Gamefly Goodbye

I'm canceling my Gamefly account. I realized that I would rent games but not play them too much because I'm busy playing games I already have and haven't completed. Also, I have trouble investing myself in games I don't own for some reason and more importantly, there's enough demos coming out on Xbox Live that I'll already know which games I'll enjoy and which I won't. The point of Gamefly for me was to try new games so I don't waste money buying bad ones (which is the point of renting games from anywhere). Demos are doing that for me now so I don't really need Gamefly anymore. So I'm using my remaining $5 off on Deus Ex: Human Revolution and replacing that with Hulu Plus. I watch TV shows more than anything else so its weird I don't have it anyways.

Deus Ex, excellent choice. I really want to play that game too, more than Mass Effect even. Even with all the amazing 2012 games coming out this year, Deus Ex from last year is #1 on my to do list. You're not alone in feeling weird about playing games you don't own. It's hard for me to get into games I don't own. Granted I did borrow Dead Space and Prince of Persia from my best friend, beat them, and gave them back and I had a great experience during those games. But I eventually went to buy both of them. I hate not owning my games. When I rent them or borrow them it just feels too much like a commodity. I like to buy my games, play them on my own time, and have complete control over the whole situation.

Presicely. That's exactly how I feel about it. I did rent games when I was little but somewhere along the line that changed.
