So after a long, fun, and sometimes stressful time in online gaming, I’ve come back to my roots. Yup, that’s right. I’m a console whore now. After the computer upgrade, the video card upgrade, and getting two systems (xbox360 and DS lite), I’m more than a little bit low on the normal cash flow.
I have to catch up with like 4 years of missed console games though, so I had to figure out some way to ensure a steady diet of new games. Apparently the solution was easier than I thought. GameFly is the Netflix of videogames – you choose what games you want to rent, they ship them out to you within 2-4 business days, and you play them for as long as you want.
I’ve never used this kind of thing before, so I was worried that the games would be fucked up (similar to some of the crappier rental places). Well, I signed up last week, they shipped the games out over the weekend, and we got them today.
Both disks were in great condition (much much better than rentals or pre owned games normally are), they got here quick, and if we really dig any of the games we can keep them for a pretty fair price. So I’m going to give Gamefly two thumbs up.
We have the two game plan which lets us rent two games at a time. It runs us 21.95/month (which is definiately a better alternative than buying all of these games). They have a one game plan for 14.95, and after you’ve been with Gamefly for 60 days you can take out 3 and 4 game plans.
You can get a month trial as well, which is pretty spiffy. This is one of those services that I just can’t say enough about because it’s awesome and saving me a fuckton of money.
Btw – if you have any suggestions for Xbox 360 or DS / GBA games that I should be checking out, please leave a comment!
Also, for putting up with my rambling this long, here’s some tits and ass for you courtsey of Erotic BPM:
