I equate 100 points to be about $4...so I say yes.  What do you guys think?

Yes they are overpriced because they are basically just doubling cost and some items are way more than that. But this can be easily remedied, yet my solution won't sit well with those who think they should be really cheap. 

Goozex should be setting the prices around 2000 for 360/PS3 games. About 1600-1800 for Wii games. Blu-Ray movies should be between 1200 -1600 depending on the title and the normal pricing. Blu-Ray box sets should be between 2000 and 2500.  DVDs could stay at 1000 or even drop to 800 depending on the title. 

They can't make them really lower than these prices due to the fact this will now be a static feature of the site and not just where 50 people at a time can redeem. The only money they make off of this is probably from the affiliate purchase through Amazon and even anyone bought points.  This is a way for them to reward users with new products, not for them to lose a crap ton of money because people want games & movies cheap.

It just seems like getting a game or movie used for half the price is better.  Not sure who has that many points laying around that they'd want to get new items.

I have over 31k points, so I would. :P  It's just that the current selection isn't appealing and I can wait for better selection and a bit lower pricing. Until then, I'll wait in request queues

That would still be too high honestly.

Considering it will be open to more than 50 people at a time, it would not be too high. We don't want Goozex to kil lthe Exchange because everyone was buying games at too low of a price point

That's still way, way too high. What's with all the overhead, when I could get 2 games for the same price by just driving down to gamestop?

You can get two games at Gamestop for 2000 points?

For its equivalent $100, yes you can.

actually, you'd spend $60 each plus tax. So it would come out to more than a 2000 point equivalent.

Okay, you can get a new PS/Xbox game and a DS game for that price.
