On November of last year a group of PS3 owners who either signed up on the message boards or were PSN Plus members were given an opportunity to become beta testers for an upcoming rewards program that would reward users on their game play, trophies, purchases on the PSN and even quest. The plan was to have a one year test to iron out any problems that may happen. 
 
Well, on March 31st the beta will end, and some testers got an email saying the sad news of the wide release that was suppose to happen on April will not be happing. But hey, you testers will be getting a free t-shirt for your time!  
 
Many of the people involved with the beta complained about the lack of update time between things like quest or trophies and in some cases the odd hickup that for a period of time removed some points and completed quest from users. 
 
Sony said in the email that they are going to take this time to look into releasing the program at a later date.

Aw man, sounded like it could have been something.

It's been CANCLED

I get a free T-shirt? Awesome.

Damn shame, if it wasn't for those hacker assholes they'd had time for this.

It would be a smart move for Sony to implement something like this on the PS4, to assuage the complaints about the inevitably no longer free online.
