buying video games that is. first of all i can't afford to buy all the video games i want. honestly i can't even afford to buy ONE video game right now and the one i really want is et:quake wars. i'd also love to buy bf: bad company.
when those games come out they'll probably be available at $60-$69 and i don't fancy paying those kinds of prices. especially when i have to share my games with my husband or buy two so we can enjoy a multiplayer match together...seperately. we don't share well. he's an only child and i'm the eldest child, sometimes it's not a great combination. i'm a know-it-all and he's a spoiled shit. so there!
i started to think about it. let's say i only buy about 3-5 full priced games a year. count at least one of those as a dupe because of our little sharing problem. at $69 a piece, what i feel is the current average new release price, that's about $345 / yr. the monthly rental rate at gamefly is about $16 a month or $192/ yr. that's saving me about $153! on top of that most games will eventually be made available to buy.
let's say you rent a game and really like it. look up the cost to purchase and you could be saving upwards of 30 bucks or more for your games. i don't know why i haven't done it before either. i'm so happy with netflix that if it weren't for that i doubt i would ever given this a chance.
here's what's in my gameQ:
nija gaiden 2
et: quake wars
bf: bad company
alone in the dark
dark sector
army of two
history channel: battle for the pacific (i'm curious!)
left 4 dead (no idea what this is)
great thing is that if i try a game for a week, and dont like it i'm not fucking stuck with it! how fraggin' awesome is that????
