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

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:

And as far as it being straight forward,  It wasnt very difficult.  Everything you did on PSN and your PS3 was assigned a point value,  what those were no one was told.  And there were 3 tiers of the reward system, Select, Pro, Legendary.   The more stuff you did the more points you would accrue and higher up the teirs you would go.  There was also a list of activities that would earn you bonus points for completing. One was as simple as just visiting the Town Square in Home.
