Naruto PS3 Playable Demo Exclusive To Qore
Sony has revealed that the upcoming demo for Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm will be exclusively available to Qore subscribers, at least for a few weeks. The minute that the Qore "monthly digital program" for the PS3 was announced, we knew that something like this was coming, but it still feels a little wrong. Xbox Live will block Silver users from downloading demos for a few weeks, but this is the first time that Sony has limited a demo to a base of subscribers.
The anime fighter looks to have pretty decent cel-shaded graphics, but is that enough to get you to splurge for the new service? If so, it should be available with the next episode of Qore, but if you decide to save your pennies, expect to see the demo on PSN about mid-July. Qore is available for $2.99 a month, or $24.99 for a 13 episode annual subscription.
It's an interesting choice to start off this process, as Naruto games seem pretty popular, but usually aren't blockbusters. I would have guessed that a big Sony title, like WipeOut HD or Little Big Planet might have been the first demo exclusive to Qore. Maybe that's the point - ease us into the idea with small, mainstream, or marginal titles, so when a hardcore game hits Qore, it won't hurt quite so bad.

Huh. Well, I hate Naruto games, and I refuse to pay for advertisements so I'm not getting Qore, so I guess I'm not out anything here.
The fans are called 'Narutards' for a reason.
All I know about Naruto I learned from Adam Sessler. The main lesson being to avoid anything related to Naruto, especially the games. BELIEVE IT!
I really find this whole Qore service an insult to gamers. seriously, "pay us money to advertise to you!!" what's next, Nintendo starts charging money to tell you what their VC releases are, and you can find out for free a month later?
