Gamefly Allows Offline Rentals; Dooms Students

March 5, 2009 by myka

The Daily Toreador reports that Gamefly has installed their first Game Rental Kiosk (think of those DVD rental machines you see in supermarkets all over) on Texas Tech's campus.

According to the story "It will cost $1.99 for Wii games and $2.49 for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 games, Spector said. The G-Box also will offer a rent-to-buy option." and "The G-Box will come stocked with games for several platforms, including Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii".

Well students at Texas Tech, you can kiss your futures good-bye. As if the temptations on a college campus weren't bad enough with booze, sex, parties, and pranks, now you can add instant gratification gaming to that list.

Who needs to do homework when you can pickup a new game instead? Then again, this could be educational. Why read a long boring book on the history of bikers, when you have Grand Theft Auto IV and a quick download of The Lost and Damned so readily available!

Recheck your credit card balance -- if you're close to the limit, now is the time to settle up. There are lots of ways to manage debt like shaking trees and selling the apples that fall out. If you didn't understand this piece of advice, it's because you don't play Animal Crossing, and therefore, are not a complete idiot. Congratulations.

It would seem Sega is no longer a franchise but more importantly the video game industry has moved on from strictly 2D games. A pity really, since all that is Comix Zone will be lost forever.
