An intruder!
Sony officially unveiled today its Gamer Advisory Panel, a group of gamers around the nation that will give Sony insight into the mind of the video game player which will help them plan new products and innovative marketing. The members in return get privileges such as exclusive information, special merchandise, a members-only message board, and the satisfaction of helping a billion-dollar electronic corporation.
"We realize that our most important assets are the PlayStation consumers and loyal fans," said Marilyn Weyant, vice president, loyalty and channel marketing, Sony Computer Entertainment America. "The Gamer Advisory Panel gives us a vehicle to open dialog with our most passionate consumers so we can address their gaming experiences and desires. Our gamers have a voice within the company that will influence the future of PlayStation gaming."
Only registered members of the PlayStation Underground who demonstrated passion for and skill in gaming were invited (a few of which are members of our very own TNL forums), and represent less than 1 percent of the total U.S. PlayStation consumer base.

we voted on a cover art for a game already...so I guess something will come out of it, but don't really know what else will come after that. Take a lot of surveys and polls and get rewards for it.
Dippity-Do!
You had better see Mark of Kri make it through to series completion!

Meh. I was invited.
Twice.
Every time I got an invite, it arrived two days after the closing date for registration.
Thanks, Sony.

They sent me a little binder thing with a palnner, Playstation pen, and same PS2 game holder sleeves, so whatever you wanna call it, they are keeping me happy unless I am paying for it in soem other way. Oh wait, my PSX had to be turned upside down, and my PS2 gets disk read errors...oh man, I'm getting ripped!

They can ask me all the questions they want, as long as they keep the promo goods flowin. This little binder is the best one I've ever had.Originally posted by Lhadatt
They haven't asked us anything like that yet...
Though we did get nifty organizers with Playstation stationary, game/manual holders and memory card slots...
