For hire: Sony Japan looking for ‘new game machine’ testers
Folks hoping to fan rumors of the fabled PSP 2 will surely have a field day over this. The other day, a job posting made public by Sony Japan has the Internets whirring like crazy. See, SCEJ is looking for people to test some “new game machine” of theirs. The job listing didn’t give any details about what it is, of course, but it did say it’s going to be some new hardware for the PlayStation brand.

What’s this new hardware? Well, translations of the job description vary, but the common thread here is that the people they hire will be tasked to evaluate and assess the new hardware which is to be part of the PlayStation brand – namely, the “PS3, PSP, PS2, and its peripherals.” Vague much? Vague indeed.
Right now, it could be anything from an upgraded version of their three current platforms (a PSP-4000? PSP 2? PS3 Slim? Who knows…) or maybe it’s just a peripheral. Part of the job description also notes that those who get hired will “test game machines not yet released or new functionality of PS3 peripherals before they are released.”
Whatever the case, something’s definitely cooking in Sony Japan’s labs. As for what that is, only time will tell. Blu-ray UMDs? *shrug* It’s really anyone’s guess. If you really want a front-row seat to see where this goes, the only chance would probably to apply for the job itself!
