No space, but you’ll be able to watch the season 3 in Theatre 2. Free virtual ‘Game Over” T-shirts also this season when you watch in PlayStation Home.

@G__ROW, understand your point but realize this is not a “job” in the sense that the winner will become an employee at Santa Monica. The winner is under a contract for a specific time frame to participate in the role/job given to them, but after that’s up they would then have to go through the normal hiring processing any person would have to for a production job and actually qualify as you were alluding to. As someone who tried out for this season it was cleary stated in the rules that this isn’t a guaranteed job for Santa Monica, and it’s been explained by Gaymer (season 2 winnner) how the tester position with Sony was for a specific contracted time.
It’s an awesome opprotunity and great experience nonetheless I’m sure.

Can’t wait for Feb 7th, let the games begin!!!

Oh @DarqueDragon I’m pretty sure it’s going to be weekly and there will be about 8 or 9 episodes.

@JLP_M, as someone who works in the industry, I think giving away a production level role is a complete joke when there are a lot of qualified people who are in need of a job. I’m all for giving people a shot at breaking into this industry, but not when they may not be qualified for the role.

@Kevin Furuichi, I’ll be watching, just don’t like the prize :)

I hope they provide CC (Closed Captioning) or English Subtitles for the Deaf/hearing impaired..

It’s pretty funny but sad at the same time that these naive individuals are competing for a lackluster job of quality assurance aka game tester. And if you think it’s a good way to get your foot in the door without a CS degree, then you’re fooling yourself.

Been waiting for this since the end of Season 2. It had been so long, I feared it wouldn’t be back. This is the only reality competition I actually enjoy watching (hm, I wonder why…).
But, my only question is, how often do new episodes come out? Is it gonna be every week, or once a month? I am pretty sure Season 2 was weekly, but can’t remember, and this being a PSN-exclusive, I wasn’t sure what the schedule would be.

Looking forward to yet another amazing season with previews from the “Sneak Peak” showing what looks to be more laughs and entertainment but also more intense Q&A with the judges. Getting a lot tougher and can’t wait for the last and final challenge to see who can handle every element of what the video game world has in-store.

Thanks again Sony for the awesome show but wondering if a branch of the show to Canada could be possible in the future?
