Then they free their minds, start bending reality and suddenly appear out of a phone reciever to wreak revenge upon those that made them fight to the death for entertainment.

hmmm...i like it

I might pitch that to hollywood. SOMEONE'll pick it up
As much as I love my title "The Observer" in Oblivion, watching instead of playing would get a bit old. If you wanted to watch bots fight just host your own server.

But no, they wouldn't develope self consciousness I don't think.
