SwapGame.com is a UK site offering PS3 game rentals of launch titles for £9.99 per month for European PS3 owners who are lucky enough to get their hands on a PS3 but can't afford to buy all of the launch titles like Motostorm, Virtua Fighter 5 and Sonic the Hedgehog

According to Swap Game, “From day one we will provide our subscribers with the option to keep any currently rented PS3 game for a great pre-played price. We truly believe that our subscription service is the best way to play and it will be a godsend for all PS3 owners” said Marc Day.

Another site, Playstation 3 Games Rental has been set up to help the new UK market provide PS3 titles for rental.

Rob Savin, Marketing Manager at PS3 Games Rental UK says, “The PS3 is amazing. The problem is that it’s so expensive for most people to afford. Until games prices come down we see games rental as the only way that most people are going to be able to get the most out their investment – the cost of just two games will buy people over six months of unlimited rentals.”

Europeans will be able to enjoy the full line of titles by utilizing these two sites and their relatively low rates.

For prospective PS3 owners looking to purchase the unit shortly after launch, PS3 Locator is a site dedicated to helping gamers get their hands on the hard-to-find units. For more information, read the full news post here.
