Err ok. Most new games arent worth a purchase anyway so I would rather spend $20 a month to rent them and play them once than spend $130 NZ on one new game. Steam sales make it even harder to justify any new game purchase especially when I can pick up 10 or so good games at the same time for less than what people here pay for one console game at launch.
You're a sucker if you buy first day and the console makers love you for it. |
IDK. The bolded part is a bit strong.
While I agree with you that most day one games aren't worth the $60 pricetag, sucks you have to pay that much in NZ, some are worth it. And there is not much of a reason to pay so much anyways most of the time. Like I said in another post I pre-ordered RDR and only payed $40 for it off Amazon. Well I got a $20 giftcard but still nice deal. I also just bought Just Cause 2 for $40 at BB cause I'm part of there Gaming lub thingy lol. I know this one ain't really new but It's still a $60 game.
And as far as gamefly goes. I agree it's a nice service but come on do you really get the new games sent to you? I have yet to get a new game I wanted. I had 5 games skipped on my cue last week and got GoW3. Now I know GoW3 is a new game, and I like it enough although not a huge fan, but they skipped 5 friggin games. $20 a month is a new game every 3 months at full price and a lot more when you don't pay full price, and I rarely do. I'm caceling this week for sure.

Well you're a sucker if you have to pay $85-90USD for games! Especially when I can get games off Steam for usually $10-30 U.S.D. on sale.
I don't use Gamefly I rock on over to the rental place just down the road and I pick something out. I can get day one new release games if I really want them by booking in advance. Alternatively I split the cost with friends like with Final Fantasy XIII I split it 4 ways and I only put in 1/5th the cost since I didn't care if I was last in line. Multiple discs just makes game sharing a tonne easier.

Yea If I had to pay that much for games I'd be pissed too. Steam really is the best thing EVER! I won't even buy a PC game unless it's on steam anymore.
And that gaming rental store sounds nice. Do they let you keep the games as long as you like?
