Advertisers/marketers want to know everything about their customer base. It helps them to better relate to the customer within their business plan. It is a bit awkward, but it's business.

It sounds like Sony is gearing up for some type of dating simulator to broaden the market for female gamers who make up 35% of the console community. I thought thats what Home was for, but it would make sense in asking such personal questions to all their users. If anything, I see this as a good thing. Female gamers have always been seen as a bit underground and rare, but praised. If this isn't the case, then Sony could just be testing their loyalty to see what they can get away with. Ether way, its good to know as much as you can about your audience if its to make a better product imo.

Looks like a hoax, children is spelled wrong and they write "Playstation" instead of "PlayStation." Two mistakes an official survey wouldn't make.

yeah but if it was a hoak, how would the get our email adress. It must have been from sony then, because there no way someone would have been able to get everyones email adress. And sony wouldnt make a hoax, they would probley get sued

It seems like its geared toward trying to find out age and how committed to the Sony brand the audience is. It could be for that stupid show or their next big marketing push.

DS/PSP I guess, but that's not PS3. That a weird survey though, I want one of those emails so I can see the questions for myself.

Oh and to that person that said it had to be official for the people to know our account information (you may not have said had to) there's a lot of your information out there you don't know about. I don't think it would be that hard to figure out our emails had a PSN account linked to them. I could be wrong but I've seen some things like this done before to some of my friends.

This. And I wouldn't be surprised if this survey has something to do with Playstation Home.

IMO If you didn't pick video games over family you're not a true gamer.

They are probably looking to see if they should release more family oriented games to force more social situations in us. Its not that odd

Meh, I was kind of hoping it would be even more invasive and personal. I wanted to fill it out.
