Gamefly

Well, for better or worse I'm a gamefly customer.  I say for better or worse because I've never used them before, and didn't see a great benefit for the type of gamer that I am.  I skip around from one game to another to another to another, so I may have 4-5 in progess games, that doesn't match well to a rental system.  I've also heard several negative stories about turn around time for games after you've returned one.  So thats the worse, now for the better.  I have a 9 day vacation coming up just around the corner, to hopefully give them a good go.  I've already loaded my queue up with about 15 games that I've wanted to give a shot, but never bought, as well as upcoming new releases.  So I'm trying to go in with an open mind.  For a skeptics view of Gamefly stay tuned, I'll try to remain as honest and objective as I can.

I wouldn't have signed up for the account, but my wife plays facebook games and one of their "special offers" was to sign up for a trial offer for a load of ingame cash, so she did it to "help me out."  Since she signed me up while I was away she put the first games in my queue, so the first game I'll be getting will be Bayonetta.  Which is a game I've been wanting to play, but of course she's getting it for the PS3 instead of the Xbox, which I'd rather play it on.  So I'll be playing it with inferior graphics and longer load times.  Thanks sweetie. 

What can I say though, she was thinking of me, and is trying to save us money as well as increase my game playing.  I've found a great wife that enjoys and supports my game playing hobby.  She was as excited about God of War III and Bioshock II coming out as I was.  Maybe even more for Bioshock II as I haven't played it much at all, and haven't touched any multiplayer aspect.  Gamer girls are hot!
