Do you suffer from a lack of PlayStation-related news and infotainment style content? Well you're in luck! Sony has announced Qore, a monthly interactive program delivered via the PSN and PlayStation Store. A collaboration between Sony Computer Entertainment of North America and Future U.S., Inc (publisher of PlayStation: The Official Magazine), Qore will bring subscribers "exclusive news, developer interviews, in-depth game previews and behind-the-scenes looks at PlayStation games and special access to game demos, special beta invitations, game add-ons and other downloadable game-related content." All of it brought to you in brilliant HD.

Programs will be available from the PlayStation Store at an introductory cost of $2.99 each, or $24.99 for an annual subscription (13 episodes). There is no word as to when the "introductory" price runs until, nor how much the shows will be once the introduction is over. The first episode will include "in-depth exclusive and never-before released content on upcoming PlayStation titles such as SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Secret Agent Clank, Soul Calibur 4 and Afro Samurai, as well as the latest Blu-ray Disc trailers, an exclusive SOCOM: Confrontation theme with an invitation to the SOCOM: Confrontation beta, art galleries and other surprises."

Although it sounds like another G4 (albiet in pure HD, and without fifteen hours of Cheaters) Sony promises that Qore will be "fully interactive". This means that subscribers will be able to view the information however they deem fit. Multiple windows, picture-in-picture, and other features will be available. 

I may have to check this out, and I think that for $2.99, it can't really hurt. What about you?
