Biographical/Historical Note
Jeff Hoffman worked as a Merchandising Account Representative for the
Los Angeles office of Sony Computer Entertainment, where he accumulated the
materials in these papers as part of his job.
Scope and Contents
Materials document variety and extent of marketing efforts conducted
by Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE). All materials in this collection were
used for promotional purposes and then discarded; they were never sold in
stores. The game titles represented were all developed by SCE exclusively for
the Sony PlayStation 2 or 3 consoles, as well as the PlayStation Portable (PSP)
platform. The marketing materials included in the papers direct their messages
to two distinct audiences: the consumer and the retailers who sell the games to
the consumers. Materials directed toward the consumer were to be placed at the
“point of purchase” by the retailer.
