GameFly?

Decided that as soon as I’ve got a hankering for a new game, rather than purchasing it, I’m gonna start up a GameFly account. I get a lot of games for cheap through the Want Ads at work, but despite most games being on the order of $5, it’s costing me money that I don’t really need to spend, as most of the games end up being purchases mostly out of curiousity, just to see the mechanics of a particular game. GameFly’s got an interesting setup, in that if you like a game, you can keep it at preplayed prices – and as such, you can see the condition of the disc in your own house, and the instructions/case are *new* because they never send them out.

So, working on Knights of the Old Republic II and GTA:SA now, so it’s not like I need to start it up now, but in a month or so, rather than buying a new game, I’ll start up a GF account. I want to break the “collector” mentality, where I’m in the habit of buying games. It’s an expensive hobby, and a sort of stupid habit, as I doubt if I play more than 25% of the games I’ve got on any sort of even remotely regular basis.

    It’s about time you set up a GF account.

    Either that, or just get WoW. It’s the last game you’ll ever play and it’s cheaper per month than GF. 😉

    I have KOTORII and MGS3 still in their plastic wrappers (XMas gifts). I dropped GTA:SA and GRII, which I both really enjoy, like bad habits once I started playing WoW.
