Right So here's the idea.....

You have a game/movie that you've played or watched and don't really fancy playing anymore, so you log onto the site and register it. You also stick down a list of games you would like to play.

the site's software acts as a big database with all the users in it, and when it finds a recipient for you game and one of the games in your list becomes available it e-mails you a postal address for your game/movie and you post yours to the lucky recipient, you then receive a game from someone. Plus the opportunity to rank the sender of your game.

a small fee is charged by the website.

so basically it's like ebay but more e-swap.

edit - or wait maybe it should be called swapex. like normal swapping only a bit more extreme

It's like there is some subliminal advertising going on.

Good idea until Sony and Microsoft lock your game purchase to the console and kill the second-hand/rental market.

Money grabbing scumbag sons-of-dogs.

This place has the same idea but instead of an "admin fee" they have the gall to call it "postage and packing".

Better idea is to set up a website offering 10 original Xbox/PS2 games for �40. Customer pays via paypal or cheque to your company name.

You email 'em back saying you are out of stock but will refund them in full. You send out a cheque from your second company called "Gay Men Who Love Their Labradors Inc." and see how many cash the cheque.

Old, but classic.
