I was watching some videos the other day and I ask how some people try consoles/games months before the official day of sale?

For example :

I was just wondering that myself. How do I sign up to be a reviewer? Especially the ones who don't own a business or anything?

It's simple, have ~1M YouTube subscribers.

Any other options apart from YouTube?

not really apart from very rarely getting one on like a game review website youtube is the biggest place for it because it can be reviewed in a video on youtube instead of in text in a review honestly tho if it was so easy don't you think there would be plenty of us doing it instead of answering the question? lol

That's crazy. All you need is YouTube. I wonder if they get to keep the products?

You need YouTube to be your job. Those links are to people who make their living on YouTube. It's not just a little hobby for them. It's not like they just made a YouTube channel and then BAM!, free stuff started showing up.
