First, I'd like to commend Sony and Future Publishing for making this episode of Qore free, so that people can judge whether or not the product is worth it. Kudos.
With that out of the way, let me just say that unless this issue was much worse than the others there is no way Qore itself is worth spending money on. There is little to no new info, and while I like Veronica Belmont, here she is just reading cards and making awful jokes and puns like the hosts of awful G4 video game shows. Dressing up in a dumb outfit and running around with some sheep in the flock feature? This is pretty terrible, IMO. And there really isn't all that much content. Why all the loading? Switching between features and the main menu should be near instantaneous for something like this. All it is are pictures, some music and links to videos. I just don't understand.
Why do they even bother with the content because It's obvious to me that 80% of people who purchase Qore probably do it solely for the "bonuses" (early demos, beta access, etc.). It's the old demo disc mags all over again but this time there ARE other ways to get the demos, but they are artificially withholding them to sell the "magazine", which few people purchase it for anyway. I'd rather they just charge $2.00 for the demo as opposed to $3.00 for the content+demo, but then the "paying for early demos" would be more obvious and might engender ill will.
