Remember that PlayStation Event Initiative? Here's What it Turned Out to Be

Late last month, we reported that an e-mail went out to select PlayStation MVPs inviting them to a secret event in New York City on Friday February 13 to be the first to witness a “new PlayStation initiative." The event has today taken place and the initiative has been revealed.

Lucky this event was super hyped or it might have been very disappointing to a lot of people here.

And wow, Snoop Dogg will basically appear anywhere if you pay this guy. I seriously saw him on Live with Kelly and Michael Show...

[gangsta_red]

*wasn't super hyped...

is what I meant to say...

[Dirtnapstor]

Cheese fest. I don't know about the others, but Snoop Dogg doesn't really meet the requirements for "hero". I liked him in Starsky and Hutch, that's about it.

[Skate-AK]

He has a CD coming out in 2015. His label probably set the appearance for him so he can drum up interest. People see him on there, wonder what he is doing, Google his name and find out he has a album releasing this year.

I would hope most people would google "Why isn't Snoop Dogg dead yet?"

Dude's a bitch

[ValKilmer]

Sony really trolled us on this one...

[MasterCornholio]

Sony never hyped this event to begin with.

:I

People on this site sure did though, including you. You yourself said you thought media molecule would show off a game.

[Brotard]

No not really since it wasn't really a public event, never meant to get hyped, etc... And secondly im never dissappointed when a company takes a charity iniative, and you shouldn't be either. Just imagine if you get to play with the snoop dawg I think thats pretty dope!

[MysticStrummer]

Dope being the operative word.

But yeah, I don't see how this could be seen as a troll. The first thing I thought when I saw the title of this article was, "No I don't remember that. What was it?". Gaming events are advertised as such, and there would have been teasers leading up this one if that was what it was about.

[MrBeatdown]

People trolled themselves.

[TheRedButterfly]

As ironic as it is, you trolled yourself.

[DanielEndurance]

Omfg. And here I was wishing I was an MVP so I could go...

[MasterCornholio]

Well I hope they can raise a lot of money.

Charity is always good as long as its done right.

:)

[SaveFerris]

I wonder if the game chosen for Snoop Dogg is GTA San Andreas?

[Me-Time]

It would be for Madden. We're not in the '90s anymore.

***Sony has revealed PlayStation HEROES which will allow players to tea up with their “heroes” to help raise money for charities by purchase digital items through the PlayStation HEROES App. ***

I've always wanted to sip some tea with Snoop Lion...

[BG11579]

Muaahaahaaa...
Wait, this is serious?!?

I love charity and all but, I was expecting something more related to, well new games...

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Why? They just had a PlayStation event in December.

[BG11579]

Because, more games is better...

[nX]

The problem here lies within your expectations though.

[calis]

Prime example of people taking a single bit of evidence and blowing it out of proportion to make it something bigger than it ever was going to be.

[knickstr]

Haha. How are you gonna play with puig. The guy hardly speaks any english.

[Tankbusta40]

That's not a problem for plenty who live in America

[Soldierone]

I would have been mad if I was an "MVP" and wasted money on a trip there just for this. I'd hope they informed me first or something because these "stars" are not even that great. I could jump online and call myself Shawn White and you'd have the same experience lol

Wasn't too hyped up to begin with so I don't really care.

[rhap]

First time hearing about this event.

[Skate-AK]

Seriously? It was for charity. Nobody should have anything negative to say about that.

[WelkinCole]

I don't care about celebrities but this is for charity so it is good.
