    Ok Goozex is Awesome.

    Ok, you know how last night on the podcast I was talking about how I signed up for this new video game trading service called Goozex and how I thought it may very well be cool? Turns out, it's completely awesome. Within an hour of finishing the recording, I checked my inbox and I already had four of my requested games come up for trade. Since I didn't have any points yet I couldn't get them, but still these were some pretty great games! I had requested Oblivion and Dead Rising, and both were available. Also, two of my games were requested, Super Paper Mario and Prostroke Golf. Yes, the same Prostroke Golf that I said was a piece of crap and I thought I would never be able to trade. I am shipping the games out today, all I have to do is print out labels and go to the post office. Once they arrive at their destination, I get points and can get games of my own! Sure it's a bit slower than going down to Gamestop, but you aren't feeding the horrible Gamestop/EB Games used game machine, and if you are into older games you may have missed (like myself), the library is unsurpassed. Check Goozex out, tell em "chrisfurniss" sent you. You will thank me. Serious.

    you would probably digg switchplanet.com as it lets you do all that and more because it includes games, dvds, cds and books and its free.

    I used to do this a lot back in high school when IGN hosted switchouse.com. Which was basically just like that, minus the point system. So trades where made between interactions of two people. Its where I got my scrumptious copy of Decent 2.
