I get to go to one finally. I didn't qualify for the first call, couldn't make the second time, so third time's a charm right? I'll be spending a day playing games this weekend for Microsoft.

If you haven't signed up, you can sign up at www.microsoft.com/playtest/default.mspx I think it might always be in WA State...so unless you want to drive or live close, don't sign up.

Hopefully it will be something like BF3, but I may get stuck with Viva Pinata 3.....which I'm sure I could still spend hours playing.....:dodgy:

Play games, eat lunch, take home some games afterward.....

very nice, I am jealous

wow have a lot of fun for all of us.

Awesome! Good luck and have fun.

If they give you name tags, maybe you put BBF on yours? lol

I think it would be a First Party MS game that you get to playtest rather than an EA game. Maybe Halo?

Seems like it is in WA:
www.microsoft.com/playtest/directions.mspx

Seems cool...

Watching the video they posted, Black Ops was one of the games they did the playtest with, and it isn't an MS game.

Wow, did not know. They have a great play testing department. I knew a guy who came from there and he knew his stuff.

let us know how it goes and what you end up getting. Have fun, get us some new members. Some tech guys from within MS would be nice..

congrats on being selected.

You sure thats the correct list games? A few of those games have been out for a good amount of time. Games like Halo Wars and Gears which have dieing or dead online communities.

Either way tho its pretty neat. It's just to bad we won't know what u tested.[/i]


No. We ask all participants to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) prior to testing. We take this agreement very seriously. This document states that you will not discuss any aspect of the study or the game being tested outside of Microsoft -- indefinitely. You can say that you were at Microsoft, and that you participated in a Playtest, but in order to participate you must agree not to talk about any specifics, such as: game title, graphics, features, etc. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

Paco can't tell us what he gets to play

Yay i just did a playtest in Redmond todayand i got Microsoft Office Professional 2010. Thanks for posting the link Paco. It was pretty legit.
