Dille: “Some cool stuff” in the works for PlayStation Network

Sony Computer Entertainment Senior Vice President of Marketing & PlayStation Network Peter Dille has teased that “some cool stuff” is in the works for the PlayStation Network; however, he cannot make any announcements.

“Well, I don’t want to make any announcements that we’re not ready to make,” Dille told IGN, “but I would say the continued enhancement of all the services, making it more user friendly, addressing UI — there’s some cool stuff that I’ve seen in the works that hopefully we’ll be able to talk about a little bit more and show you guys and the community.”

“I think original programming is another goal. We’ve put our toe in that for a while now with programs like Qore and Pulse, and you probably know we’re going to be launching an exclusive program on the PlayStation Network called The Tester. It’s reality TV meets gaming, where we’re actually going to put a bunch of folks through the paces and decide who gets to have a job here as a tester, which is for these guys a dream job. It’s a lot of fun and something that you might see on TV. It’s that type of original programming that helps differentiate the platform and helps tip the balance to people making a decision to get on board with PlayStation versus the competition because they can get things here they can’t get anywhere else. So we want to build a best-in-class service with PlayStation Network and make improvements across the board.”

While The Tester is something new and original for the PlayStation Network, I think I’m more interested in the “continued enhancement” that they’re bringing to the service.
