Sony hosted a pretty awesome Buzz! charity event at the PlayStation lounge last night. Sixteen players from various media outlets (Joystiq included) partook in the competition. The winner would be able to send $5,000 to a charity of their choice, courtesy of Sony.
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.
Little Caesar Enterprises, Inc. and Pepsi today announced a national scratch-off game promotion "Buzz in to Win" in cooperation with Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA). This promotion includes national marketing and advertising components and offers Little Caesars' customers across the country a chance to win one of 450 PlayStation Trivia Prize Packs, including BUZZ! games, PLAYSTATION 3, PlayStation 2, and PSP. BUZZ! trivia games bring an immersive game show experience for up to eight players straight to your living room.
"Little Caesars provides consumers high-quality pizza and other products at a great value, and with this promotion, everyone is a winner," said Linda "LJ" Jaworski, senior vice president of marketing and communications, Little Caesar Enterprises, Inc. "Little Caesars is excited to team up with Pepsi and SCEA to offer our customers even more fun, food and entertainment."
Your biggest game ever (with a lot at stake) is about to come out and you decide to market BUZZ? Your marketing dept this gen = tards
I know KZ2 is going to sell a lot of games and some systems but it could have been a lot more. geeez.
"Little Caesars provides consumers high-quality pizza"
Umm ya I guess if you like eating cardboard.
Along with titles like EyeToy and SingStar, Sony's Buzz! line of quiz games for the PlayStation 2 have been part of a concerted effort on the part of the electronics giant to court a more mainstream audience with its gaming console. However, one company already well established in serving that sector's trivia needs thinks Sony's family friendly is a little too familiar.
Carlsbad, California-based Buzztime Entertainment has filed suit against Sony Computer Entertainment Europe in the Southern District of California, alleging that the Buzz! line of games and the "It's time to get buzzing" tagline violate several of its own trademarks.
That's just ridiculous, none of the trademarks were violated. They're probably just mad that they're losing business.
or the latino, or maybe to fix the arabs image that zionest destroyed!!
sony is a nice company to invest and support!
