How much do games weigh?

Ol!ver · 5 Sep 2007 at 09:38

Oddball question I know. I'm posting my copy of Bioshock to a buyer, but I'm trying out this online postage printing thing, and need to know what it weighs. Anyone know how much your average game weighs?

Cheers

well i posted a game recenty, and it worked out at 60p second class, if that helps.

100-120g for a guess

It cost me 64p to post X-Men 3 first class in the same country, that was with folded over cartridge paper in it too.

In a bubble wrapped envelope (like joffy bag) it is about 130-160g. (I recently posted about 10 260 games and they each weighed about this much).

I think they each cost £1.09 to send 1st class recorded signed for.

p.s. For 360 games stuff tissues in the case, to stop the disk moving about in transit. The DVD cases for 360 are rubbish and often the disc will dislodge from the central holder and get scratched..

Thick paper for artwork, usually watercolour paints.

Was just playing with the online postage thing, but it seems that if you're using signed for, then you still need to go into a post office. Was hoping I could just stick it in the letter box

Used to stop the DVD cases being crushed during transit.
