I'm really starting to get tired of getting crappy spots in line for a games because the website can't handle 1,000 people on at the same time. I know plenty of other website where there are thousands of people on at the same time and it runs perfectly fine. Can't goozex redesign their website so I won't get the 175 spot in line for a popular game like final fantasy?

Ugh, I got ripped off just like you, spot 179. This is absolutely awful. Not to mention that so few people trade games that anything past position 50 will basically never get the game unless you wait a whole year. It's also completely unfair that you buy points at $5 for 100, but if you want to buy new items with the points, 100 points is worth only half of that.

I'm completely fed up with Goozex and will not trade in a single game anymore. I just want to cash out and never use this site ever again. =\

The system is bs.  it doesn't give everyone an opportunity to be near first in line for a release.   The site wasn't loading at all for me for the first 20 minutes.  I'm sick of this ****

Final Fantasy 13 is still loading for me, so I say you guys have it better than me.

I got 115. I was a little bummed because I clicked "activate" within the first minute, so I thought I'd get an awesome slot like I did for God of War Collection. 

Oh well, I expect the line will move pretty quick. I'll get it in a month or three. Heavy Rain is a lot worse (I'm 600-some deep since I forgot to stay up.)

Yeah this place sucks, as soon as I can get rid of these points I'm done.  201 is my slot for FF13 and there is never anything good on the PS3 side of things unless its to get rid of a game.  I want to get rid of Bad Company 2, but what good is it to get 1000 points when I can never get a good slot.

PRO TIP: when waiting for a place in line, don't go do other things on the internet (i.e. posting on a forum). This will only hinder you even more.

Assuming everyone is trying to get in right at 1am, increasing server speed isn't going to help you. It's just handling requests as it can, and if you get 179th, you get 179th.. Now, you might get that 179th position a little faster, but you know.

If you want to complain that goozex should instead use a lottery for queue order for people who request to be entered during a specific time period, I am there with ya.

Everyone does realize that everyone else has about the same chance as you do when trying to request it. Everyone basically has to go through the same steps.

Also, everyone must also realize that this game is more likely to get bought for the PS3 since it was original made for the PS3 and the 360 is simply a port (with worse graphics).

I'm content with my position (170+). It's basic supply  demand, and I believe FFXIII will have lots of supply (after 100+ hours of play or course), since there is no known replayability value.

It depends on the genre, but generally as long as you enter in the first hour, it's very likely that you'll receive the game soon. (Except for racing and music games).

I've been on goozex for a short time, but all the items I have requested are moving at a snails pace.  To this just shows that there really isn't much being offered on the PS3 side of things.

So you are getting mad that you are not gonna get a new game immediately from a used game site?

ROFL at all the whining over this. If it is THAT important to you, feel free to purchase the game. If it's not important enough to purchase, accept your spot in line and be patient. 

Please, leave the site and take your positions in all your queues with you. Just means people behind you guys move up. :)

I'm with this guy. What's the rush? You want the game sooner, go out an buy it. This site is designed to help people trade used games, it isn't designed to cater to whiny little girls who want everything now and for next to nothing. I'm 256th in line, but you know what, I've got about 20 games already I need to play and whole lot more on my request list, so by the time FFXIII gets to me, I won't even be through half those games. It isn't the end of the world!
