Title: Buy Video Games with Bitcoin
Post by: mndrix on January 07, 2011, 09:51:01 PM
JJGames (http://www.jjgames.com) just started accepting Bitcoin payments.  They sell used video games (NES, PS3, Xbox 360, etc) and they ship to most countries around the world.  To activate Bitcoin payment, use the promo code "bitcoin" during checkout.  That enables bitcoin payments and gives you a 2% discount on your purchase (that's what he'd otherwise pay to process a credit card transaction).

There's a 2 minute walkthrough video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22JkAGGbxVA) on YouTube.  Let me know if you have any problems during payment.

If the had classic PC games on the offer I would have spent all my bitcoins there!

It is awesome, regardless.

JJGames (http://www.jjgames.com/page/bitcoin) has increased the Bitcoin discount to 5%.  This is because of an updated fraud cost analysis they did and because of the positive experiences they've had so far with Bitcoin buyers.

Thanks everybody.

He's had too many issues with copied PC games so selling them raises more complications than it's worth for him.

He should offer a steam proxy buying service like mine, buy games when they come on sale and then sell for markup later ;)
