I've seen one intern position so far posted at EA, so they are available.

Console and PC games are developed with many programmers, as you can tell from credits in them. Each developer puts forth effort into a specific aspect of the game, based on what the game designers intend the game to be.

My guess is that you are primarily interested in the actual physics of the game. Physics may play an important part within a game, but there are needs for interface programming, as well.

Also, console games are beginning to go online. This means there will be server programmer positions available for consoles, but be *unix/MS based, instead of specific console hardware.

So, you can choose from a specific field or just practice as a jack-of-all-trades until you settle on which facet of a game you are interested with.
