So I've always wondered, how does it work when requesting XBLA games?

The person selling the game sends you the unlock code via PM. I recently got Braid this way.

nice thread, keep it up!

Thank you.

If anyone has any other point changes, please let me know. I like to activate my own games when the point values drop significantly.

Also, I discovered today that it helps to weigh your own games if you use Paypal shipping from the site. Goozex calculated a much higher weight for a game that I'm sending, and it would have cost me about $3 more to ship if I hadn't weighed it myself.

Great idea OP. Keep up the good work.

You probably shouldn't be using the Goozex Paypal shipper at all unless they've gotten rid of the extra Goozex fee they had on it.

You can use Paypal shipping directly by using the backdoor link as mentioned in a very famous Goozex thread. The link to Paypal is in the OP, or here.



(Update: From the Goozex automatic postage label thread)

How we calculate the cost?
The cost of shipping packages via USPS is determined on the overall package weight, distance from buyer to seller, and type of postage (first class vs. priority). Goozex is working with third party vendors to provide this service and there is a small service fee to help cover Goozex expenses to deliver shipping labels to you.

I'm not sure how much their small service fee is, but it's more than free, and they're not exactly "delivering shipping labels" to anyone...

Shipping is typically 60 to 70 cents more if I use the Goozex shipping method, and print their label. I figure it's worth it to me, since I don't have to lose my parking spot in the garage at work, and have to wait 20 minutes in line at the post office.

I will be investigating the postage directly from Paypal, though, and making my own shipping labels from now on.

Wow..
I know goozex is overestimating the weight of the games on their shipping labels,
but never thought they would charge a fee to use "their" (lol.. yea right) service

I wonder if the Prince of Persia increases have anything at all to do with the movie coming out soon? Kinda bummed that I never got to play Warrior Within (my old Xbox crapped out on me right after I started playing it.

Goozex's fee seems to be a dollar from the time I used it to switching over to multi-label printing over at Paypal's site. I'm guessing their service is really only delivering the tracking info to the buyer the minute you make the label.

I saved 69 cents by shipping a game directly through Paypal today. Delivery confirmation is only 19 cents, compared to 75 cents at the post office or through Goozex.

Also, I'm getting a bit frustrated by the release date that Goozex has for Red Faction: Guerrilla. The game came out yesterday, but Goozex still has June 30 listed. I want to put the game into my queue already!!!

I've been getting pretty upset with that release date as well. Do you know when they typically change date? Oh, and if you want Prototype on PS3 probably face ten same problem.

got an email that Gears of War went +50 to 150 points now.

The value on FF7 begins to plunge. I might still pick it up if it drops low enough, to have in the collection.

And does anyone know why the ps2 version of MvC2 is staying the same, while the XBox version is going up? I find that wierd.
