At that price they're going to be fighting for customers on a purely ethical basis, since most usenet services are about $15 / month as well.
And there's not much that isn't on usenet. |

It seems to me that they're going to try to emulate the GameTap model. Just ask GameTap how many recent AAA games they have in their catalog... |

Much cheaper than paying $60 each, and if you get a crap game you can send it right back. This would be true but gamefly doesn't have the distribution network that Netflix has, Unless you live relatively close to one of their 4 centers it can take about 5 to 6 business days to send and receive games. I had their service for about 2 months but canceled becuase of the turnover and the inability to to get even 2 month old games. I will however be keeping my eye on this new service. |

Well, that's one game at a time, the sooner you mail it back the sooner they send you a different game, just like netflix. So maybe you'd rent 3 a month. Still a bad deal though. Blockbuster by mail is $12 a month for 1 game at a time. |
