The PS3 Clubhouse

[theonedub]

^ That would be great Just drop me a PM. I've shipped PS3 games and they fit in the USPS Small Flat Rate Boxes for $6 with DC. I have plenty of HEAT too!

 

[Soylent Joe]

Im with you guys on Heavy Rain. I am waiting until its cheaper then I will pick it up. I would love it if someone wanted to let me borrow it for shipping costs

i would do that onedub - i haven't finished it yet though i'm not playing it atm, so if you could play it and have it back to me in 2-3 weeks that would work...

and then you could ship it to me right

We could get a little TPU game circuit going, but of course for trusted members only.

if i'm not ready to play it by time he's done, i would be ok with that. As you said, trusted members with HEAT only. I only have 1 rep on HEAT , but it's my game so I'm ok with that

 

[theonedub]

PM replied, Im excited This could be the start of something great!!

Yeah I'd say 500+ posts with at least a couple positive evals. And of course the borrower pays shipping, is completely liable for the game, who the lender lends to and what they lend is completely up to them. I do think that getting a game from someone else who borrowed it may be a bad idea though. You'd want the lender to get the game back after every borrow to inspect it. If not, you wouldn't know which borrower in the chain messed it up.

Also, if this does go big time, in no way would TPU be responsible for any part of the transaction. Just putting it out there before a mod or someone else does.

Oh, this would also be a good way to boost your amount of good HW evals. If you get the disc back in the same condition or even better than you send it and the borrower did everything right, the lender puts a cookie in the borrower's HW basket If it's all scratched up and they did a crappy job packaging it, or if it's broken, they get a negative eval (unless they handle replacing it a superb fashion).

 

[digibucc]

good idea, and the $6 shipping is no big deal when dealing with full price new releases! so for the games sake you are right, back to owner in between. sending it to onedub tomorrow, and it will go to you next - though that may be a few weeks...

yeah and as you said, nothing to do with TPU. it's on us what we do, separate from the site. we can even go email if necessary but i don't think it is as long as we all acknowledge just like BST that they are not responsible.

 

[Soylent Joe]

Also, you'd need to make sure that the borrower knows if you'll need the game back anytime soon and the like. Would anyone else currently lurking like to participate?

wouldn't blockbuster be just as cost effective though? not to be a downer on anything. And you can send games for cheaper than the flat rate boxes, the 69 cent padded envelopes fit them perfectly (ps3 games at least) and can be mailed for 4 bucks w/ DC

Well the Blockbusters around here charge $8 for 5 days, we're talking about <$6 for as much time as the lender allows. Usually, I just stick my game in a padded envelope, put 4 stamps on it and stick it in the mailbox. What's DC?

 

[theonedub]

DC is delivery confirmation, a must when mailing so the other person doesnt say "never got it" Maybe we should stick to padded envelopes though then for the cost.

I guess we'll leave it up to the lender as to what they want to do. You could say as a general rule of thumb, $8 to the lender through PayPal ($5-6 shipping plus a couple bucks for the hassle) for the package with DC and $5 ($2-3 shipping plus the extra) for just a padded envelope in the mail. Keep for the allotted amount of time, then borrower pays to ship back (DC will be at lender's preference).

So to kind of get things moving, would anyone willing to participate happen to have InFamous or Street Fighter 4?


Also, I'm just kind of running my mouth here. I don't know how well this could be implemented and it's most likely better to leave lends and such at the micro level like they have been before now.

[crazyeyesreaper]

[digibucc]

I would also be ok with some members borrowing assassins Creed 2, skate 2, and demon's souls. I have other games but most are older or less popular. ask if you want though.

going to send heavy rain out now. will PM you onedub shortly, when it's done.

Yeah, I played the demo of it, which is what made me get the first one.

 

[theonedub]

I only played the first 2-3hrs of Uncharted 2, I played and Platinum Trophied the first, but the second kept giving me head aches with the camera. Maybe its cause I was looking for all the treasures?

I would be interested in AC2. Did you like it? How did it compare to the first? I have number one for the PC and PS3, although I never liked it a whole lot.

 

[HookeyStreet]

Does anyone want to send me Demons Soul's to the UK then?

PS: you guys seen this? :

AC2 improved on the first in every way, but the core gameplay is still there.

:/ I'll probably pass on it. I just didn't find the first that fun. But, I'm right there with you on Uncharted. I just played the demo for Among Thieves and man my mind was thoroughly blown. Too bad I've only got $40 to spend right now, need $15 moar to get it from Newegg.

 

[Soylent Joe]

Woot! I just won Uncharted 2 for $37 shipped!


Addition: Target will have Assassin's Creed 2 for $30 (in-store only) starting tomorrow through at least April 3rd. Around here at least.

Yeah, Gamestop had that deal yesterday. If I hadn't already beaten it through gamefly, I would have picked it up.

 

[CDdude55]

I just went out and picked up God of War III and a new controller(my old one died)

Should be awesome.
