If you're reading this post right now, then chances are, you're a gamer. If you're not a gamer, well, did you see the name of the website? Move along now. However, if you are a gamer, you have probably at some point in your life fantasised about being a game tester. Ah yes, the holy grail of gaming dream jobs, getting paid to test upcoming videogames. Sound interesting to you? Well, Sony is looking for someone just like you, and aiming at giving you a free pass through the front door.

Cue "The Tester", Sony's attempt at it's very own reality show (because the public still can't get enough of regular Joe's lighting up their screens), and your ticket to fifteen minutes of fame and the ultimate dream job. In The Tester, Sony will pit a group of gamers against each other in a series of tests and challenges, in order to determine who should take way the grand prize: a job as a game tester in Sony's QA department in San Diego, California.

If testing games for Sony in sunny San Diego sounds as sweet to you as it does to me, go on over to the PlayStation.Blog and register for a chance to participate. For those of you who are just fine at your current day jobs, make sure to check the PSN for episodes of The Tester this winter.
