I read about it on IGN today and decided to check it out. It really looks like a pretty cool deal. Reasonable prices. And if you want to keep your game you can normally get a pretty good price on it then they send you the case and instructions etc…

I never rent games because I hate having to take them back before I have beaten them. This service looks like it will be pretty cool.

I just signed up today and put Deus Ex 2 and Need for Speed Underground in my Q.

Ill let you know how it goes!

Oh, its [www.gamefly.com](http://www.gamefly.com) if you wanna check it out.

I believe the guys at Penny Arcade tried it and loved it. The idea is awesome, but the monthly fee is a bit high for me.

If I were still a student and had lots of free time, I would so sign up.

As it is, I never know when I’ll get to play a game.

I’m hoping to start up in February. Well, whenever I finish FFXI (which I haven’t started) and FFX-2 (which I’m at 82% at. Damn those last few dungeons are hard!)

I’ll probably go for Prince of Persia and maybe finally give those GTA games a try.
