This is just sad, even lower than I'D sink!
What do I even say to that? I got nothing.
I sent the link to one of my best friends and she described it as "prostitution without the sex!". Since she used to do the other kind of prostitution, I think she's as close to an expert on the subject as anyone
I'm wondering if they have to have some license to use the xbox to make a profit, seems like there should be
Wow...
As if gamers didn't have enough to objectify women, and then with but a website....

For the girls themselves it's a good deal, I guess; for women in general, not so much. The pseudo-porn photos on the "PlayDate" profiles don't help dissuade the fact that this is really creepy.
And whats worse is that when the 10 minutes are up and the buzzer sounds, you suddenly lose your backup and get killed
Its like a combination of hired mercenaries and prostitution
I don't see how anybody could be stupid enough for this. Not even the most desperate.
Hmm aparently you only get a cam feed if you play a casual game otherwise its just audio. Do you think I could earn any money if I put a pretty picture of a girl in a fake profile and then when asked to game just had a porno playing over the mic during the 10 minutes I'd get away with it?

"OHHH THAT WAS SUCH A GOOD MOVE! OHHH. That headshot really turned me on!"

No, but you could conceivably do it with a sound board. As long as all the sound bytes were both generic and sexy ("ooh, you're good at this!" etc.) it would probably pass. EDIT: also you could probably source your clips from porn, as long as you didn't accidentally take clips from multiple women. This service doesn't have an orgy option just yet. ;)
They plan to add Wii support, which could work even better; the Wii microphone isn't nearly as widely used so you might be able to get away with claiming you don't have one. ;)

For the love of darkness.Humans stop being dumb!
Think of the poor zombies that have to now kill 10 of you to get all the brains they need for the day.
Say in school and learn so that brain of yours can become nice and fat.
This was paid for by zombie who love to brains.

Actually, the stupid people are the first to get eaten and turned into zombies (at least judging by every zombie film ever), that's why they need braaaaains.

Well I wouldn't actually want to have the sound on when the session was in progress I don't think my delicate mind could handle nerds trying to chat up internet girls or especially dirty talk :S.

A combination of Ubisoft and prostitution you say?
I wonder how many of the playdates are really men...?
