Whenever we hear about a new trademark being applied for, we feel we should remind everyone that it doesn't necessarily mean that whatever was trademarked will actually exist. The trademark Qore was filed by SCEA, whose description contains "computer services, namely, providing interactive online magazine and entertainment in the field of video games." Sounds like the PlayStation Blog wasn't enough!This trademark has something to do with the PlayStation brand, but we aren't sure if it's going to be specifically related to the PS3. It might just be Sony getting ready to push a new online magazine that'll function similar to IGN, or it might be plotting some sort of downloadable magazine onto the PlayStation Store. The information bar that nobody uses might be connected. Then again, Qore could remain unused by Sony for years. Speculate away!

I'm quite intrigued about this. SCEA has taken some nice steps within the past year when it comes to keeping in touch with the PS community (Home doesn't count, thats SCEE). The PS Blog has been a huge success, and while the info bar hasn't been too useful it was a nice attempt.
If this 'Qore' (pronounced 'core'?) does indeed come to fruition and is indeed an 'interactive magazine,' we could see quite a bit more of community involvement and an easy way to keep up with everything PS/Sony branded.

Should also point out, the PSP already has an 'interactive comic,' and an 'interactive magazine' wouldn't be too much larger of a step.

That sounds like a cool idea. Maybe even a virtual zeen in Home.
