Test BioShock, Make Some Scratch [January 29, 2007, 4:39 pm ET] - Viewing Comments
2K Games is to pay some folks in the NYC to play test BioShock, though from the accompanying questionnaire it sounds as though this is focused on the Xbox 360 edition of the upcoming science fiction shooter. Here's word:

    We’re looking for people who can come and play BioShock in the 2K offices in SoHo. We're looking for people who can come play for 3 hours a day, for 3 days in a row. You'll get $10 an hour, and get to play 9 hours of BioShock. Testing will start this Wednesday, so please fill out the questionnaire below if you are interested. Time blocks are a bit flexible: 3-6, 4-7, 5-8, or 6-9 are all possible. You must be able to come for all 3 days (i.e. Wednesday-Friday of this week). Please clearly state your availability in the questionnaire!

I'd apply if I lived near NYC.

Bah, would be cool if it was a beta that was available to download or something.  Going to their office is really limiting.

[PyroMenace]

Yea but considering that they are paying you, you'd have to put in some effort.

[Pugnate]

That's pretty cool!

I'd bitch about lack of keyboard and mouse the entire time.
