Updated 02 December 2020

Get Paid $1,000 to Play Your Favorite Video Games

Wouldn’t it be great if you could get paid to play the video games you love? Well dream no more: WhistleOut is looking for an avid gamer to review the brand-new PlayStation 5—and we’ll pay you $1,000 to do it. You’ll even get to keep the console!

All you have to do is log at least 50 hours of playtime on the new machine, then provide a detailed review of the console by answering some questions at the end.

It really is that simple. There is a reason we are calling this a “dream job,” after all!

Who Should Apply?

In a word: GAMERS (capitalized for emphasis). We’re looking for brave souls who consider gaming a way of life, and who would think nothing of powering through 50 hours of play time.

If putting in some real hours on one of the hottest new consoles sounds like your version of “Happy Holidays,” we want to hear from you!

What You'll Get

A brand new PlayStation 5 (PS5) with Ultra HD Blu-Ray Disk Drive
$1,000
An optional appearance on WhistleOut’s YouTube channel to discuss the entire experience!

Requirements and Things You'll Need

As our expert PS5 reviewer, you’ll be able to use your gaming expertise to complete the following tasks:

Play a total of 50 hours
Answer a few questions about your experience with the console
Pay attention to your experience overall —think about things like online vs. offline experience, comparisons to older generations, download speeds, and new features

In order to get the best experience out of your new console, you’ll ideally have:

A television that supports 4K gaming, with HDMI support
A reliable internet connection

Dates and Deadlines

Applications closed at 9:00 a.m. (PST) on December 21st. 2020.
