Playstation Rewards Announced

The Playstation Blog announced the creation of the Playstation Rewards program today.  This program is intended to reward users for "playing games and interacting with th entertainment content that PlayStation has to offer".

It's a three tier system ("Select", "Pro", "Legendary") that gives access to more and more generous rewards.  To earn credit toward these levels, you simply "Keep playing new games, buying content purchased from the 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..."

Exactly how much credit you get for games you play or content you buy remains to be seen.  Also as yet relatively unknown is what rewards you will get.  Currently listed as examples are PSN avatars displaying member status in the program, exclusive dynamic themes and PlayStation Home content, and members-only sweepstakes and giveaways.

Invitations are going out today to all "eligible" members of the Gamer Advisory Panel and PlayStation Plus subscribers.  Eligibility is not defined anywhere in the post.  There doesn't appear to be much of any great value that everyone participating can get, but this is new, so hopefully some more meaningful content will find its way into the program.
