sMoRTy71.com: Back on GameFly

Back on GameFly
I tried a free 30-day trial of GameFly earlier this year and I liked it a lot. However, with Netflix and Rhapsody subs, another $22 for GameFly seemed too much for me.

On Thursday, they sent me one of those "we-want-you-back-and-we'll-give-you-a-discount-to-prove-it" kind of e-mails. Like a sucker, I took. However, there is actually some logic at work here:

1. They allowed me to pre-pay a 2-month subscription for $34.95 ($17.50/mo)
2. There are a ton of games out right now that I want to play (NCAA Football 06, LEGO Star Wars, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith)
3. There are a bunch of games that I want to play coming out in the next couple of weeks (Madden 06, Burnout Revenge)
4. I would rather rent XBOX titles now and then buy the really good ones when the XBOX 360 is released on November.
5. I'm cheap and don't want to buy all of those games at one time.

So GameFly looks like the best way for me to still play the games I want to play while waiting to buy some of these titles (Madden 06, Burnout Revenge) for the 360.
