I was curious to see the show, but I have to say, it’s pretty bad.

The contestants that have been chosen might just be the biggest group of losers ever seen on a reality-type show–a bold statement to be sure, but I wouldn’t even want to come into physical contact with any of them.

Case in point: the guy who was asked to leave. Dude is holding back tears, promising his family that he’ll somehow redeem himself in life because he failed to become a video game tester??? Hella lame.

And what’s with the stupid nicknames they all have? What sane person actually refers to him/herself by his/her PSN ID in real life? I don’t recall David Jaffe ever insisting on being publicly addressed as “ChaosBlade” or anything dumb like that.

Maybe if the show was called “Who wants to be PlayStation’s Weed Guy/Girl?” you’d have something here. You certainly pulled together the right cast for that show, anyway.

Bah, messed that up. You get the point.
Regardless, the only way this show will redeem itself it with some big The Wizard style payoff showing some awesome upcoming game.

Marketing Exec #1: Thousands of gamers on the Intarweb state that they will pay top dollar for remakes of Jet Moto and Colony Wars.
Marketing Exec #2: Bah, gamers – I know what they want. We’ll spend good money to develop and produce a gaming related reality show – those are all the rage.
ME #1: Sounds good, go on.
ME #2: We’ll have a generically diverse lineup of contestants, and the hosts we’ll be a couple guys from downstairs, and that guy from Queer as Folk.
ME #2: I liked that show.
ME #1: I thought you would. He was also in Superman 2, so we have the Sony Pictures connection going there-
ME #2: He was?
ME #1: Yeah, he was in the elevator with Spiderman and he commented on ‘nice spidey uniform’. Anyway, we’ll put them through some easy-but-not-too-easy challenges and we’ll give the winner a paltry $5,000 and stick him down with those smelly dork testers in the basement. It’s a sure thing!
ME #2: I would be honoured to lick the sweat off your balls.

Can’t say, I love the show, but I like it.

I love to be the contestant, but I belive it was limited for US only, think about your Canadian friends too. Never heard about the show till it was too late.

I understand that the over seas contestants would be a lot harder to come by. Even the plane ticket costs, not talking about all the security thing and visas.

Keep up the good work.

p.s. this is not a dating site guys….. lol

I can’t help laughing at the contestants and what they’re probably expecting out of all this. I already had quite a hard laugh at that “Naucious” or whatever his name is… he was silly enough to think he was even remotely famous by posting youtube videos like “before the fame” and such, where he thinks the “haters” are funny. Joke’s on you, pal. Get ready for overtime, mindless regression testing, checklists, and monotony your inexperienced brain isn’t ready for. All for the low, low price of $10 an hour! I bet you’ll even get a [DELETED] game to start out with. No one will remember your “fame” when you’re in a dimly lit cubicle in Sony’s basement. But, congrats to whoever wins… you’ll really deserve the “prize”.

the host is mad hott!!!
i like this show so far. its not going to be a walk in the park for players that are in the show. most of those people assumed since there “good” in gaming itll be a shoe in. it goes to show, just because you can brush your teeth doesnt make you a dentist!
keep it up sony! love the idea and to be honest your the first to do something like this that is exclusive for your console. everybody can piggy back on movie rentals but you guys are like HBO with good original series.

I have underestimated the series. I’m actually loving The Tester! Will be looking forward to the next episode!
