Psychotomy

So, I decided to go ahead and sign up for Gamefly recently. 20$/mo, two games at a time. Even if I play only one game at a time, that’s 3 months I have to beat the game before it would have been cheaper to buy it.

And with two games at a time, I can switch back and forth or something. Or pick up smoething for DK. Like this first round I picked up the WALL*E game for Xbox, since he enjoys swiping my controller so much.

Signed up for a 30-day trial on Monday evening (holidays, weekends, etc, didn’t want to waste a day of free!), they shipped the top two on the list Tuesday morning. They arrived today. In comparison, Netflix is 99% next day (Tuesday would arrive Wednesday), most shipping from the East Coast gets here 1-2 days.

The return envelope has the PA sticker on it, but I don’t know if that’s where it shipped from or if that’s just the nearest return. But since both shipped same day and arrived together, they probably shipped together.

3 days is better than the 7-10 days that I’d seen online for some folks mid-west when there was a single distribution in CA, and if turnaround is decent (not sure what I mean by that) it should be OK. With the two games I can return one and finish the other while I wait or something.

The second game this time was the Star Wars Lightsaber Duels game for Wii. And it sucks. So I’m gonna toss it right back in the bin tomorrow, so we’ll see how that turnaround is in pt 2! :)
