Hey question about this... I looked at all I could find on google. I wanted to rent some to see what I like to if I wanna buy them or not. What would you guys say is the best ... amount of games per month to pay ratio...

Blockbuster is like 1 game at a time and expensive...

gamefly you choose but its like 20 bucks a month for 2 at a time... and looking at arrival times thats not cheap... $3 at least per game and thats have it like 1 day.

Found this other that was ok but wouldnt accept my CC for some reason. Anyways I see where they get the money... people dont usually keep them for 1 day and so they are paying more than going to a movie place just so they dont have too... laziness.

Is there actually any cheap one out there though?

Thanks

yeah but how many do you actually get per month?

does it equal out to cheaper than goin to a place and renting them?

EDIT::

I think BB game pass is only at the stores. Plus its real like $21 dollars it says below in little print. ITs not a good deal. Unless you go to the store every day to get a new one... but you play it how long then?

I thought you said you could only get 1 per time... you said you got 3 one time though?

and yea I would do that but the closest blockbuster to me is like 20-25 minute drive so I cant go there every day or so to get my moneys worth

That sounds awesome. I'm seriously going to sign up for a month (or just a day when I have a lot of free time), bring my Laptop and just start ripping PS2 and Xbox games to my laptop HDD :lol: Which is only 80gb so i'd need to make a couple trips <_<

In store would probably be best.
Depending on where you are and where the Gamefly distribution center is mail could be 5 days to you and 5 days back. Which means you will not get many games for your money.
With in store rental you can use it a few days take it back and get a new one. That way you are going to get at least 4 a month even if you keep each for a week, which is plenty enough time to try any game. Figure it this way. Each game rental at Blockbuster is $7.99 so the price you pay for the game plan will work out much cheaper if you get 4 games a month ($3I am lucky, as part of my Blockbuster online movie club ($21) i get 2 free passes for a game or movie rental in the store each month so i get all the movies i can handle plus 2 free game rentals. And the distribution center is only 2hrs from me so my movie turn around time is quick. I get new one's about every 2 days.
