Since it was first announced six months ago, Sony's monthly infotainment magazine Qore has stuggled to find and/or keep an audience. Although it has offered some cool beta access and game demos, PSN members have been seemingly reticent to pony up the $2.99 to watch Sony developers tout their wares. What's a giant electronics and distribution conglomerate to do with a show they've clearly invested so much in? Taking a page from drug dealers and credit card companies, Sony has decided to give you your first taste free.

That's right, tonight's PlayStation Store update will offer Episode 7 of Qore for the amazingly low low price of zero dollars. The episode will feature an look at the upcoming Skate 2, a trip to Capcom to discuss Bionic Commando, and a downloadable Killzone 2 theme. There is also going to be a feature on Codemasters' upcoming Damnation, described on the PS blog as "a post-modern third person-shooter served with a Jules Verne twist", which I have to admit intrigues me more than a little bit.

What do you think? Is this offering of goodies at this new and improved price point going to be enough to get you to watch Qore?
