Social Networking Site For Gamers Debuts

01 Nov, 2006, 2:37 pm IST | by Priyanka Pradhan |

Myspace founder, Brad Greenspan has unveiled a new social networking site, Sayswap.com, exclusively for gamers, backed by his established entertainment site, LiveUniverse. The new site will enable gamers to trade video games, share cheats, write blogs and interact with one another in an online community, across the world.

SaySwap members are allowed to trade video games online by combining purchase points, a virtual currency earned through trading and interacting with other members, and trading tokens purchased for $4.95, from the site. Users are asked to create lists containing the games they want and the games they own at the registration stage, so their preferences will be viewed on their customized profile pages. Members can then browse each others' 'want' and 'have' lists and interact with one another to trade for the games they desire.

Mark Elfenbein, CEO of SaySwap said, "We are excited to offer the gaming world this long-overdue service that allows players to trade away their old games to acquire the games they want to play. Players of practically any console or device can interact with peers from around the globe to trade games for a mere fraction of the price they would pay at a traditional retailer."

SaySwap will also provide its game-trading platform to other game sites and retailers, such as CheatCodes.com, which will launch a white label version of SaySwap in November. Signup on SaySwap is free and users receive 30 purchase points instantly.
