“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.”

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.

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

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.

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?

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.
