204w ago - Recently we added Glyde.com to our Affiliates here at PS3 News, and for those who haven't checked them out yet below is a brief background on what they offer to gamers.

Glyde was simply designed to be the cheapest and easiest way to buy and sell used (and new) video games - as well as DVDs, CDs and books.

The idea was conceived by the owners themselves, who were frustrated by the lack of decent options to buy and sell games (online auctions and swapping sites are a lot of work, and trade-ins are generally a bad deal) so Glyde was born... allowing sellers to get a fair price for their games and buyers to get some great bargains.

Easton added: "The gameplay has evolved from what we showed at Ubidays last year and when you see it again it'll be worth the wait."

Colored us intrigued. No date as yet.
