Yeah, that’s a good strategy. I’m new to the whole gamefly thing but I figure I’ll just buy em from them when I play something I feel is worth owning. Their prices are pretty good. About 20% off retail on a lot of stuff.

I’m still working up to buying a console and am torn between the 360 and the PS3. I know there are way more games for the 360 but I feel like the PS3 is the future. I just don’t know. If I was in the money I’d just get both. Maybe Santa will help me out. I’m hoping.

So I signed up with gamefly, load up my game queue and get Manhunt II within 3 days. Awesome. I go grab my messenger bag to grab my PSP and load it up and it’s gone. Nowhere to be found. After turning the house upside down it slowly dawns on me that it must have fallen out of my bag on the train. Bye bye PSP.

Long story short, a new one is on the way. I should have it any day now. I guess the only good news here is that gamefly lets you keep games as long as you want without any penalties or late fees. That’s a good thing because I’ve been staring at this UMD for going on two weeks now.

Will report more once I actually get to start using the service. So far so good. Just need a damn system!

[Armin]

Yeah, the more I look into it the more the 360 seems like the way to go. I just bought a 30″ Apple monitor and shit is sweet. I wanna plug whatever I end up with right into it. Gonna investigate but it seems like I’ll be able to get it done.

[Armin]

So it’s going up in other stores? Just not yours? That’s weird.

[Armin]

Yeah, I’m gonna go ahead and sign on. Seems like the way to go. They’ve got two distribution centers now – one on each coast – and people say that’s helped speed things up. If can play a few games a month I’ll get my money’s worth.

Merry Xmas!

Yeah, I read that. The review. There’s all kinds of stuff out there like that and then there’s all kinds of stuff that says gamefly’s the best one to use. There’s some guy who commented on that review and says they’re great. Talkin bout how he bought bioshock for $40 and all. That doesn’t suck. Guess I oughta just give em a try and see how it goes. That way when I finally decide what console to buy I’ll be all set up. In the meantime I can quit buying lame PSP games.

[Armin]

Cool, thanks man.

[Armin]

So I’m f’d either way. Nice. The PS3’s just so damn tempting. I hear ya on games and all tho.

[Armin]

See now other stuff I’ve read says you can use their “keep it” feature to buy whatever you’re renting (at a discount) and then they send you all the packaging and manuals for free. That’s actually one of the reasons I was gonna go with them over someone else.

[Armin]

So it’s doable then. Cool. So you’re sayin no on the PS3? Damn. I really want to get a console. You think the 360 is the better buy?

[Armin]

I’ve got a PSP and have played the DS and both are cool for their own reasons. I’d like to have both.
