    Eurogamer Network - that's the company which publishes the website you're reading, just in case you were wondering - has announced plans to launch a new video streaming service, titled Eurogamer TV.

    A beta version of the site is already up and running, as you may have noticed, at www.eurogamer.tv, where you can watch a trailer for Capcom's newly announced Xbox 360 exclusive Lost Planet, plus a whole load of trailers for various spanky new THQ games.

    The trailer can be viewed in small, medium or large formats depending on your bandwidth, with no download time or codec issues, hurrah! And the site is being stress-tested at the moment, so anyone who makes the effort to pay a visit and watch the trailers will be doing us a big favour.

    "We have great plans for Eurogamer TV," said Eurogamer Network's director of operations, Rupert Loman.

    "This really is just the beginning. In the New Year we will ramp up our audience capacity significantly and start to make original content available online, in addition to a comprehensive selection of trailers and game footage. We're extremely excited about the prospects afforded by this launch."

    We really are, you know.

    i'd rather download the movie tbh. i've grown to loathe streaming video and all those bastard sites that won't allow you to just download the file...

    i can see how this sort of thing would be appreciated though

    The video streaming on the site works well ..
    Lost planet.. Mech warrior clone with too many cutscenes that probably reveal a crap story... Will they ever give us something original?.

    If you can't make it to Los Angeles for E3 next month, have no fear - Eurogamer TV will be there to bring you extensive video coverage direct from the show floor.

    And to celebrate, we've hired a new editor for EG TV - Mr Johnny Minkley, who was formerly editor of trade paper MCV and ComputerAndVideogames.com. He also presents the videogames section on Jo Whiley's Radio One show, don't you know.

    Johnny will be taking two film crews to LA, and you can expect high quality streaming video from all the key events and stands at the most important gaming event of the year.

    Eurogamer's business development manager, Pat Garratt, took a break from his busy business development managing schedule to say: "Johnny's decision to take the Editor's role on Eurogamer TV is great news for the company, and we're very excited about the future of the service.

    "We are committed to video as one of the key parts of our offering going forward, and we firmly believe Johnny has the experience, drive and vision to make Eurogamer TV the definitive destination for games-related video content on the internet."

    Eurogamer TV has already been a huge success - in the first month since launch, we've served up more than 100,000 videos, providing people too lazy to read the news articles we slave over ALL DAY with a much less labour intensive way of finding out about games.

    "The potential for Eurogamer TV is spectacular," said our new friend Johnny.
