There are a lot of reasons why someone might want to check out a guide like T Dub Sanders'. One might be interested in the underside of the game testing field. Others might just want to know what they can gain from a guide that is written to help people understand their role in the gaming industry. Others still are just pining for that ultimate career working alongside game developers and designers.

Whatever the reason, T Dub Sanders has put together one of the biggest and best game testing guides on the market – one that shows the underpinnings of the career in their raw, real format. There are no false promises of automatic testing or sitting at home and playing the newest games for hundreds of dollars a day.

That stuff is all pretty much a pipe dream and most people know it – yet many guide writers try to tell everyone that they can become the biggest and best new game testers in a field that doesn't really exist every day and too many fall for it. On the other hand, what T Dub has put together is a much more realistic, much more comprehensive look at what game testing is really about – the hard work and dedication that goes into becoming someone in charge of all that code each day.

By showing what it really takes to be a game tester, T Dub opens up an actual, realistic path to getting into the industry. He showcases skills needed to get started as a tester, the classes or college majors that people better be willing to invest in if they want to be a professional in this field and much more to help them figure out not only if the career path is right for them but if they are going to be cut out for it. That means a great deal for someone who may or may not know exactly what a game tester does and how it operates.

For anyone that is thinking about taking the path toward becoming a game tester, one of the first things that needs to be done is to learn more about what the career entails. Those people should pick up T Dub's newest guide and get a real insider's look at the job and how it really works. If you're serious about doing what T Dub shows you, you'll be on the fast track toward game testing in no time flat.

PS4 price revealed by Sony India, listing now removed

You are here: Home » News » PS4 price revealed by Sony India...

Posted May 20th, 2013 at 13:58 EDT by Kyle Prahl3 Comments

A product listing on the official Sony India website may have revealed the PlayStation 4 price ahead of its E3 2013 coming-out party.

The PlayStation faithful have been dying to know what PS4 looks like and how much it will cost since its reveal in February. The Sony India product page, which has since been removed, allegedly listed a base model of the console with a 250 GB hard drive for...

€399.

There are no currently available screengrabs of the now-missing product page, so this rumor should be taken with plenty of salt until one surfaces. The news was seemingly first reported by German gaming site Playfront.de before being spotted by NeoGAF. There, forum posters indicate that, while 399 Euros converts to roughly 513 US dollars, a direct conversion is almost never valid for game console sales. Case in point: at launch, the PlayStation Vita sold for €250 and $250. Another example: the PlayStation 2 launched for $299 and "2990 French Francs, which is equivalent to 450 Euros."

Early speculation about PS4's price pegged $399 as the sweet spot for a base model, but 250GB sounds like a woefully small hard drive. It's also difficult to believe that Sony would make a mistake of this magnitude with such crucial timing--this has intentional leak written all over it, in which case the PlayStation nation should have every confidence that PS4 will launch somewhere around the $399/€399 mark.

Of course, Playfront.de could also be trolling PlayStation fans with a fake URL and fake story, so continue to treat this story as rumor until evidence surfaces. We are currently investigating, and will update this story as we find and hear more.

Will you pay $399 for a PS4 at launch? What accessories or bundles do you expect to see on store shelves? Are you more interested in a higher-price SKU with more hard drive space?
