   Devry University actually has a program for video game programming and may be able to help. You may want to learn how to put them together in order to learn how to test them. It will give you an edge over other testers. Anyway, also check the game sites (online gamesites similar to WOW or Star Trek) and get in touch with video game companies. My boyfriend and some of my friends have gotten opportunities by just being on the mailing list.
   Just whatever you do, DO NOT pay for the opportunity to test games. There is someone on Craigslist asking people to pay money for a list of video game testing opportunities.

   You should be able to find beta testing opportunities from game forums of the official game website. You can also look at career opportunities at gaming websites as they have game tester positions available. Many times you will have to go to location though.
