Ah Street fighter 4... Im loving this game sooo much!

Anyways yeah I didn't know it got that bad on huge game releases. I came here at exactly 10pm PST for Brutal legend and it got soo bad I coudnt load anything for quite a while, Im number 50? (I think it's 50) right now.

I heard there was a trick around it, and I think I found it, that night even. I just tried it for tonight for SvR 2010 and Im number 6 n_n

As the site keeps growing Goozex is going to have to find a way to increase their servers or they will start crashing completely on new release nights.  It is getting worse and worse each week.  Oh well patience is a virtue and getting 120th in line at 1:20am is better than getting 300th in line at 8am.

Hot Tip: The trick is to click the button really, really fast.

I opened all the pages for the games I wanted in separate tabs, and reloaded the pages until the buttons were activated.

Reloaded them at 1 AM, and by 1:15 they had finished loading; good enough to get 12th place for Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 and Long Wait for Borderlands.
