Trademarks always start popping up in May, as companies register product names ahead of the big E3 convention in June. And as is the case every year, Sony's getting in on the act. GameSpot has uncovered an American trademark for something called The Player which has been filed by Sony Pictures Television. The interesting thing about this is that the registration pertains to both "video game software" and "a dramatic television series".
There's not a lot to go on here at all, so we'd recommend tempering your expectations as much as possible – but the platform holder has been toying with more PlayStation promoted media products of late, with the surprisingly successful Powers being a particularly good example. If it's planning some kind of cross-media experience – a game that ties in to a TV show, perhaps – then expect to hear more about it next month.
Of course, there's a good chance that this could be nothing of interest at all – we'll have to wait and see.

Sounds like a potentially good idea but I'll wait until E3
The Player...
Very cool name for a game, especially when it's also Sony's catchphrase...
... This Is For The Players...
Yay more TV 4 E3
Maybe a game for Sony's Project Morpheus where player becomes a super hero and fights to save the huge, virtual online world and a TV show about exactly the same thing (maybe with better developed version of Morpheus where virtual life plays a huge part of everyday, real life)?!
That would show that players are not nerds and geeks as stereotypes show, but instead are needed in the world, ego boost for all of us!
A game about pimps maybe? Haha, I'm just joking. Hopefully it's something cool though.
my guess is a reality TV show about competitive gaming
Good, I actually enjoyed Powers, can't wait for more Sony shows for us +Users.
Quantum Break.
