Well I know there's a crap ton of releases on PC already. But it's launching with 1,500 games. Not a bad selection to start. Yeah especially since Gametap has only 600 titles. But I dunno, there HAS to be a catch somewhere....

I guess that all depends on their bandwith plans and what not. Depends on the customer. I'd say a service like this would cost round 20-25 bucks a month.
I usually do the Gamefly thing a few months out of the year, so this is pretty radical. I wonder if they is all-inclusive with the regular member fee, or another fee on top?

...What are you talking about?Why pay $25-30 per month for a PC rental service when one of the major perks of PC gaming is cheap games to begin with? Why spend all that money building and upgrading PCs to then rent games? I don't get it.

I rent games on consoles to see if I'll enjoy them or not. It's nice we'll be able to do the same for PC. Just cause it's cheaper, doesn't mean we're going to buy every, single game. Alsowhy play full price for 8-hour multiplats you'll never play again?

Why spend all that money building and upgrading PCs to then rent games? I don't get it. You still have to wait for the newest games to go down in price. Hell I could play Human revolution and a bunch of other games. for less than what I would pay for it new.

If it even costs that much.
How else are we supposed to try games these days? We rarely, if ever, get demos anymore. the only other way to try before you buy...is very much looked down upon.

do you know how much new games cost?
$10 less than a console game when not even on sale new. I was just doing the math in my head for a service like Gamefly and how many games you could buy off Steam on sale with that in a year. Just doesn't make sense. Whatever...if some people like it more power to them.
...and magically hermits no longer have a problem with used games.
GeneralShowzer
What problem? Or is my sarcastic meter broken? :P This has no connection to used games...Then obviously you have never used Gamefly. They offer users the option of keeping the rentals they play. That becomes a used game sale.
Hermits in general seem to be against used game sales mainly because they haven't had as easy access to them as console gamers do. If they do, I suspect some greasing of the wheels.

What does this really have with their digital PC store and services? Nothing.

How is that pricing for a used game compared to GS? I have bought plenty of used PC games, mainly of Ebay and have had no problem with them.
