The thing was real. For the past 3 nights, I was testing Rachet & Clank. There was a room with like 10 tvs and PS2s with one of those mirrors where you see a reflection but the people on the other side can see you dealies in the back. They had vcrs connected to the PS2 so they could record whatever movements we were making in the game. Got fed North Beach pizza every night too. Took a short little survey at the end of my 20 hours (it was actually 19) then the guy gave me a check for unfitty. :)

p.s. if you're ever in the area, step inside teh sony building, it smells so nice. :D
