Sony Launches 'We are PlayStation' - Be Part of a PlayStation Ad Campaign

The rules are simple – capture the perfect image of you, your friends or your family enjoying a PlayStation moment with your PLAYSTATION3, PlayStation2 or PlayStation Portable and upload it to www.weareplaystation.com. There are different categories your photos could enter: Caught in the Moment, Unexpected Places, PlayStation Parties, True Love and Endless Play. A panel of guest judges will assess top user-rated snaps on their merits and work out which photographer deserves the top prize of 1000 euros and a Sony D-SLR a350 camera. Ten runners up will receive cash prizes of 100 euros each, while the next best 100 entries will get their hands on a top PlayStation game or vouchers for the PlayStation Store. All entries have the chance of being used in a future PlayStation marketing campaign.

Does making porn with the pseye count??

Godmars2905576d ago

But probably not in a good way - not counting yourself...

Cajun Chicken5576d ago

I certainly hope not.
I might get a vid of me and my friends playing Calling All Cars shouting over each other and trying not to kill each other when we steal the criminal last minute near the goal.
The way we play it at when at Uni term-time at the house is hillarious, its like a damn warzone.

"Boost! Boost!"
"Aaaaaah, f**k"
"F**k"
"You w**nker!"
"Argh! I hate you!"
"Noooooooooo!!!"

...etc.

BabyStomper50005576d ago

Or getting really, really, stoned and playing LBP in a smogged out room.... good times :)

and my brother is too small so I'm screwed, good luck to everyone that is taking part in this.

Makes people sound like products, rather that they use a product.

Apple's "I'm a Mac/PC" ads was the personification of a PC and Mac. MS's response came off more as itemizing the people who use their product. At least to me anyway.

GrammarPolice5576d ago

It's not like MS created this concept. Remember "I am Tiger Woods."

Godmars2905576d ago

But again, their's was in response to Apple's, which at least was funny. MS's came off more as annoying.

GrammarPolice5576d ago

I actually kind of liked them. I'm not a huge fan of MS, but they were almost damned if they did and damned if they didn't. I liked how there was a huge cross section of people saying the "I am a PC" line... directly opposing the Apple ad that it was old and tired Big Blue. I have a PC and I'm pretty happy with it... would not get a Mac as the PC does everything I need and integrates with what I do at work, with my relatives, etc. But I do enjoy the Apple commercials!

Report Claims Xbox Is Planning More Cuts Following Studio Closures

"The sudden closure of several video-game studios at Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox division was the result of a widespread cost-cutting initiative that still isn’t finished.

This week, Xbox began offering voluntary severance agreements to producers, quality assurance testers and other staff at ZeniMax, which it purchased in 2020 for $7.5 billion, according to people familiar with the company’s plans. Others across the Xbox organization have been told that more cuts are on the way.

Speaking about the closures more broadly, Booty said that the company’s studios had been spread too thin — like “peanut butter on bread” — and that leaders across the division had felt understaffed. They decided to close these studios to free up resources elsewhere, he said.

Game Pass has not seen the massive growth that Xbox boss Phil Spencer may have been hoping for."

Sense it seems very few remember that human's were around before 2020 the next studio to close will be bethesda based no doubt on the history of.

Fallout 76
Elder scrolls online
elder scrolls blades mobile
fallout mobile
The vr versions of old games

Then you got starfield pissing out cash nothing to cover it.

I doubt tod's team or any sub team is making m$ cash they are no doubt on the chopping block for job cuts

If you can remember before 2020 even fallout 76 was made with over 4 studios.

So what you're saying is...you bought all these studios and you guys can't run them.

Jesus.

Inverno4h ago

Spread thin after firing over 2000 employees a few months prior. So basically they created the problem and their solution was to just fire more people. Absolute geniuses over at Xbox, of course can we even believe this to be the reason for the closures?

Leaders can't run them hire more management create new roles don't shutter entire studios cause you can't figure out how to run them.

Unless the reality is this whole consolidation thing was really an excuse for IP harvesting

scareduser22m ago(Edited 21m ago)

Well just_looken is gone again

Everyone watch out crhistopher is online ready to defend his god sony

Anything remotely negative towards this company or any mention that is not praise you will be banned asap.

@Inverno

Reports are suggesting that Game Pass will be getting a price hike soon and that Call of Duty may not be added to the day one offering. I honestly have a hard time believing this but it does beg the question why exactly did GP fail? I think the answer is that it just didn't get the growth that it anticipated. Jim was right but I wish he wasn't because at the end of the day, its gamers, devs and other front-line workers who have to absorb the blow for Spencer and team's miscalculations.

And out of the ashes something even better than Xbox will be born.

Honestly as long as is not a situation where the industry has to contract in order focus wealth on a few people who are already trillionaires..

Tacoboto2h ago

I think 2022 killed the Series X.

2021 was a good year for Xbox though and maybe the best in a long long time, hardware and software and as a publisher. Halo Infinite launched to popularity, Forza Horizon 5 blew everyone away, Psychonauts 2 was so well received, Flight Simulator on console, Deathloop even on PS5 & PC.

But they followed that up with next to nothing. Then 2023 with Redfall, a disappointing Forza, Starfield, and 2024 leads with closures and layoffs. And some tweets reminding us Hellblade is days away.

The only disappointment with the PS5 is not enough Sony games. Xbox followed up no games with disappointing ones.

Scissorman4h ago

For all the armchair executives who were calling for Sony to release its big-budget AAA games on PS+, the same exact thing would have happened at PlayStation. Game Pass has killed Xbox. Congrats.

shinoff21834h ago

There's not many of of us clamoring for Sony to do this because most of us understand it would kill Playstation. I'm sure there's a few but I've not seen alot of it myself.
