Gamefly...

Gamefly is an excellent service. But it must be prefaced with a couple provisos.

1: Don't hold on to the game. Either play it straight through or send it back. If you keep a game long enough that the monthly rental fees would have paid for the game, you've failed at the idea of Gamefly.

2: This links to #1. Make other people playing games that you rented for them understand #1. Having your fiance holding onto a Spyro game and not playing it for 2 months is failing the idea of Gamefly. Gamefly loves you... but it's kinda silly.

3: When you desperately want a specific game. Like "must have it now otherwise I'm likely to run out and spend 60$ on a potentially two hour game but by god you want to play it" want it. Gamefly will not ship you the game you want. They will ship you the next game down on the list which won't even be in the same genre of the game you really really want to play.

4: Decide as quickly as you can if the game is worth keeping or sending back. But understand that with some of the deals that Gamefly has... it's pretty cheap to "Keep" the game.

Why am I talking about this stuff? Cause I've done all four of the above. *grin*

It's an excellent service and very worth while. Particularly for someone like me who wants to play all the new games but certainly doesn't have the income for it.
