Video Games are nearly a 10 billion dollar business. Things sure have changed from my old Atari 2600 video console. I think my parents paid about $50 for it. There were about 20 games cartridges available that cost about $15 each. By comparison todays Play Stations and X-Box systems are selling new for upwards of $500 and there are thousands of video game titles available. Some video games can cost more than $100!
Even back when I played that Atari, I know my parents concern was buying the video game cartridges. Would I get bored with them, would I even play them beyond the day they were bought? It’s not the cost of the game system that’s the problem, it’s the cost of the games!
Enter GameFly, it’s taken a business model that has worked well for the likes of DVD movie giants NetFlix and BlockBuster and applied it to video games. They have an inventory of over 5000 video games. You can try the newest, hottest video game on the market before you drop a hundred bucks to see if it’s a game you want to own for a long time. The best part of the concept though is that you can try some games you wouldn’t ordinarily buy. There are hundreds of games released without all the buzz of Grand Theft Auto. Some of those games quickly become favorites and you know your investment in the purchase is worthwhile.
The GameFly free trial is for 10 days. It begins as soon as you sign up, so be sure to go the the GameQ and enter your first selections. They will send out the first two available video games listed in your GameQ. You must cancel within the 10 day period if you do not wish to be billed. Should you wish to continue, there are several membership plans available. Memberships cost between $15.95 and $36.95. If you’re a casual gamer the 1 game out at a time for $15.95 is probably adequate, but if you or your kids have got the video game habit. Upgrading to the 4 game subscription for $36.95 is probably a good way to save some money by trying different games instead of buying.
