If previous Buzz! titles have been individual gameshows, this is a whole TV network. Buzz!: Quiz TV gives you instant access to almost any subject you can think of, and will be supported by vast downloadable and user-generated content. If there was ever a time to pick up Buzz!’s famous quiz show buzzer controllers, this is it.The starting point next March (2008) will be the Buzz!: Quiz TV Blu-ray disc. It’ll contain a whopping 5000 questions divided into five channels with something for every quiz fanatic to choose from: The Music Channel; The Movies and TV Channel; The Sports Channel; The Knowledge Channel; and The Lifestyle Channel. Choose between playing a whole game with questions from a single channel or select 'Channel Hopper' mode to take a random mix of questions drawn from all five. Whichever way you play, the Buzz! studio and lighting – all, of course, in stunning High Definition - will change to reflect the topic that you are being quizzed on.

Of course let’s not forget the man himself. Buzz - the sharp-suited quiz maestro you know and love is already working hard to update his repertoire of quips and asides for this next-generation title - but even the man himself would be hard pressed to crack wise about any of the following stunning online features that you’ll find on Buzz! Quiz TV.

The fun doesn’t end with the Blu-ray Disc; it’s actually just beginning. The disc is a gateway to a huge variety of constantly-updated downloadable Quiz Packs available from PlayStation Store on PLAYSTATION Network. Many will be specific to individual countries or even towns – just imagine playing a quiz on your local football team, for example.
