With new PS3 games costing $60 a pop, how do you get around to playing all the great titles? Blockbuster? Gamefly? something else?

Work.. Ha jk... Usually i buy the ones i really want right away at launch but if i don't i wait a while and buy them on ebay for cheap.
I dont play every new game, sometimes I waita month and buy a used copy, unless I really want a game as soon as its out
GTA4 was a good example, here in the UK a new copy was £40 (70$ US), when it was released, I waited a month and found a used copy for £22, it looks brand new, and plays like brand new, so im fine
Buy'em used. Avoid GameStop. Utilize local resale shops (CD Max, Disc Go Round, Mega Media Exchange, etc.)& the internet (Craigs list, Ebay, etc.). Make sure the resale shop has a trial period (to make sure game runs on your system- glitch free), and meet internet traders in a public place (no dark alleys).
During my most recent stop to a local resale retailer I picked upBioshock for $15, Blade Runnerfor $14 (Bluray) & the entire Indiana Jones collection for $20 (DVD). That's a ton of entertainment for less than $60.
Don't get me wrong, when slick new titles come out Icovet them like mad until the used prices drop to my level. I never spend more than $20 on a game. Some of my best PS3 games were under $20 (Orange Box, Warhawk, & Ressitance1).
I´m buying only games I really like. Wich keep me playing even after I finished the storymode. That´s why I like games like Oblivion, Skate 2 and COD´s. They keep me playing what gives more value to my money. I never buy games like Devil May Cry or any other game that´s really linear and there is nothing to do after your first playthrough. I just lend them from friends. Like Mirror´s Edge.
