UMM, 14.95 a month for 2 games at a time through Gamefly, or 36 a month for 2 games with a possibility of late charges if returned late and the need to return and re-rent if wanting to keep it past a week.

I was shocked when I went to rent a game and it shot up from 7 to 9. I thought 7 was bad enough, but 9.........that just gives me no reason to go there any longer. Netflix is cheaper and actually has BD movies and Gamefly while slow at times is way cheaper.

 

14.95$ for 2 games at a time is a promotionnal offer.

Regular price is 22.95$ for 2 games at a time at GameFly.

 

And if you take the 1 Game out plan which costs 14.95$ a month expect 4-5 days delays in between games and no guarantee that you will actually get the specific game you really want ( you got the game at the top of your list the first couple times to attract you but after that if your queue has more than one game and your top game is a game working well, good luck getting it...)



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Thanks for the input guys, I wasn't aware of the mini-exploit there. True enough, 2 weeks of rental for $9 isnt bad, and if I focused, I could likely beat the games.



Hastings is 5.99 for 7 days, not bad



After this, a dont feel bad. Here in mexico is 1 rent for 70 pesos (at the actual change, like 5.5 dollars, more or les)... oh my, and i though than here was expensive...
