened half the games I got (yet; I still plan to get into Lair & Folklore).
