PlayStation Rewards Program Announced

Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) announced today PlayStation Rewards, a new new loyalty program designed to give PlayStation fans in the United States the opportunity to gain exclusive status, recognition, and rewards based on a variety of PlayStation-centric activity they engage in across the PlayStation ecosystem. There are three reward tiers for PlayStation Reward members to attain, consisting of Select, Pro and Legendary, in increasing order. Members advance through each tier based on their level of engagement and actions across the PlayStation ecosystem, including playing new games for the first time, buying content from PlayStation Network in PlayStation Store or PlayStatio ®Home, downloading movies and TV shows, or engaging in communication with PlayStation like taking surveys, for example. As their status increases, so do the rewards. PlayStation Rewards will begin as an invitation-only beta, including early adopters of PlayStation Plus and Gamer Advisory Panel (GAP) members, who will have the chance to help shape the program and get a head start on obtaining exclusive rewards. The full public launch is scheduled for Spring 2011, when registered PlayStation Network fans will be able to join the free loyalty program. Check full story for details.
