Looks like the UK is finally getting some gaming goodness with the announcement of Sony’s “PlayStation Beta” event which is inviting a lucky group of gamers to play a few titles due for release at the end of 2010 and the begining of 2011 with free food n drink thrown in AND! a chance to race on Motor Storm for the chance to win a 3D TV.

All you gotta do is sign up by email and be available to be in Birmingham on either Saturday 31st July or Sunday 1st August.

Im signed up to go, Just waiting to get picked. Bring on the GT5 and Killzone 3

Do you live in the UK?

Can you make it to Birmingham on one of those dates?

Get Qore outside of the U.S.

Jul 7

If your in the US you can subscribe to Qore for $25.00 or you can just get PSN+ which includes the Qore subscription but for us over in Europe and the UK Qore is not availableso how do we get it?

It’s not easy to do but if you really want it this is how.

First of all you need to make an American PSN account when it comes to the address part just use google to find a USA address and zip code, may i suggest somewhere in California as i they do not seem to charge tax whereas i think if you use a New York address you will be charged approx an extra $5.

So now you have your USA PSN account you can now log on and view what the Americans get on their Playstation store (yes they get different content and PS Home is different too) But to buy anything from the US playstation store you will need to add funds to your PS wallet and you won’t be able to do that with your Euro or UK credit/bank card as the address on your card does not match the adress on your US PSN account so this is where you will need paypal and a friend in the USA who you can trust.

You’ll need to arrange with your American buddy a way for you to send him $50 over the internet (Paypal is easy) so he can go out and buy you a PSN Top up card (i say 50 cause Qore costs £24.99 for 1 year subscription and you can only purchase $20 or $50) Once he has the top up card he will need to send you the redeem code from the top up card so you can redeem it on your USA account. Once that’s done you can go onto the PSN store and subscribe to Qore for 1 year which will leave you $25.01 on your account which you can either keep and subscribe after 12 months or just spend on the Store.

For us in the UK don’t forget you can get First Play which is the UK’s equivalent to Qore but i do think Qore is better.

It’s alot of messing around i know but if you want it but can’t get it – That’s how it’s done. Enjoy!

Slightly off my usual topics but had to post this when i saw it. Global warming everybody seems to think but i think its all down to the 300 year weather cycle which if true means 4 or 5 more years of snowy winters.
Anyway check out this picture of the UK covered in snow and if you’d like to download a larger version of the photo just click here

Well, i had to start from scratch as i now have the UK version of the download and i lost my times from the Japan version i was on yesterday BUT!! haha ive beat my times. Theres still room for inprovement as im still 4 sec’s behing davissi which over both the tunned and normal time trials thats about a total of 8 sec’s. Im sure those times will get better ove the next month so im gonna have to put some serious track time in if i have any chance of becoming a real driver for Nissan and Playstation.
