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 is actually cheaper than you think

You are here: Home » News » PS4 is actually cheaper than you...

Posted July 1st, 2013 at 08:40 EDT by Will Robinson8 Comments

If you bought a game console this generation, especially the PlayStation 3, you are probably relieved to see that launch prices have dropped overall for next-gen consoles. Many couldn’t believe that the PS3’s successor was announced to be sold for two hundred dollars less than it was launched for back in 2006. What’s even more surprising is when inflation is taken into account. Thanks to Ars Technica, we can see how valuable the PlayStation 4’s price tag really is.

As you can see in the chart below, consoles throughout history are shown at their original price point in green and what that equivalent monetary value would be today. With inflation taken into account, the PlayStation 4 is almost three hundred dollars cheaper than its older sibling. The Xbox One, although set to release at one hundred dollars more than the Xbox 360, is actually only twenty-three dollars more when inflation is considered.

In comparison with some past systems, particularly the Neo Geo (released 1991) and the 3DO (released 1993) with a current price equivalence of over $1000, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are two of the cheaper consoles to be released in gaming history.

What do you make of the chart data? Which of these systems did you get on release? Were you one of the people who bought the Neo Geo or 3DO? Let us know in the comments below.
