Re: Dying Companies Along with Blockbuster, I wish Gamestop would die too. Gamefly (like netflix) makes it much easier (and cheaper) for games.
Only one thing bothers me, who is in charge of the content. Although Netflix is ideal, I've already seen delays because Hollywood is throttling the content to them (with preference to sell retail media first and then allow rental after 28-30 days). "he who controls the spice..."

I honestly don't think the used game aftermarket is a good thing at all. It prevents content providers from making money on game purchases, and because the tail-end of the curve is leeched off of by these brick and mortar shops, they essentially can never lower prices since they'll always be undercut 50% by the "competition". |

While I agree with Blockbuster, I disagree about Gamestop. My local GS stores run decent sales, always have what I want in stock and a good selection of used titles.
That said, EBGames was better and that got trashed after the merger. For me the Gamefly model doesn't work because I play games over and over and over a period of time while watching a movie only once. I see little appeal in Gamefly. |
