Well, I was thinking a few days ago and I had this idea about the PS3 scene in Pakistan. Being a loyal PS3 game owner, I have found the task of finding new games at cheap or affordable prices difficult, seeing the way the market has turned, it leaves a budgeted gamer in a very bad position. With CFW a distant hope, I cannot wait for the latest exclusives to come out as I watch, waiting in vain. I would like to propose that PG members create a membership-based PS3 game owners club to get rid of such problems. In some ways, this will mime the structure of the now-defunct PS3 game trade club. But with many exceptions:
_____________
The initial games list will be as follows (games will be purchased exclusively for the group on launch):
Assassin's Creed : Brotherhood
God of War 3
Grand Turismo 5
Resistance 3
Motor-storm : Pacific Rift
Dirt 3
Fallout : New Vegas
Red Dead Redemption
L.A. Noire
GTA 4
____________________
To join the group in the testing stage, please drop me a PM.
The current rates are:
499/- admission fee ( non-refundable)
Security deposit (will vary from member to member, with old, trusted members to pay no security deposit)
Group 1 = 1299/-
Group 2 = 799/-
Group 3 = 499/-
If you would like to make any suggestions about this let me know. I will be executing the above plan shortly.
Please note that I have made this thread to gauge the demand/acceptability for such an idea before going on with it. Please give me ideas, thoughts and suggestions about such an idea and how to improve/go about it if I am to put it into action. Your feedback is crucial.

- Exclusives will be fast purchases as soon as they touch the local market.
- Members are not expected to pay depending on the number of games they borrow at a time, but on a subscription/monthly basis.
- Memberships will be divided into group levels to make sure that everyone has a fair chance to get what they pay for.
- Promotional/extra DLC for every game will be added to a PSN account and will be useable by the current borrower of the game. (You must deactivate the account on your ps3 upon returning the game)
- All users are free to play the games they borrow and may continue to do so for up to 14 days. If another member reserves the game, the game may be played for up to 7 days more before return to be played by the next member.
- In the case of multiple takers for a game, it will be a case of first come, first serve or via lot in the case of a pre-ordered game.
- Security deposits will apply for membership. Should a member wish to leave, the money can be refunded within 2-4 weeks of notice.
- Group # 1 will be able to play the latest games in the first 2 weeks of release. After that, Group # 2 will be included in the accessibility pool, with Group # 3 following suit 2 weeks later.
- Both Group 1 and 2 will be able to borrow 2 games at a time maximum (Incl. move titles). Group 3 will be restricted to one game only (non-move games). Tier 1 will also be provided the PS move kit when needed to play move games.
