Goozex Newsletter

Greetings Goozers!

The Goozex Team would like to welcome everyone to the March edition of the Goozex Newsletter.

This month's topics include:
Goozex News
Free Trades during the month of March!

That’s right, it’s a FREE TRADE MONTH! We started off 2008 with such a bang we decided to make the month of March a free trade month. So build up your lists to take full advantage of this unique opportunity.
What does free trade month mean, you ask?  No trade credits are needed to get games for all trades started between March 1st and March 31st. All you need are just Goozex points! Don’t worry, your original trade credit balance will not be changed during the free trades month.

Buy From Amazon

Amazon Do you see a game you want, but want it new?  Buy it from Amazon, and support Goozex!
Look for the “Buy from Amazon” button on all game pages.  Clicking on the button takes you to the Goozex-Amazon store where you can get the game new!  You already know that Amazon is the leading online retailer for video games and consistently is rated best for customer satisfaction. All purchases are managed by Amazon.com.

Goozex in Play magazine!

Goozex got a shout out in the March issue of Play magazine!  Play Magazine was able to put together a great section about Goozex’s Top Traded, Requested, and Offered games for 2007! What can we say other than how great you made 2007 for the entire Goozex community.

Upcoming New Goozex Features
Trade Suspension Feature

The G-Team is in the works of implementing a new button that will allow users to automatically put a request on hold when the seller goes into timeout after a match. Basically, if you find yourself in a request that is matched several times without a seller accepting, you will now have the option put that game on hold.  This will free up your points to put towards another game.

Account History Snapshot

The new account history snapshot will allow members to get a “bank statement” type of view of their current account standing. It will detail a breakdown of where your points have come and gone during your time on Goozex.


New Signatures

Goozex is in the process of releasing two new versions of the signature (currently in beta testing):

  1. Userbar signature
  2. Slim signature
Be on the lookout for an announcement about this in the Forums!

Forum Highlights
Goozex Film Contest Winners

WOW! Did you see the video contest held on the Goozex forums?  There were many awesome submissions into this year's Goozex Film contest. It has been a wonderful experience seeing what some creative Goozers are able to do with your Spielberg Minds and Cameras!
After watching many videos countless times, the voting narrowed them down to a final five vote and eventually a winner.

We would like to congratulate Goozex member Cheddar for receiving the most votes and winning the contest.  Cheddar is now the proud owner of the Rock Band Bundle and here’s hoping he’ll submit a jam out session video!

Here are the Final Six and winning Film submission:

1. Cheddar - "Trading...for LOVE"
