It's been a busy few months for Sony's irritating Aussie quizmaster, with Buzz! Quiz TV and Buzz! Master Quiz hitting PS3 and PSP respectively. Now though, it looks like our titular hero's taking a break from the big time quiz circuit with the arrival of Buzz! Brain Bender – Sony's very own take on the Brain Training formula.
WorthPlaying contacted SCEA to find out if it planned to match the PSPgo Rewards program announced by SCEE this morning and was told that Sony had no plans at this time to match the European offer.
"There hasn't been any announcement yet that there will be an equivalent rewards program for North America..."

This is sad .. the Euros are getting stuff, and here in the US they havent even figured out the UMD issue yet either.
Don't they realize this thing is coming out like SOON
There are over 1.7 million user generated questions in the game Buzz.
I made 200 useless questions, myself. Just 25 sets of 8 questions (junk) for the silver trophy (and it was my final needed to platinum Buzzz). I imagine a HUGE number of the questions are similarly worthless.

The sight of Mr Buzz, preening and pirouetting before a static laboratory background barely engages you, and the figurehead is almost completely irrelevant to the proceedings. There is something saddening seeing the once gregarious showman turn up in such a flimsy product - as if we are witnessing the fall from grace and subsequent dismal resurrection of a one-loved entertainer fallen out of favour. If Mr Buzz's career survives this excursion, surely his next port of call is whoring fake Rolexes on a daytime shopping channel. He is irksome, and unnecessary. Compare that with the miniature charm of Dr Kawashima in the Brain Training game that so blatantly "inspired" this waste of a UMD."
