I Get [Game]Fly with a Little Help From My Friends

Has anybody watching this blog noticed GameFly is offering a Wii for pyramid marketing behavior from new subscribers?

I have been kicking around the idea of a short-term subscription, but haven't joined yet. My free rentals from a different rental service will be ending this month and I really want to finish some games I don't actually own. It seems short-term rental is the only way to do that. Despite wanting a Wii, I don't want to be marketing to my friends. However, to my friends, feel free to let me know if you need somebody to be one of your 5 people.

If you use GameFly, do you like it?

If you subscribe to GameFly and need a new subscriber to get your recruiting quota PM me.

I haven't decided if I am going to subscribe, but the offerings seem to be . . . enticing.

Of the retail games I need to finish, a few have only one achievement left:

* Lego Star Wars II

* Alaskan Adventures (Complete with invulnerable squirrels)

* Meet the Robinsons (I just need to finish the puzzles)

And then there are the games I want to burn through just for the easy points:

* NBA Live 06

* Open Season

* Tony Hawk's American Wasteland

* Bionicle Heroes (Sorry Tom, but they seem like easy points)

* College hoops 2K6

* Fusion Frenzy 2

* NHL 2K6

* Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

* Samurai Warriors 2

* Samurai Warriors 2 Empires

* Surf's Up

. . . Maybe some others.

I think with some judicious planning and smart allocation of resources, I could definitely catch somebody less than 11,000 points away. After all their next closest competitor seems to be another four grand behind me.


Wait. I thought I was done with all the points race shenanigans. Maybe not.
