Sorry if this has been done before...
It is some game trading website, they are doing a promo this month. You register for free, no credit card or anything and you get 100 pts. These 100pts can get you a free Xbox or PS2 (or maybe another older system) game. I requested Mortal Kombat Deception or Halo 2, whichever becomes available first since they are both backwards compatible with the 360 - although I may just resell whichever I get on Half.com. It is legit.
Yes this is my referral link they gave me, I am not sure if I actually get anything from it though, feel free to just go to the website directly. http://www.goozex.com/trading/asp/join.asp?idr=564300193917

It annoys me that they have Final Fantasy X2 for 100 points but not FFX. They do have Viewtiful Joe though, so I am overall pleased. Good find.
Do you still have to pay for shipping?

Not a bad idea, their "exchange rate" seems considerably better than Gamestops. I inquire about the reach around every time I trade something in to that place 4/10/2008 1:34:50 PM |

shipping is free to receive a game. you have to pay for it when you send one to someone else though 4/10/2008 2:07:16 PM |
mildew Drunk yet Orderly 14177 Posts user info edit post |
Well I just plan on getting my free one and then never using the service again, so things should work out quite well
btw, It says that Halo 2 is the game that will be shipping once the person confirms my order. Sweet. That should get me ~$10 4/10/2008 2:08:52 PM |

So how difficult would it be to set up multiple accounts and get multiple free games? Since it doesn't ask for a credit card or anything, I guess the only thing it could match it against would be your address? Looks like I'll be sending another game to my parents house. And maybe one to my gf's house. 4/14/2008 9:20:59 AM |

Yes. I just tried to sign up for the hell of it with a different email address. I used the same name to see what would happen, and I couldn't confirm my account due to security clearance failure.
Or something.
I never got to the point of entering my address.

well i'm trying this out.
whats the turns to go when looking at a game requested status? the number of people in front of you that requested that game?
well that was fast, found a match for the game i wanted in like 5 minutes.
and mildew, you get 100 points and a trade bonus when a person you referred makes a positive trade.

I don't understand people that complain about Gamestop's trading practices. If you don't like what they offer then don't sell your stuff, or just keep it and sell it yourself online or whatever. No one's forcing you to sell your games that are probably garbage anyway.
Sorry, but that's my rant as a part-time Gamestop employee. I seriously hate most of the customers that come in there if you can't tell .4/18/2008 5:53:21 PM |

HOLY CRAP!
So I just tried out the game and it works fine and all. I thought I would go ahead and give the guy positive feedback and what not since the manual and all was in excellent condition. I fill out the feedback report and hey look at that, I've been awarded 200 points for "First-trade bonus credit". So FYI, when you get your game, give the person some feedback and you can get another one! Looks like I just ordered Final Fantasy X.
