As a formal QA game tester I can verify its very easy to get into entry level game testing. Half the time they will take you even if you have no experience, just competent enough to pick up things. However at entry level you mainly do the grunt work of things like running test pass's, or find tooth combing a specific part of the game to verify all bugs are hammered out. If you got coding experience or something similar you can move up rather quickly.
Also to note that game testing depending on your area is a small knit ish group. You burn a bridge and most other companies know about it. Also be aware that sometimes you will be thrown on the one game that is beyond boring. Like 5 mins feels like 5 hours boring for 8 months. So while it can be fun, it can be a living hell.
