Another stupid sounding idea... What happened to playing games for fun =\

[NetheRealm]

Game testing does look like a tedious tiresome job where you have to play games you don't even like & try to find bugs which for me would take the fun out of it but fior someone who want's a job in the area of gaming & PS3 this is an incredible opportunity to get your foot in the door & could eventually lead to becoming a game designer or any number of positions.

I am looking forward to watching this video series I think it's a great idea & will make an entertaining series similar to the WCG Ultimate gamer competition that ran on Spike a while ago. Plus it's a start to more possibilities of PlayStation free reality show series. Maybe someday they'll have a free series on the PSN that's as cool as True Blood that would be awesome.
