Sony wants to hire you to fetch coffee. Ok, I lied.

They want to see if you are good enough to be The Tester. They said today:

Want a chance to work for PlayStation?
Do you have the skills and determination to work as a game tester?
Today we are announcing a new original program that will be created for
the PlayStation Network
called “The Tester.” This series of programs will follow a group of
select gamers as they face-off in a series of elimination challenges
designed to test their mental toughness, endurance, and video game
knowledge as they compete for a job working as a PlayStation game
tester. The winner of the new show gets a job working for PlayStation’s
Quality Assurance department in San Diego, CA and gets the opportunity
to work on some of the best PlayStation games.

If you’re interested, complete the online casting submission form
and upload a short video explaining why you’re the perfect
contestant for “The Tester” at www.us.PlayStation.com/psn/thetester. As you can imagine, this show will be sure to entertain so we’ll be back on the Blog when we have more to share.

I would emphasize an attention to detail, if I were you. Like the “I can scour every square inch of this map 400 times” level of detail. If you think they’re asking you if you’re equivalent to a 50 in Halo 3, I’m thinking you are sadly mistaken. Yeah, you’ll need some skill to play the games, but, remember, you’re going to be doing quality assurance testing (beyond talking shit to the other contestants) when it’s all said and done….
