SCEA's first original PlayStation Network reality show, The Tester, will soon be unleashed upon the world. Well, they haven't given any exact dates yet, but with the casting call closed and the contestants chosen, it'll presumably be kicking off relatively soon.
If you are really feeling this show, there's an official Web site with a bunch of new details. Go to it! Those geniuses at 51 Minds who gave us The Surreal Life and, more importantly, Rock of Love were brought on to help produce The Tester.
Also, David Jaffe is going to be one of the guest panelists. All factors considered, I'm confident hilarity is bound to ensue. My only concern at this point is that of cost, as in, I don't think I'd pay to access something like this.

Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

It's also a good thing that the show has them living together, because there is no way a real tester is going to make enough money to live on their own. Might as well get used to it now.
Also, im calling it. Blue shirt afro guy wins!
Otherwise, no deal
Why the hell would anyone compete for that godawful position?
So any callers on who the first to get eliminated? Win? Most likely to stay on because of being female and drawing more viewers even though she should have been eliminated a long time ago along with that white guy?
Also, aside from the blistering deadlines, weighty responsibility and finicky cert houses, testing isn't all *that* bad of a job... at least where I work :)
Like someone was saying, they might as well be fighting to be a telemarketer.
I thought that Sony was trying to save some money and stuff.
This is not a smart investment by any means.
and Cyrus wins for liking Magical Drop 3.
hmmm.
Still, I can only assume Sony cast her because she can game AND bring the drama. She can cry at the drop of a hat.
Still, the whole concept is nothing more than a direct copycat of WCG UG, which wasn't all that swift to begin with.
