Found rental solution, then got the shaft.

I mentioned gameznflix in my last blog and how I finally was fed up of losing money even with credits to my account, so I had cancelled. Which was fine until Orange Box and COD4 came out and I knew I wanted to play those but not necessarily buy them. So, I hunted around yet again and stumbled across a nice compromise with gamefly. If you also signed up at brightspot.tv and watched 30 second ads and rated them with 1 or 2 questions afterward, your brightspot account was credited 50 cents each time up to $10 per month. They partnered with gamefly and you could then use the credit towards your monthly fee. So, for me it would be 2 games per month at 12.95 instead of 22.95 - sign me up!!!

It took literally 4 minutes for me to finish and answer the first 6 ads. The question after each was a no brainer. Instantly, I had $3 credit. I filled out some more personalized questions and requested the types of ads I would like to see and a couple of days later I had an e-mail telling me I had more ads available to watch. I thought this would put me over halfway to my $10 credit and was actually looking forward to it. I planned on doing that today but last night received a message from a fellow clan and brightspot member and once again I got the shaft. Here's what is posted on brightspot right now:


14 months!  Boy, did I pick some great timing to sign up or what?
So, the hunt continues.... aarrgghh.
