Okay, I'm new to this site, and I just recently discovered you can purchase xbox live arcade games here. I was just wondering how that worked. You can't really send those through the mail...so if anyone that's dealt with the trading of xbox arcade games (or download content of any kind for that matter) could please explain this to me, I'd much appreciate it. Thanks.
Also, would these too require the use of a token?
You would be trading for a code to download the game on xbox live

amazon sells codes
Is it cheaper to buy a code off of amazon or such and get points for it than to just buy points?
Of course after expending the code, you can't reverse the trade, probably why all of them are overpriced...
Depends, there are some sellers on Ebay that sell for a good price. Amazon also has deals at times for cheap games.
I know I want Castlevania: SOTN (when I finally get my harddrive, that is). On here it's 100 points, that =$5, right? It's what, $20 online? (haven't browsed much....) I can see the incentive for the buyer, as you can trade out a game and get it for basically free, but as a seller...where ARE they getting these deals?
Well, I was thinking of getting Alien Hominid, and since that's only 100 points here (it's 800 microsoft points, or $10, in the marketplace), that's definitely a better deal.
But I still need to know, do you use a token when requesting "codes" for xbox arcade stuff?
Yes you use tokens. and SOTN is 800 points on XBL.
you use tokens for EVERY trade on goozex =p
Vernox: Yes you use tokens. and SOTN is 800 points on XBL.
I think it's 400
Should we send codes by PM, or should we write the code on a piece of paper and mail it with delivery confirmation?
If the buyer claims they didn't recieve the game, can Goozex verify/look at PMs?
Do codes expire? I've got 100 points now and a trade credit, and if I want a game, I don't have my hard drive just yet. Can I get a code and D/L it when my drive comes in, or should I put that game on hold for now?

Once you use the code you can download the game anytime you want on your account. You can use it from Xbox.com even.
Cool. Time for me to tag my game onto my account and see if anyone has a good deal for a download. Can you download it, say on another console, in case I'm at a friend's house? Or do I have to play it only on my console, like Wii games? I hate that...I put it on an SD card to show to a friend and it wasn't "authorized" for use on their machine.
