there are people who get piad to play video games as testers. Trust me it's not as glamourous as you'd think. Imagine playing the same level 100 times in one day and not playing to play but trying to do things most wouldn't in video games to ensure there are no glitches the pay isn't the BEST in the world either. I've read a few articles from people and all have said it's an ok job but it's repititive not as fun as you might think BUT if you don't mind trying to find things wrong with a game and if that's your style i'd reccomend e-mailing a few video games company's trying to contact some of the magazines and see if they can point you in the right direction.

There are ways to make money playing new video games. There are game companies and market research firms will give you their new games, new consoles and controllers or similar products so that you can test them. Then you record your thoughts and then they send you payment. The only trick is gathering a list of the legit companies.

Yes, they get paid very little to test unfinished games. Video Game Testers work long hours for little money. You can also get paid to play video games and write game reviews. If your looking for work on finished games to just sit around your house and play, good luck finding a job like that and if you do email me.

you can get paid for playing video games. You can get into it by looking for it on http://www.google.com or video game websites such as http://www.cheatcc.com or http://www.cheatplanet.com have ads for it but read what you are getting yourself into because sometimes things like that are a scam.

Yes... my one friend use to do it a while ago... I think you have to go to the guys who make them... See, they need people to test their games before they can put them on the market... something like that...
