Imagine the most boring thing in the world. Now imagine something even more boring than that. That was Playstation Rewards in a nutshell.

lol thanks so far i undrstand it is boring but how does it work?

Essentially its getting free things like Avatars and Themes for doing stuff on the PSN and your PS3.  Like going on Home, playing games, buying things from the PS Store, getting specific trophies for certain games.  There were 3 levels for the rewards,  and you got more stuff at each level.  

I was in the Beta

so why was it cancelled I wonder if its that straight forward?

Well the email I got about it said nothing about it being canceled,  it sounded like it was just being delayed.   Here it is:

Hi BIG_Daddy_99,

We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your participation in the PlayStation®Rewards Beta, which is ending on March 31st. Your feedback helped us understand the kinds of things that make you feel appreciated and valued.

Based on what we learned, we have decided the program is not ready to roll out to the public in April as originally planned. But rest assured, we will continue to thank loyal and devoted customers like you with innovative offerings.

In the meantime, to show how much we appreciated your participation, we made you a special and exclusive PlayStation® T-shirt. This limited edition shirt will be mailed to beta testers who have reached either Select, Pro or Legendary status by March 31, 2011. Please make sure your mailing address is up-to-date on your PlayStation®Network account.

Thanks again for your participation and feedback.

Sincerely,
PlayStation®Rewards Team

Can I call you big daddy from now on?
