What is the beginning salary of a video game tester?

I need to know the starting salary and the maximum salary for a videogame tester...

Answers:
depends on the company, and state. I would say the national average for starting out is like $50k. Max, i'm sure QA (quality assurance) specialists for the big gaming companies make up to $150k. Remember, "game testers" do a lot more than play games. They write test cases, plans, bug reports etc.
I want to know where to get this job :)
Free games to test
3000 a month maybe
About the same as someone who claims to be a software engineer(eyes roll)...LOW!
I don't think 'tester' is a job title. They usually get the team that make the game to test it to extent. So maybe if you are a game developer, they will be like, woah, we've almost finished it, so how bout we all take home a beta and text it whilst we're not at work. Like that.
There's not a position for someone that tests video games, so you're actually going to have to work for a living.

That's why there are beta releases.

You'll have to be able to code, work with 3D modeling or something along those lines to make money in the field.
To test for Nintendo, about $10/hour ($20k/year) to start. I don't know if that really increases too much.
Starting salary might be the use of a game to test and report back on. Ending salary $200,000+
My friend does it for FREE, Just to play the games early. Most testers don't get payed at all.
