Gamers can now securely trade Wii, PS3 and Xbox360 games for a fraction of the retail cost
SaySwap,
the first video game social network that allows users to trade for new
games at a small fraction of the retail or used cost, has partnered
with casual games portal and developer Teagames, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of FUN Technologies, to launch a
co-branded version of the SaySwap platform. The platform launched today
at Teagames.com.
SaySwap
will power a comprehensive social video game shopping, trading and
socializing platform for Teagames, one of the largest flash videogame
properties in the world, with over four million monthly unique visitors
worldwide (according to comScore Media Metrix, July '07). Teagames will
leverage the SaySwap platform to facilitate video game trades for its
members through a combination of trading tokens and purchase points (a
virtual currency for each game).
Through the deal, SaySwap will
provide a completely customized platform that enables Teagames users to
create their own profile pages with the ability to create game trading
lists (including all PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii titles). In addition, the
SaySwap solution allows Teagames members to bypass the negotiation
phase, since all games have a predefined value.
'"Our white label
solution is a huge boon to any video game or social networking
community looking to add value to its users,' said Mark Elfenbein,
founder of SaySwap. '"With the cost of console video games ballooning to
over $60 per game, we are pleased to offer a much more affordable
solution.'ÂÂ
According to July 2007 U.S. comScore data, SaySwap.com is the largest social media trading community in the USA.
