Word on the street is that Peerflix, the DVD trade service, will soon allow users to swap video games. I’ve heard decent things about the service, so I’m anxious to see when they would start allowing game trades. Currently, for about $1, you can swap a DVD with another user. Would you do the same with your video games?
