A paycheck if you can get lucky to get in with a development company or QA company that does 3rd party testing.

I highly doubt that playtesting games for money is fun.

Well, you did say "cool thing" and nothing about fun. Yeah, it can be fun, it can be tedious. A job is a job no matter how much you love it and there's always going to be parts that annoy.

Haven't done much in the way of "beta testing" major releases myself recently, but do have more than a few pre-release games that have developers that don't look like they're abandoning projects. Not sure if that counts or not.

I met a guy that play tested games for a living, he said that 90% of the time it was just testing out jumping and attack combos over and over again until they got it perfect.

Yeah, It's probably quite shit.
People think that you will get to play games all day and get paid for it. You indeed probably will. But you will have to play the same level over and over again hundreds of times trying to make the game glitch and then report of it to developers with detailed reports or something.

there aren't many MMOs that updates fast, with a small dev team that participates in the community
