Because once you've forked over that $60, you cant go back. You're going to have to scrape up a few games to trade in to redeem your bad purchase. Only thing that fucks me over is these online passes. But I dont care for online play. It's more stress than fun in my experiences.

    I've literally rented each major, minor, and under the radar release in the past 2 years. Haven't bought a game since GTA IV. And I don't plan to in the near future.
    JMS pretty much rents all his games from Gamefly as well, so it's basically a moot point in regards to him.

    I buy all my games but I honestly can't remember the last time I "wasted" money on a game. I do my research and get probably at least 2/3's of my games on sale, used or very cheap.

    Gamefly wasn't for me because I'm a collector and would just buy the games anyway. Sure, I could "keep" them form Gamefly which people think is such a great deal, but is it really? When you're paying about $25/month for a two game plan you obviously need to factor that in when you are "keeping" the games, which a lot of people seem to forget. Even with promotions and discounts you're probably only saving a few dollars.

      Going off Buzzman, fuck everyone.

      In the past month I've played 4 games. Madden 11, Scott Pilgrim, Team Fortress 2 and some pokemon yellow

      I might pick up Halo soon, depending if I can get the 360 from my brother's room.

        I've always seen "Keep it" as a decent deal. For example, right now if I wanted to "keep" Halo Reach it'd cost me $46.75. Pretty much $20 bucks off retail(compared to the promotions you see at TRU, etc that's about the same deal). And as soon as you keep that game, the next game you have in your queue will be shipping out ASAP. So, you're not missing out at all with your monthly fee.

        I've kept, I think, 3 games from gamefly in my 4 years of subscription. And bought 2 games from the store for $5 bucks, and $1.85. It's been a pretty good deal with gamefly. I've not missed out on a single release, that I wanted.

        EDIT: I feel like I should be paid from gamefly. I'm always a fucking spokesperson for the service.

          Now that I've typed that. I dont think my argument pertains to what JMS was initially trying to say. But I still think it's true for a lot of gamers.

              I hear what you're saying but you do realize you are only getting the game for $46 because you are paying $20+ per month.

              And JMS, besides GT5, the Sly collection and the Move stuff I can't think of anything but I'm sure there are.

                  I'm interested in Black Ops because of the Vietnam/Cambodia setting. But I probably won't buy it. I guess we're just waiting for the next big thing to come about. The next new genre change/creation. Like GTA. It really defined open-world gameplay, though I think one of the Driver games did it first.
