i was thinking about using it but I just like the idea of having games. I like collecting them. I would rather hav a large collection and not play then only rent two at a time and not get to play them again until i rent them.

That still doesn't make sense. Why not get Gamefly or some other service and rent the games you otherwise wouldn't get because they're not worth it (too short), and if you rent something you really like you "Keep it" for a reduced price?

Edit - Did some research, gameznflix apparantly has very bad service. I checked their better business bureau file and there were lots of complaints. If you have a problem, you can't reach them by phone (only by webchat..based in India). So basically, the price is what draws people to them, they sell a service they cannot provide.

Well thank you for correcting me Taek. I do stand corrected. And to answer your question, no I do not use Gameznflix. I have just been doing some comparison shopping of the online rental places, and I guess i didn't look deep enough into each companies practices. I will exclude Gameznflix from my search, but I still hope to find something better than Gamefly.

def worth to rent. theres always a few games that r good to own. but it sucks to buy a game that u wont be playing in a month or 2. just like dvds. some u buy some u rent.

ha ha ha i have it totaly sussed...my brother has more money than sence and he buys 99% of all games that have been released (also PSP and DVD and Music) so when he finished the game which is always pretty fast i just mooch it of him and i get to play it as long as like free.

it is good to be able to rent games because out of the 9 or so games i own i play only 3 of them all the time online.

For those of you using GameFly I thought I'd mention that you can save $5 a month on your membership by watching video clips at BrightSpot.tv.

gamefly aint worth it... i had them for 3 months.. and they are slow shipping and receiving games.. atleast it was for me.. it took me about 5 days to recieve a game and about 7-9 days for it to be returned and cleared from my list... which sucked.. i haven'ted tried out the other ones yet.. but thinkign bout it...

there overpriced IMO...
