A big shout-out goes to Goozer Smoger who has independently developed the first Goozex Android App: Pocket Goozex! 

Envision a mobile phone application where with the a few touches on your cell you scan the back of a game box at a retail store and instantly add it to your Goozex request queue.  Then you say I may need some points for that game and decide to add some movies laying around home to your offers queue.   All this can now be done on your Android mobile phone.

Seriously, that’s awesome!  Click here to learn more about Pocket Goozex the Android app.

As many of you know, we have a relationship with the good people at Cause, who help bring comfort to our wounded soldiers.  Recently, Cause unveiled a bed side portable PlayStation 3 and TV unit that can move around throughout the hospital.  Below are a couple of pictures from Walter Reed Army Medical Hospital in Washington DC to help give you an idea of how it looks.   In addition to these gaming units, Cause manages free movie and game rental centers in military hospitals across the world and is what attracted us to volunteer for them in the first place.  If you would like to learn more, donate or find out how you can help, please visit Cause at their website here:

A quick and easy way to donate $10.00 to support the Red Cross working in Haiti is to send the text “HAITI” to 90999.

A unique fundraising effort, allowing mobile users to text “HAITI” to 90999, was launched on January 12, three hours after the earthquake struck Haiti. The program is powered by Mobile Accord and the mGive Foundation in coordination with the U.S. State Department as part of its ongoing support of this disaster response. The American Red Cross is deeply grateful to be the beneficiary of this opportunity.

“Whoa! You got to be kidding me.”  “Is that even possible?”  These are some of the reactions from the GTeam when we looked at the volume of trades our 2009 top 10 buyers and sellers.  Here’s some more food for thought – we figure that the 2009 top buyer, zacksnini, saved over $14,000 on game trading alone.  No, we’re not joking.  If you figure that on average members save $16.50 per game trade, as opposed to what their trade in value would be at a the used game shop, then multiply that by how many games received you get to that number. 

As a small token of our appreciation, we’re giving these members free trading through February 28, 2010.
