It's 1AM EST. You'll know it's getting close when the servers start to buckle.

I've looked and haven't seen it anywhere in the TOS but thought I would ask GAF as well.

I got my PS3 this Christmas in the bundle that included Arkham Asylum, but I already own it for 360. Would rather put it up on Goozex rather than taking up shelf space, but the bar code has been slashed. I assume this shouldn't really be an issue, but am slightly worried I guess. Anyone know for sure?

I'm a little pissed that I was something like #30 on the waitlist for No More Heroes 2 when it was 800 points. Now I'm number 12, but the damn game went all the way up to 1000 points while I've been waiting. The kicker is that I got 950 points back in December for trading in Spirit Tracks, and I 100% expected to use 800 of them on NMH2 and then the other 150 on a GC game or something. Now I can't do either without buying more points.

1000 points for a used Wii game....if I didn't already have points on my account, I could buy the damn game anywhere else right now for the same price brand new. What a joke.

Demand must be high for the game. I hate getting those emails letting you know that stuff you want has changed value. Good when they go down.

Most Wii games do that. 800 before launch but by the time anyone can get something, it'll be 1000.

No. If you have paypal, use that. Delivery confirmation is something like 20 cents. With paypal you'll be paying about 2.25 per game.

Assuming it's X360 (X360 tends to go faster, obviously), I'd say 3-4 months minimum.


Just for reference, Modern Warfare 2 has gotten 299 (US region) to 344 (US + other regions) trades since November 11th.

I use shipping on paypal.com. Like someone said, it's cheaper because delivery confirmation is only 20 cents. You have to get DC so it's not an option, but it's only 20 cents so no big deal. I use a cheap food scale to weigh my stuff too, or I estimate and put 6 oz for single disc games and 7 oz for 2 disc games.

I say anything under 50 is very good for a popular game. To get that, you need to be on top of refreshing Goozex a lot and spam the request button. Otherwise, if you refresh casually and get in 40 minutes after when the server smooths out, you'll probably be around the 100s. Waiting till the next morning can net you at least 200+ depending on the demand of the game.

If you're good at refreshing for stuff like this, you can get in the top 50 if you really want it.

I don't have a scale so I use the automated kiosks at the post office to weigh the package. it's walking distance for m so no big. I've noticed that alot of games are about 4-5 oz. Also, Amazon piuts the item's weight in the item description. Very accurate. You could use this in order to get the weight.

Ohh boy, tonight is going to be packed. Still deciding whether to go 360 or PS3 for BC2.

Which one do you think will get me the game faster? Probably going to be way more 360 requests, but at the same time, more people will most likely buy the 360 version.

Damn.

Oh, good idea. Never thought of that.

Just added Battlefield tonight, no problems. It seems so much easier getting added to new games recently for me for some reason. #2 on the queue...not bad

The LE is the one that everyone who pre-ordered got. I figured that the people trading it earlier would have that one. I'm #66 on the regular. I'm not sure if I even want it though so I'll probably put them on Hold. Hoping for an EA focus test soon so I can just get it there.

Did you send it with delivery confirmation? How long has it been sent?

FYI, if the guy never submits feedback, it gets a positive by default. Only problem is that you're gonna be waiting for a couple weeks after shipment.

If you shipped with DC, you should get your points fine no matter what (from what I've read)

I hate that. Yeah, as already mentioned, after 14 days or so, if no feedback is provided it's positive by default.
Personally, i've been getting a few of those "ship in 3 days". 3 days pass and no ship confirmation.

It might be because I'm a new member so it takes longer. I know the package arrived, I bought the shipping through their website. Tracked it and said it was delivered. Now I just have to wait forever. >_>;

I ordered ODST 'full package' and only received the campaign disc. Can I give the guy a negative or is the MP not included in the full package?

Full package is always everything. Hell, there's people in the forums saying that the Heavy Rain paper should be included with a full package. Though you should take it up with him in PMs first.

Yup, negative feedback since according to Goozex:

Trading this item requires both discs under all shipping conditions, the campaign disc 1 and the multiplayer disc 2. Failure to send both discs may result in a negative feedback. The multiplayer disc 2 includes the Mythic Map Pack which may have already been used and expired. Goozex is a used trading service, and an expired disc 2 should be expected. As of April 09, 2009 the Mythic Map Pack is available for download on Xbox Live for 800 Microsoft Points.

This happened to me. Then all of a sudden, I put Bioshock and Bioshock 2 up, confirmed both shipped, and got my points right away. I don't know if it depends on your feedback or what, but I thought it was weird.

Yeah, it's based on how much feedback you have. Don't know the exact count but after you get the ball rolling, it'll reward you points automatically when you confirm shipment. In the past, it used to give you points automatically for confirming a trade I think. Still better than having to wait for a positive.

He'll still have the opportunity to rectify the situation for a positive, but he deserves the negative if the page mentioned that both discs need to be in the full package

When you give someone a negative or a neutral, it opens up a conversation between you and the other trader to resolve the conflict before the neutral/negative becomes permanent. I had to do it a few times two people wouldn't ship out Assassin's Creed 2 despite confirming the trade

Shipped out Assassins Creed 2 today. I think I will get Buzz Quiz World with those points. I have BFBC2 to play anyway and platinums in UC2 and Infamous to finish.

I am at the top of the list for about a dozen games, so I could really get anything... decisions.

I am having a very positive Goozex experience so far, but I really wish the trading system offered a little more versatility.

Among other things, the trader and "tradee" should be able to agree on the number of days that can pass before the person receiving the game should reasonably expect to have it in hand. I live in a remote, fly-in only community and sometimes the weather delays flights (and thus the mail) from getting here.

I had to leave two negative feedbacks for not receiving the game because the default amount of time Goozex allows wasn't long enough. The games were supposedly mailed out the second week of January, and I still haven't received either of them yet. That is a little unusual seeing as how the first 9 or 10 trades I made got here within two weeks, but I have to imagine that a guy with almost 30 positives and 0 negatives didn't just not send the game. I'm sure it's lost in the mail somewhere, but it's unfortunate my only recourse was to leave negative feedback until it gets here.

Unfortunately no.

Enjoy it when it comes in though, I platinumed it pretty easily. Lots of fun and minimal bore to platinum (about 45 minutes after finishing the story to mop up some collectibles).

Make sure you hit a guy while you glide. Its the only missable trophy in the whole game.
