Thanks for the info, but i dont think theres anything we could read into this one.

I'd better not let the boss catch me dusting off the old C.V.

I love

"Please send your C.V. and salary expectations "

I am happy to undercut

"Gran Turismo is not just a game, it is one of the biggest brands in interactive entertainment."

Just in case we had any doubts, at least it shows Sony is serious about Gran Turismo continuing into the future...

I heard Jack Bauer already has the job. He has 24 hours to sell 1 trillion copies in the uk alone lol

"Yo dawg I heard you like GT. So I put a GT in your GT so you can drive while you drive"

Hmmm would be better with a pic of Xzibit lol

this is a person being paid a high amount of money set out to try and sell us anything with a GT badge.
they could take up watching daytime soaps and still be able pay the bills.

PD - I am a very busy schoolboy with no time to do your supposive *work*, but I need money, so why not give it to me and I'll sell the people your game - because we all know the fans and consumers need persuading.

I was made redundant in November, could this be the move I am looking for.

I am off now to doctor my cv.

First thing on my agenda would be to let the fans now what is going on. Vote for me

+1 for Grim!!!

It would be awesome if a GT fan we know of got the job - go for it Grim! Nothing to lose. Besides, GT games sell themselves, all you would have to do is spread the word... I have a feeling loads of people are waiting for GT5. Also, Prologue is still the biggest PS3 seller in a week of sales.

I've sent an email off to SCEE telling them that Mr G Reaper is the man for the job!

News just in According to scee "80% of applicants are part of a band of GT fans from a website/forum called GTPlanet"...... I bet that is exactly how it is for them haha btw if anyone asks what I just said is not a fact

No harm in trying - at least GT Planet applicants will have a passion for the game and cars / motorsport, and have a clue what fans want I'd much rather one of us got the job... I have a friend that works for SCEE in marketing and she doesn't own a Playstation or give much of a damn about games - she's just a good bull-*******

That's the deal with marketing, you don't have to believe in or even like the product your trying to sell ( it's got to help though ), as long as the buyer thinks you do, you will make sales. However with GT5, they shouldn't be much need to lie or much need to talk people into buying it, a lot of people will buy it just because it's a GT game, me included. The hard part of this job seems to be coming up with some other GT products and trying to sell them. Do people really want a Gran Turismo cup, or hat, or whatever else, I don't know. Good Luck to anyone who applies from here and I hope one of you gets the job.

haha I can just see it now. "Hi my name is [insert name here] and I'm from a place called scee. we market, manufacture playstation games. I'm here to tell you about our lates game. It's called Gran T" "SOLD!" haha

If anyone here gets the job, I would like to order a Gran Turismo keyring

EDIT: and one copy of GT5 (PAL) :P

"mates rates" please haha

I applied. I was also rejected.

I don't think it helps that I'm an American who hasn't graduated from college yet, would be a bit of a risk to pick a foreigner with no experience. I'll get them next time.
