“The Tester” Coming To PSN

Leaked news of a new PSN reality TV show...?
Published 30/11/2009 at 14:30 by nofi

I’ve not heard of “The Tester” before, but this person has apparently spent “an amazing week” with 51 Minds, who I assume are the casting company behind the “upcoming reality show” which will run on the PlayStation Network next year.  It is, so the blog says, “a competition style show to find PlayStation’s next video game tester.”

The blogger was the host, it seems, and the show is filled with “fun challenges, tense eliminations and incredible contestants.”

  1. Never heard of it either, but sounds like it could be fun


    • I’m up for it.


      • count me in


  2. I’ve heard of it. It’s some kinda competition to win the chance to be a games tester. Not sure how you apply or if you still can though.


    • Sorry i just read the rest…it already says that!


  3. I heard of this a while ago. I was vaguely interested, I believe, just like I am now.


  4. It’s only on the US PSN.


    • bet you didn’t see that coming :)


      • Hope for the best, plan for the worst, this is SCEE we’re talking about…


    • Grrrrrrr


    • Typical. SCEE never give us anything good :(


      • I thought this meme was dead?


      • i thought “no plans for europe” was the one for this. :)


    • Vidzone, BBC iPlayer and free Mirror’s Edge DLC >>>> some probably rubbish reality show.


  5. Never heard of it but sounds good.


  6. To all the people confused: It’s the new reality show in the US where people compete to become a games tester for playstation.


  7.  heres the casting call trailer  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWjQVrZ8FE8


  8. I definately heard something about this ages ago.. but I think you have to be 18 and live in the US, so thats a double no for me.


  9. No. No more reality TV. I can’t watch actual entertaining TV anymore. When I come home my mother is in front of the TV, with X Factor, Hell’s Kitchen, Dancing with the stars, Strictly Come Dancing, Hell’s Kitchen, I’m a Celebrity, Extreme Makeover, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, All-Ireland Talent Show, Britain’s Next Top Model, America’s Next Top Model, Hell’s Kitchen USA, American Idol, and way, way more! Please, STOP IT NOW!!! It’s not fair, whatever happened to Dexter, Prison Break, True Blood, The Wire, CSI, Criminal Minds, Lost etc. being the most watched TV shows? Why is reality TV killing drama?


  10. Heard about this back in early September when it was announced.

  11. Could be good, could be crap. My feeling is that it would turn out to be crap, since it’s easier to make crap then good crap.


  12. I have never heard of it maybe it will be a good game.


  13. Heard about it over 2 months ago on Joystiq.. and Kotaku.. seriously?

    This is WAY old news. Ancient even..


  14. I was on the show. Sucks that it wont be available in the UK, it’s news to me.
