<p>Anyone have experience renting video games in the dorms. Thinking of starting a GameFly account this summer to save on games. A 12 month plan is the cheapest option, but I'm not sure about having games sent to my room. anyone do that before?</p>
<p>Sorry to bust your balls, but video games, especially during your college semester is a waste of time. I mean, if you want to play video games during your summer, or play video games during the weekends in moderation, that is fine, but other than that you will regret it in the long run.</p>
<p>word to that. party games would not be a bad idea like guitar hero or mario kart. spend your time doing something else. you can play videogames at home.</p>
<p>Gamefly would be fine. The 2 out at a time plan is good. </p>
<p>And don’t listen to the last 2 people. Playing games in the dorms is big among males. </p>
<p>Before guys go out for the night, they will be playing games of FIFA, Madden, NBA 2k, Halo, Gears, etc a lot of time.</p>
<p>Video games is a great social activity. If you walk down any male dorm hall at night, you will be hearing a multitude of rooms playing some type of game.</p>
<p>One guy in my dorms seemed to be playing games all day…his grades probably weren’t that good.</p>
<p>But you don’t go to college to stop doing the stuff you enjoy. If you enjoy video games, bring them and play them. It’s a good social activity, as almost every guy likes playing video games. What’s the point of life if you’re not doing stuff you enjoy?</p>
<p>Thanks akhman24. I’m not sure what they were thinking. A little diversion is necessary and I’ve played games through highschool and gotten high grades.</p>
<p>Anyway, do you think the two game plan is good? How many games can you get through a month? I was thinking of the two game plan since it would be kinda cool to have a steady supply of games to play with people and enjoy waiting to see what was coming next. Think I’m going to do it. I’ll save almost $60 signing up for 12 months.</p>
<p>idk. I did Game Fly for like 6 monthsin high school, about 3-4 years ago. The problem I found is that I’d have a game just sitting around, not really playing it, just wasting money on Game Fly.</p>
<p>But the games came pretty quick, and the 2 game plan is good, because you can always have at least 1 game from game fly, while the other is in the mail.</p>
<p>At my school, you can borrow tons of games from the library.</p>
<p>Depending how well you manage your time, you could certainly play video games in college. </p>
<p>My college had free game and movie rentals on campus. You give up your school ID, they give you a game or movie, and when you return it, you get your ID back.</p>
<p>Does your college have a similar program?</p>
<p>Regarding GameFly, and I don’t know how they work so advanced apologies if I’m way off, but you should try renting from them a few times before locking into a 12-month plan, to see whether you’ll actually play the games as often as you think you will, and whether you, in general, like how the company operates.</p>
<p>I suggest playing video games if you want to “be normal.” This isn’t the 1990’s anymore, video games are “in” now.</p>
<p>who rents games…</p>
<p>I do now. I signed up this morning and put a few games in my queue. I just started with the 12.95 first month and then normal price 2-game plan.</p>
<p>Waiting to see what ships first.</p>
<p>Noticed they take trade-ins for rental credit. I have a couple of stacks of games I haven’t played for a couple years. Checked the trade in on a few of them and averaged it. I could game for free for the rest of year if gamefly took most of what I have?</p>
<p>That would to cool. Have to think if I’ll ever play these again.</p>
<p>playing video games is best option. To stay bizzy at your free time. I do that most of the time</p>
<p>I totally agree with "NuclearPakistan1 "
games are fine only on weekends.</p>
<p>get a modchip and use backups</p>
<p>Gamefly is a waste of money…</p>
<p>Just buy games used or something, you get to keep them forever</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Depends on the type of person you are. For me, you’re totally right. I buy one game, then play it online for months to come. But some people like having a new game to beat every week. It costs too much to actually buy a new game every week. (Or even used)</p>
<p>So far, so good. My first two games arrived on Tuesday. I sent one back yesterday after it failed to grab my attention. Second one I’ll stick with until the next one arrives.</p>
<p>I’m interested to see more how the queue works.</p>
<p>First impression. Regardless of how long I keep games, being able to just send stuff back I don’t like is pretty awesome. That saved me 60 bucks right there. I was careful about only putting games into the queue I thought I would like. Now I think I’ll start taking some chances and try games I normally wouldn’t, since I can just send them back anyway. Coolness!</p>
<p>Who plays games in college? That’s for high school.</p>
<p>Uh, no it’s not. Plenty of people play games in college.</p>
<p>Pictures or it didn’t happen.</p>
