Just when you thought we ve seen it all in reality television comes The Tester, a new concept that is holding open casting calls through the official PlayStation blog.
The show will run eight episodes long and will follow the paths of several contestants as they try and land their dream job in the video game industry. Marketer, you say? No.
From the blog:
The lucky winner will earn a contract position at Sony Computer Entertainment’s Quality Assurance department in San Diego, CA, where he or she will get hands on time with the most highly anticipated games in the industry.
The Tester is scheduled to appear exclusively on the PlayStation Network, though no word on whether Sony plans to charge. Our guess is they re looking for or already have a sponsor lined up to usher the new program in.
