Hi all.
As you know I am still looking into convenient places to rent mainstream
games to test them for accessibility. One of my nephews who is a big
gamer told me about a service that he said might actually save some
money and would definitely be easier to deal with. The service is
called gamefly and it basically works like the netflix service if any of
you are familiar with that. For those who aren't, you basically pay a
monthly fee and for that you can be mailed a number of games, I think it
is something like 22 or 23 bucks a month if you want two games at a
time. There is no return date or late fees you can keep them pretty
much as long as you want, in fact there is a way to buy them outright
for a pretty good discount if you want to. One game at a time is
something like 16 or 17 dollars I believe so it is not that much less so
two at a time is probably a better deal. When you are done with them
you just put them in the mailer and send them back and if you have
another one in what they call your game queue they will go ahead and
send it to you. I have not quite decided whether or not I can spend
that much extra a month to try this service out for psp games.
According to my nephew you will go through that amount of money real
quick if you try to rent games from a video store or whatnot plus the
inconvenience of having to be sure they are back by a certain date. The
good thing is, there is no contract or anything, if you want to quit you
just quit. I am not sure if this is just available in the U.S. and
perhaps Canada, but I suspect so. If I decide to try it out I will let
you guys know.
Best regards,
Tom
