I am going to lose more points. I guess the new goozex exchange thing started up because when I put this game on request (Manhunt 2 for the Wii) I got this little pop up. I closed out of it without reading what it said, a little annoyed that my pop-up blocker didn't stop it when I notice I lost a token and some points. Apparently I just asked for a direct deal without knowing it. When I noticed it I immediately tried to cancel it. I don't have a Wii yet. I am planning to get one in a few months (maybe Christmas) and just wanted to be close to the top of the queue. But like the other situation I know I am going to wind up getting a game I don't want right now regardless.

Edit: sorry, to correct myself, the button is "Get it now" not request now.

Edit 2: Another correction, I meant "Add to Requests" instead of add to queue, but I'm sure you know what I meant. Phew, I need to wake up.

Yes, I hadn't seen it before but just tried it.  I can see why you just clicked, as I'm use to the old style of adding it and then putting it on hold in my queue.

I guess some advance warning about implementing it would have been nice but I guess it pays to always check before you click.

Yes, it would have been nice if they announced it right as it was implemented since it came as a big suprise to me. I thought they only updated the request/offer popup, but then I noticed the get it now for some games. When the pop up appears, it will default to the best match available but you can change the option to full package and the button for "Add to Requests Queue" will appear.

They have been telling us for a while that it would be coming out soon.  I love the new button and might look through the available games to see if there is anything good to pick up.

Indeed this was announced. I like the new interface; clean and clear. Nothing changes really in the background. If the product is available right away, as before, you'll be matched almost instantly. If not, it goes on your request list as before, your hold or watch list.

I am still suprised that none of the Mods have asked this user to clean up the language in his profile.  Sure it is his own personal profile and he has the right to his opinions but language like that should not be on this site whether it is on the forums or in someones profile.

All we can do is PM them and/or kick it up high. We can't access their profile.

Judging by your sig, something similar has happened to you before. You should probably be more careful about what you're clicking.

Well this case is a little different. I didn't even read the pop up. I thought it was something my pop up blocker missed.

If they ask me to change it I will. But if they don't I won't.

Just my luck. The guy I accidentally instant matched the game with had did what I had asked and canceled our deal. It took him forever but while I was asleep he finally got around to doing so as I got an emailed message saying he did so at 2:51am. So to my surprise when I check on this site to see if he canceled it I find that not only has he canceled it but in that time Goozex had automatically matched me up with another trader. I didn't even have a chance to put the game on my hold queue. He already confirmed shipping at of 9:43 this morning (its 12 in the afternoon now) so with my luck he's probably going to ship out the game and I am going to be $... out of luck losing more points and another trade token for a game I didn't want right away. Unbelievable.
