Trade Games With GameFlavor, Get a Free Game

Do you play a lot of games? Does the sales clerk at your local game shop know you on a first-name basis? We are proud to introduce a new service that is perfect for other heavy gamers like ourselves. The new GameFlavor online trading hub lets you meet other devoted gamers and swap your used games with them through a totally streamlined social networking system.

We have partnered with SaySwap, the leading online game trading company, to bring this great offer to our readers. For a limited time, signing up to our service nets you two weeks of free trading and 20 points worth of credit to be used toward a game of your choice (many games on the service are valued at 20 points, meaning you basically get a free game just for taking a look around the service). After the two week trial, there are tons of reasons to stick around and trade more: a huge, tightly-knit online community, massive selection of used games for every console, free shipping and rapid turnaround of games in your queue.

Here's how the system works: every time you ship a game out to another person, the service automatically credits you with points, based on the value of that game. Those points can then be redeemed with other users to request games that have listed in their "available" queue. When you agree to ship one of your old games, the service gives you a free mailer that can be printed off and used to send the game, so you don't pay anything for shipping. SaySwap is the only service that offers this convenient feature.

Besides setting up a queue of games on your "want" list (similar to Netflix), you can also connect with other gamers socially by browsing their lists, adding them as friends, or making trades directly with them. This is a fantastic way to make friends and discover games you might never otherwise have known about. At the moment there is a huge selection of more than 100,000 games available, from every system under the sun, including handhelds. In addition to brand new games for next-gen consoles, this is a great way to get your hands on older, more obscure games for the PS2 and GameCube.

Create a list of games you want, and then let the system do its work.

The GameFlavor trading hub is open to anyone from North America. If you live in a place that doesn't have a great used game selection, or if you want to quickly and conveniently trade your old games for new ones, then definitely give this service a look. Check out the GameFlavor Trading Hub here.
