Brighton, England, November 22, 2005: Eurogamer Network - the publisher of the UK's most popular consumer video games website, Eurogamer.net - today launches a brand new videogames rental service in conjunction with games rental specialist, SwapGame.

Consumers can rent two games at a time and keep them for as long as they like for a mere £14.99 per month, or one game at a time for £9.99 per month. Games are delivered directly to customers' doorsteps, and when they are finished with the game, they can return it in the supplied pre-paid envelope and another selected game will be dispatched immediately. In order to offer even better value, gamers are able to enjoy a 10-day free trial for the service, which offers one of the broadest selections of classic and current video games anywhere in the UK.
Using Eurogamer's new service, UK-based gamers can now benefit from the following game rental features:
- Choose from over 1,500 titles for PlayStation 2, Xbox, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, PSP, Game Boy Advance and GameCube.
- Hold games for a limitless time.
