Beta Game Testers Needed: GameStop

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.

GameStop taking unlimited PS4 pre-orders

Posted June 21st, 2013 at 13:46 EDT by Ernest Lin7 Comments

A leaked memo was sent this morning from American gaming retailer GameStop to their employees, telling them that Sony has given the go-ahead to take unlimited pre-orders of the upcoming PlayStation 4 console.

The memo reads, "Starting now, through this weekend and until further notice, Sony has allowed us to take unlimited preorders beyond your current allotments. In other-words, the flood gates are open for PS4 system reserves, we will let you know when to stop preordering based on limited quantities."

GameTrailers acquired the memo from a source and verified it with another source as well. Reportedly one GameStop store originally began with 24 PS4 pre-orders available then saw the number available rise to 138. Last week, GameStop executives told Sony Computer Entertainment America CEO Jack Tretton they would buy "every single unit" that could be manufactured.

One has to wonder how many PS4 systems Sony will have produced by this year's end. Have you pre-ordered yours yet? Do you think it will sell out? Let us know in the comments & stay tuned to PSU for breaking news on everything PlayStation.

PS4, Xbox One to launch at cheaper price than their predecessors, says GameStop

You are here: Home » News » PS4, Xbox One to launch at cheap...

Posted May 24th, 2013 at 03:59 EDT by Mike Harradence11 Comments

Retail giant GameStop said in its post-earnings financial call this week that it expects next-generation machines from Sony and Microsoft to launch at a cheaper entry point than PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

The company’s chief financial officer, Ro Lloyd, said that PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will release at a “lower opening price than they did last cycle.”

PS3 was released in the U.S. in November 2006 and came in two flavours: 20GB and 60GB, which cost $499 and $599, respectively.

Xbox 360 on the other hand launched a year earlier and retailed for $399 and $299 for the 20GB Premium and Core units, respectively.

Sony will launch the PS4 in holiday 2013, with Microsoft also releasing the Xbox One later this year.

How much do you think PS4 will cost? Let us know your thoughts below.

PS4, Xbox One games can be resold confirms GameStop boss

You are here: Home » News » PS4, Xbox One games can be resol...

Posted May 22nd, 2013 at 08:20 EDT by Mike Harradence8 Comments

The president of GameStop has confirmed that PlayStation 4 and Xbox One games can be resold at the retail giant’s stores.

Tony Bartel told Forbes: “Both Sony and Microsoft have said games can be resold and that’s exactly what we anticipated. It’s a recognised way to make these games more affordable. All three new platforms understand that.

“As people upgraded to PS3 they traded in their old systems and libraries, which is why Sony made the move to not support backwards compatibility with later iterations of PS3. That’s why the ‘buy, sell, trade’ model works well. It enables people to purchase new games by trading in their old ones. We expect to see the same thing with this transition for PS4 and Xbox One. Trade-ins allow for a seamless transition.”

Bartel also dispelled the perception that retailers such as GameStop and GAME generate most of their cash through resells: GameStop actually made 70% of its $1 billion market sales from the sales of new products.

Microsoft unveiled the successor to the Xbox 360 during a special event yesterday, while Sony announced PS4 back in February.

Both systems will be out later this year.
