The UK online games retailer Gameplay claims that its web site (http://www.gameplay.co.uk) has become the first games site in Europe to make use of live video streaming.
The video streaming feature allows customers to actually see a game or DVD movie in action before they decide to make a purchase. According to Gameplay the web code for the clips makes it easy even for modem users to enjoy the feature.
