Join Goozex, then!
Goozex is this game trading website I'm signed up to, and right now they're having a promotion where all new users who sign up get 100 points and 1 trade credit, which is basically a free 100-point game.
Wait, what are points?
Points basically = goozex money. Instead of trading one game for another, you trade one game for points and then use those points to buy other games. So say you want to trade in COD4. You'll get 1000 points for it (equivalent to about $50) and then you can spend those points on whatever games you want. Maybe you want 1 1000 point game, or 2 500 point games, etc.
So what are these trade credits?
Trade credits are used to determine how many trades you can make. When you receive a game, it costs one trade credit. It does not cost any trade credits to trade games out. Trade credits are worth $1 apiece, which is why Goozex says that you get games for $1. I personally have never had to buy trade credits, because I got a bunch of trade credits from referring people.
How do I get these points and trade credits?
You can buy them from the Goozex store, you can get points from trading out games or referring people, and you can get trade credits from referring people.
Why don't I just trade my games in to EBstop for real monies?
Goozex is a better deal. Say you bought COD4, played through it, but didn't like it. If you want to take it back to EB, you'll only get like $20 for it. BUT! If you trade it in to Goozex, you will get 1000 points, which you can then spend on brand-new or rare games, like GTA4 or Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne, for example.
What is an example of how awesome Goozex is?
Goozex is awesome for getting old games and for getting rid of shitty games that would only be worth like $2 at EB.
These are the crappy games (or games I didn't play anymore) I traded OUT: Black & White, The Sims Double Deluxe, The Sims Superstar, Smackdown! Here Comes The Pain, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PS3), Resident Evil 4 (PS2), Xenosaga ep. III, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Diablo (PS1)
These are the superawesome games that I got IN: Tekken 3 (PSX, Mint condition!), Metal Gear Solid (PSX, near-mint condition!), Chrono Cross (PSX, mint!), Jet Moto 2 (PSX, mint!), God of War (PS2), Patapon (PSP)
and currently on their way to me are Xenogears and Neverwinter Nights 2.
So doodz, join Goozex. It is great value. It is especially good if you want to try games out but you don't want to buy them. So like if you wanted to give Heavenly Sword a shot, get it on Goozex, play it, then send it out when you're done and you'll get all your points back.
It is a superawesomecool site and you should all sign up for it with this referral link:
