Looking for a PS3 owner that can write

edited November 2007 in Video Games
I've been getting some requests from PS3 game publishers to review their games but I do not have a PS3, nor do any of my other video game writers. If you have a PS3 and you can write a game review I am offering free games in exchange for your review.

These are generaly Konami titles and other lesser known companies making the offers of free games.

    I'll do it if you pay me, as I know you're making money off the site.

    Most of the games companies send small-time press are total horse shit. They're not worth getting for free.

    If I was making money off of the site I would buy my own PS3.

    So there are no ads on the site whatsoever?

    The ads are CPA ads and no one clicks on them. The few no ones who do click do not buy things. The potential to make money is there but since most of the content is geared towards people who would block/ignore ads I have not made any money with the site. I would like to make money on the site so I can afford to buy a PS3 and HDTV but the income stream has not yet materialized.

    As for the other argument of only recieving shit games, you have to be arstechnica or kotaku to get free copies of the good shit. We are talking a million plus hits a day for the big companies to send you free shit. I pull down in a month what those guys pull down in an hour in regards to traffic. Until I get enough content and a following to pull down such numbers I will only be getting free copies of shit games.

    So basically you want someone to play shit games for you until you start making enough money to buy all the stuff required to make tons of money and get the good games?

    Awesooooooooooooooooome.

    Maybe there are just too many sites out there with the same content.

    It's the American dream! Besides, being a podcaster in your own right you could probably get the same free games I get on your own.

    Most of my writers are personal friends that I have known for ten years or more. When free stuff comes in we divy it up. Same thing with advertising revenue (as small as it is). Of those who I have not known as long all of them are webmasters themselves and for them I use my social media connections to drive traffic to their sites, thus benefiting them in an indirect way.

    I don't want shitty free games. I'm already having enough trouble trying to dodge the ones from the magazine, which pays me what amounts to a slave wage to review them in articles that are now so short (400 words, seriously guys?) that you'd need a magnifying glass to read them.

    I do not claim to be a journalist or an English major.

    Are you looking for some specific game?

    No, just as I get offers in from publishers.

    Well I don't personally own a PS3 but I do have access to one and just about any game on it. So if you let me know what you want written I may be able to do it.
