We have a very exciting event and product test for you to take part in - PlayStation would like to invite 20 Mumsnetters to attend an event in central London this Saturday (10 Nov) to showcase their new Book of Spells game. Here's a word from PlayStation about this magical new game: "The Book of Spells will be one of the must have family gifts this Christmas. It's a book that, with the help of PlayStation, literally comes to life on your TV screen, letting you live in the stories you love.
Featuring exclusive new and original writing from J.K. Rowling, Wonderbook: Book of Spells sends you on a fantastic journey to read and learn the secrets of wizardry and the art of spell-casting, just like a student at Hogwarts. On the way, you'll discover, practice and be tested on over 20 classic spells, such such as Incendio, Wingardium Leviosa and Expelliarmus."
For more info on the game see here.
We're looking for 20 Mumsnetters who:
~ Have at least one child aged 7-10 years (boy or girl)
~ Are able to attend an event in central London between 12 and 4pm (you only need to attend for one hour during that time) with their family (max 2 adults, 4 children)
~ Are happy to be filmed by PlayStation, and take some footage on their smartphone of their child(ren) before, during and after the event to capture the excitement!
~ Can be a PlayStation Mumsnet panellist afterwards - this will involve taking part in 4 activities over the course of the next year, such as testing new games with their child(ren) and much more
The event will be in a central London location (we'll confirm details with those selected). Travel expenses aren't covered but refreshments will be provided. If you sign up to attend during one of the lunchtime slots though, you will need to have some lunch before or after you attend - the refreshments provided will just be snacks.
You will only be required to attend for one hour, so please tick your first and second choices of time slots on the sign up survey (link below). During your session you and your family will be shown how to set up the game, how to play and you'll be given the opportunity to film your child(ren) playing the game.
After the event you'll be sent a Wonderbook PS3 hard bundle (PS3 console, Move Controller, PlayStation Eye, Wonderbook & Book of Spells) to keep (RRP £199). You'll need to film your child(ren) playing the game at home and send in your footage to Mumsnet. You'll also need to add your feedback on the event, and the game itself on a thread on Mumsnet.
The footage you and other Mumsnetters submit, as well as the footage PlayStation capture on the day may appear on Mumsnet and potentially elsewhere. Please only sign up for this if you're happy with that.
If you're interested in taking part, please sign up here.
Thanks - we'll be in touch with selected Mumsnetters by Thurs (8 Nov).

Oh yes, MN scarf
Anyway I have a problem - can't see how to download the video. Go to the app on my Samsung Galaxy. It says to add it by either a photo or something else. If I click photo it only brings my photos up, no videos. If I click the other option it all seems to be kindle books.
The video is definetly on my phone, I've just watched it, its in my gallery with loads of my photos. But how do I get it uploaded?
That's the one Scorpion that I clicked.
The technology malarky is scary
My video is a little bit too long. A minute, I hope it does not matter, I am sure they can cut it. I am not able to cut. I wasted some seconds filming my floor.
Not sure it has "saved", I added the video, the title and the description. It wont let me upload until the next footage, I hope it is not "lost".
I can't get mine to upload still 
it just says HOLD YOUR HORSES, you haven't fulfilled the brief?! I think I have to wait until I've done the other video
Have I stuffed up already?
I did a video of me telling dd. it didn't seem to be long enough. I saw something saying you could do videos of the dc asking questions, etc so did a video of that and uploaded that as well.
Was that meant to be videoed on the way there? I'm going to do another video on the train on the way down anyway!

VivaLaBeaver when I started filming our two last night DS was cheering in an OTT manner, DD was very quiet and then burst into tears 
!
Is your DD feeling better this morning? Hope so...
