Sony Introduces Playstation Rewards

Sony is rolling out a new program for its loyal Playstation users dubbed Playstation Rewards. The aim of the program is to give those loyal users something in return for all the time they spend playing games, as well as their purchases from Playstation Home and PSN.

 PlayStation Rewards is designed to give you the opportunity to gain exclusive status, recognition, and rewards as a thank you for your continued interest in PlayStation. And, the best part is that you don’t have to do anything different. Keep playing new games, buying content purchased from PlayStation Network in the PlayStation Store and PlayStation Home, download movies and TV shows, or just communicate with us by taking one of our surveys, for example, and you’ll now be recognized for it.

The more you play and participate, the more progress you’ll make through our three reward tiers — “Select,” “Pro,” and “Legendary.” As your status increases, so do the rewards. And if you want to check out your current status level, simply go to your private profile page and look at the reward progress meter. 

Currently, the program is available to select Playstation Plus and GAP members as they iron out the features and setups. Once Sony is happy with the beta phase and feel the program is working properly, all Playstation members will be eligible for it. The program is also not limited to just the Playstation 3, but will cover PSP purchases and other Sony activities. Other rewards include:

  • Exclusive PSN avatars that display member status in the program
  • Exclusive dynamic themes and PlayStation Home content
  • Opportunities throughout the program year to participate in members-only sweepstakes and giveaways for experiences and merchandise you won’t find elsewhere (The first of which is an all expenses paid trip to the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, as PlayStation’s guest)

Currently, I’ve been selected for this program and have enrolled into it. I’ll report back to everybody once I find out more about it and Sony rolls out some more features.
