Hey there Unionites!

You lot are usually fantastic in supporting the site and so we thought that we should let you know about a little trick that you can use to help us out with very little work on your behalf! Doesn't that sound like a sweet (and deliciously lazy) deal? Then ask yourself this: Are you the sort of gamer that is always spending your your hard earned gil (or rupees that you stole from someone's house after smashing all their pots) on the internet to buy all the latest and greatest titles? Specifically on the massive marketplace that is Amazon?

Now imagine, if you will, that there is a way to make all your usual purchases through Amazon but showing support for Gaming Union at the same time. All it takes is you setting up a bookmark in your browser that directs you to Amazon through our affiliate link! It couldn't be simpler and it doesn't cost you anything extra. How can this be achieved, you might ask?

All you have to do is use one of the following links every time you go to make a purchase at Amazon (depending on your region):
AMAZON UK
AMAZON US

To make it easier for you, just drag the link for your store up to your bookmark menu or taskbar, or right click it and select "Bookmark this page" (depending on your specific browser). That way, everytime you use the bookmark you're taken through with a virtual little tick box to support Gaming Union without any forethought from you! Neat! The best part is that it doesn't even matter if you're buying video games or not. Absolutely any sort of purchase is valid.

For absolute clarity, the affiliate program works as an advertising service for Amazon. Everytime you buy something, they recognise that Gaming Union sent you over to their site and gives us a pat on the back. It doesn't cost you anything extra and you can sleep a little easier at night knowing that you did a good thing for us by spending all your money on new video games! Score!

Thanks guys and girls!

Cool! The only problem is, GU is now one of at least a dozen sites I frequent that have taken up this method. Tongue

I should totally get off my butt and figure out whether to do it for GU or http://www.decoderringtheatre.com/ Because I do love them both!

Do you guys get to see what people are buying? I seem to remember David mentioning some... interesting purchases that he'd noticed when he had this set up over at FXN. Tongue

Yeah not having being able to purchase stuff over the internet sucks.
