I'm totally with you on managing your game queue. I don't think a lot of people realize that they need to be a little bit more proactive to maximize the all the benefits. That said, more and more I'm thinking gamefly actually is for everyone. Especially with new games getting as high as $70. It's getting ridiculous and totally cost prohibitive to buy new games. When you break it down gamefly's pretty freakin cheap. I mean, if you assume the average cost of a new game is going to fall right around $50 you're going to spend what you would on a year using the 2 games at a time plan on five games. Even if you keep a game for a month or two, you still end up ahead. Last year I must have gone through 40 gamefly games and while I try to heed your advice by not renting crap, every now and then something comes through I just don't like. Being able to send it back ends up paying for my gamefly subscription right there. Like ten times over. And with all the $5 coupons you end up with when you do go to buy something it's bargain basement from gamefly and in pretty awesome shape. I've gotten pretty much brand new games from them whenever I buy something. I also like that they keep working to style you out with options. The free MP3s are pretty cool and I'm getting ready to send some games into them for trade now that they're doing that whole thing. Bottom line is that they're pretty much the only way you can get to play everything that's affordable. Hey, nice post. Good review. I’m totally with you on managing your game queue.
