Buzz!: Quiz TV (developed under the working title Buzz! PS3), developed by Relentless Software and Sleepydog, is the seventh game in the Buzz! series of quiz games and the first to appear on the PlayStation 3 console. It debuts new wireless Buzz! controllers, as well as new game rounds. It is the first Buzz! game to feature user created content and online play. Buzz! Quiz TV was one of the first games to support the PlayStation 3 trophy system, and the first online game to support the feature. The game is available in a game only (Solus) version or in a bundle which includes 4 of the new wireless Buzz! Buzzers, a USB dongle for wireless connectivity (each dongle can connect 4 buzzers to the PlayStation 2 or PlayStation 3).
An updated version of Quiz TV has been announced. Buzz!: Quiz TV - Special Edition will comprise the already released updates plus some of the question packs that were available via the PlayStation Store.Buzz!: Quiz TV fully supports Game Launching in PlayStation Home as of September 10, 2009.
Players are able to create their own quizzes via a website called "MyBuzz!" David Amor, the creative director, in an interview with IGN stated that users would be able to freely create their own question packs which will be completely moderated by other users via user ratings, and a special "report content" button will flag inappropriate packs, as well as a parental guidance monitor to prevent free downloading by minors. Each user created question pack has eight questions, and individual packs can be linked consecutively.
This feature is no longer available. SCE and Relentless have shut down the server that handles this function. The website, that users visited to create their own quizzes, now redirects to the generic Buzz website.
V1.01 was released on 6 August 2008 and introduced compatibility with the PlayStation 3 Trophies system. It also allows up to four controllers to be used in Sofa vs Sofa mode meaning multiple players on the same console can share a character and all answer questions in an online match.
V1.10 update released on 9 September 2008 added four new characters, new costumes for every existing character, ten new buzzer noises and support for the PlayStation Eye.
