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?

I am pissed. Sometimes Steam is great and other times Steam sucks. Sometimes its all in U.S.D. and charging U.S. prices but other times its in U.S. dollars but charging a local price! In these instances I get it from the local online game store.

I can't keep them as long as I want but that means I get through them. Usually more time is just counter productive anyway, and with most games under 10 hours long its no issue to finish them in a week. The more I rent, the cheaper it is so I have every incentive to rent as much as possible. I can have each game for 1-8 days for new ones and I can keep extending the old ones out. This is where patience comes in handy, I lose nothing waiting a month for a game and therefore get cheaper prices.



Tease.
