Sony has recently filed a trademark for a program dubbed, “P.S. Thanks“. Aside from the obscure title, not much was known about this program. The description stated that it was,
“[An] incentive rewards program geared toward quantifying, identifying and motivating top consumer base with the goal of promotion and sale of video game hardware and software.”
It definitely sounds like an interesting concept. Just like the PlayStation Underground program and, more exclusively, the Game Advisory Panel, Sony may use P.S. Thanks as a program where they will reward active members within the PlayStation community.
Sony has commented on the finding of P.S. Thanks.
“We have a long history of creating unique loyalty programs such as PlayStation Underground, which started with the original PlayStation and has evolved into the Gamer Advisory Panel. We continue to look for ways to expand this program and we are evaluating new naming conventions for this evolution, which is why we filed a trademark for PlayStation Thanks.”

this could be very cool, especially rewarding players for loyalty.. always a cool thing
if this is true… i better be on their damn list
it would be awesome to be thanked with free exclusive clothes on Home.
where’s my cookie Sony? I’ve been supporting you for long time too
thanked with free exclusive clothes on Home??? That’s the best you can ask for?? I’m hoping it goes beyond a Qore membership and gives you even more exclusive access to demos, betas, etc. It would also be cool to earn a free PSN game after a while. I loved getting my Playstation Underground stuff in the mail when I was playing the original PS, so it would be awesome to receive stuff like that over PSN or something. I wouldn’t worry about “being on the list” either, I think everyone was offered a membership into Underground, so I’m sure every PS3 owner will be offered a membership into this program as well.
I wonder what they will be using to judge. I spend a lot of money in the PSstore, I run Life with Playstation quite a bit, and I have owned every system they ever put out. thats gotta count for something.
hopefully backwards compatible towards what you purchased (like games)
Yeah, I think you’re in, darkangel
Good idea but I don’t see how they will keep track of people. There are lifetime playstation fans like myself who are not invited to anything. Whether it be demo’s, beta’s, you name it.
I still think it’s kind of Random who they select, My buddy got a GAP invite a coulpe of years ago and he had only had a PS3 for 2 months with nothing from sony prior, just Nintendo consoles and an XBOX
I like the name. It’s pretty clever.
Steven,
We’re glad you like the name of our new rewards program.

P.S. Thanks.

Sweet I got a notice in the mail the other day about this……..
Nah j/k I never get the fun stuff , but this is just a filing for something that may mor maynot ever come to fruition.
this mean trophies will mean more then just to show off?
