You need Purchase Points to get a game, and you get Purchase Points when you mail a game. You might think of Purchase Points as a form of money. The Purchase Points value for every game has been set by us based on the current suggested retail price (SRP). The transfer of Purchase Points is made automatically between Gamers by us when you get a game or mail a game. If you need additional Purchase Points you buy those from directly from us for $1.00 per point.
