Hey, all, Happy New Year:
El Swordo covered this in this blog post, but I wanted to see if i could get some more opinions.
I've had a PS3 since Oct 2007. In that time I've spent $711 on video games, discounting stuff I've received as gifts (yes, I'm that anal. I have the spreadsheet to prove it!) If i had signed up for Gamefly when I got the PS3, I would have spent $617 via the one game at a time plan.
I've been up in the air about joining Gamefly. It's probably cheaper in the long run, as once I finish a game I rarely replay it. I tend to finish about 6 games per year (not counting music/rhythm games.)
OTOH, I'm pretty good at avoiding paying full retail (best ever: Brutal Legend new, $6!). Also, if the game has decent multiplayer, I like having it on hand.
I'm thinking that given my thrifty habits, I might stick with buying for now. However, Gamefly could probably let me experience more games per year with less clutter in the house.
Any thoughts/opinions? Thanks for reading and talk to you later.
