Want to play with girls?

Jet Black

Well its going to cost ya. A new website has been lauched that will allow gamers to set up 'playdates' with the wimmin and the cost of this, well a small fee of $8.25 for erm.. ten minutes.

Signing up is free, but you must purchase credits in order to get your game on. For $8.25 you get 500 credits, which is enough for one game (400 credits) and a 100 credit tip at the end. An Xbox Live game will last 10 minutes, while a casual Flash game will get you six minutes of face time with your PlayDate. That's literal face time, because you can video chat with your lady while playing a casual Flash game. Again, what goes on in that video chat is up to you and your PlayDate. GameCrush says it modeled its pricing structure after the cost of buying a girl a drink at a bar. In a bar, you're basically buying the opportunity to chat a girl up. When the service launches tomorrow it will only support the Xbox 360 and a few casual games hosted on the GameCrush website, but there are plans to add PlayStation 3, Wii, and World of Warcraft support as soon as possible.

So would you pay for this service?

The way I see it is you get to chat up a girl who is being paid to like you with no hope of anything other than a thank you NEXT!

This has got to be either a joke - or the best marketing ploy of the year.
Wonder if their market research involved recording the calls to the sex lines and asking "So Johnny... ooohhh - what game you playin tonight... ahhh..., hold on while I adjust my tassle.... eeek"

Somehow this is a service I might be just about able to say No to. Pity those that don't though. See credit card bills shooting up - poor mommie and daddie will not know what has just happened... "was only playin honest..."

Im sure she will fall in love with my game face which involves frowning looking down slightly with my tongue sticking out for extra gaming stability.

When i start shouting at some idiot for fragging his own spawn point she will swoon.....

GameCrush...no self-esteem required. I can't (and don't want to) imagine who'd go for that!

A service for all the moronic losers of the videogaming world who will hound someone if they think it is female.

The GameCrush Public Beta is temporarily unavailable due to the incredible user response (more than 10,000 inquiries in five minutes)

Seems to be taking off

Saw this on Kotaku..

Very odd, this is nearly as bad as paying for sex texts..
Do people not know that porn and webcams are free these days:rolleyes:

I remember playing Halo2 online a few years back, this one player beat the snot out of everyone and in the lobby afterwards it turned out She was a girl. The guys went bananas, they were stunned that there was a girl online at all and that she was so damn Kick ass. Within seconds they asking where she lived and could they have her number, it would have been funny if it wasn't a bit sad.
