Has there been a reality TV show based in Second Life yet? I was sure one would pop up there before here. Oh well, another pointless thing in life to ignore.
PSN - now with TWO complete wastes of time, digital film and bandwidth (Qore, and now this).
make.sense, please. Only this once, that's all I ask.

@Wolfrider, I was going to say, who the hell would compete for a QA job, I mean, it's a foot in the door but still
Let's celebrate mediocrity! It's like watching a show where people compete for job working the grill at McDonalds.
I like the idea and competition but I don't like paying to see it. Why cant they just run commercials on the videos before it starts so they can make their money? No one would complain about this.
Sony Learn from Hulu and Youtube and you could dominate teh internetz!

What wolfrider said. I knew almost all QA testers before I moved.
It sucks no matter who you're with. And it's a shit ton of paperwork.

testers get paid like, minimum wage work tons of overtime and are rode like horses- not to mention it is an entry level job- why would anyone go for this?
I can't believe people are going to end up paying for this. Sony is screwing a lot of people out of cash here, especially if the "winner" doesn't get anything more significant than 15 minutes of fame and a QA position.
Even if you're working on a fantastic game like, God of War; you play the same level for 8 hours a day, 5 or sometimes 7 days a week. You quickly lose all love for that game.
Being a tester is what ended my desire to be in the game industry. Sure its entry level and you get shat upon like any other entry level position. I saw what people at the developer level were like, though, and I didn't want to be there anymore. This industry is not alway pretty once you get inside.
All I can say is, thank god Europe doesn't have this crap because they know what reaction they would get.
Wow they're really prepared to push the boat out by giving people more 'Entertainment' as opposed to more cost-effective useful things.
lololololololololololololololololol. Worst prize ever. Long hours, low pay, little recognition. The contestants will be savagely disappointed when they realize QA is not the dream job they hoped it would be. It's just a job.
I almost would pay to watch their dreams be crushed though. Almost.

There are better companies to get your foot in the door. Sony is just disgusting and this is completely shameless. It's a trap folks! Don't fall for it. And considering it's Sony, the prize will last probably 2 months and then lay you off.
I believe this video is an accurate representation of my 2 years in testing.

A show with contestants competing for a developers position by proving their worth as a game designer would be more interesting. Also, wouldn't they make more money by just putting a bunch of ads in the show? A ton less people are going to watch it if they have to pay for it.
I worked at the SCEA in Redwood Shores, and currently work for Namco. I thought we had the Geneva Convention in place for this kinda thing?
