Held at Sony's top secret HQ in London. A select bunch of gamers and a few left overs are invited to spend a whole day playing the new releases for Christmas, getting stuffed with beer and pizza at Sony's expense, being taken out for a meal on Saturday night, 2 night's accomodation and all travel expenses paid.
Call me lucky, but this year they had a spare slot and I got an invite :)
If I could write the word 'Woot!' in 10-mile high letters I would be doing so right now. I'll let you all know what it was like when I get back on Sunday night.

Can you bring a camera/camcorder?
If not, take some piccies with a spy one.

Hey, good luck FM. I'm not very up-to-date with all the new releases, so what games are you hoping will be there?
Good idea on the camera, but I think they'll be posting all the piccies on the Sony website anyhow like they did last year.

I was so excited about getting an invite that I forgot lol! I'm actually more looking forward to meeting all the people who work at Sony. I think XIII, MOH:RS and NFS:Underground were all mentioned originally though.

FM, can you tell me all about what you do for a job etc, as i'm not really sure. I know you betta tested SOCOM, but that's all i read about, so anything else you helped make a gem?
I'm a student and a gamer, that's really it. Yes, I'm also a beta tester for Sony along with a few thousand other gamers from all over Europe. I got in this year only because they had a vacancy and they thought my 2nd place entry in the compo they were running was a good reason to invite me (I think).
By the way, if you want to test games for Sony they're advertising in this month's OPSM2.

No, i was just wondering whether you were one of the people from the site who had actually achieved their "dream" of working in the games industry. Got my GCSE's this year so i won't be playing that much on games, but maybe i'll try and be a beta tester in my AS levels year.

LOL no! Not yet. Hence why I'm a student at the grand old age of 36. Doing an Access course this year, Degree in Software Engineering for the next 4 years, possibly a 1 year MSc after that, then maybe I'll apply to Sony for a job. And retire shortly thereafter.
