GameCrush, pay to play online games with girls.

GameCrush is set to launch at 6 p.m. PDT Tuesday, and its premise, in theory, is simple. It's the gaming equivalent of buying a girl a drink to chat her up, the developers say.
A Player (yes, they're called "Players") buys points--500 cost $8.25--and uses them to buy "game time" with a PlayDate (yes, they're called PlayDates). Xbox titles including Modern Warfare 2, Gears of War 2, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Halo 3 cost 400 points and last up to 10 minutes.

It'll make a mint.
Why didn't I think of this.

Is the site up now? I checked it out a few days ago (from IGN), just checked no, still down.
Pretty sure it is a joke website. They got "apparently" 10,000 requests in the first 5 minutes which crashed their servers.

Yeah and how many of these girls are actually girls. Its not like they can verify it.
That hot chick that your playing pantsless GTA 4 is actually a 45 year old plumber from Detroit named Bob.

I saw this, ran a little math, and discovered that if a girl somehow managed to get in 40 hours / week of actual gaming time, if she was only playing the six minute games she'd be flirting with a six figure salary.
Honestly, I think it'll flop.

Why would you want to pay to play a video game with a girl? Everyone knows that girls suck at video games.

Haha interesting business idea. Definitely a market that might think about paying for a service like that.
The only thing is, how much money does the average gamer have? Can they afford this? Aren't most too young to have a decent salary. And if you did, wouldn't you be using the money in other ways?

I wonder how girls will react to seeing this on the other end.

The gaming industry is bigger than the movie industry.
