60 hours in. Only 2 lockups for me ever. No lag.

@Jon Angelo Wow. Sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing......makes you think and appreciate. Hang in there.

You guys are really missing the most painful part of this. From now until he dies, EVERYONE.....3rd grade teachers, the new kids in middle school, the hot girl he wants to date, his boss.....EVERYONE will ask him where that unusual name is from. Even if it were a name that had some heroic history to it.....he'll still be spending time until he dies having to explain it, having people butcher it, etc. It's painful enough for people with more common but still awkward names. Now, throw in the fact that he won't even be able to say "it was my great Norweigan grandfather's name who overcame adversity and traveled ot the US to start a new life " but rather he'll have to say something like "yeah....it's um....an obscure character in a video gave from 27 years ago. My parents got free games for life."

It's gonna get oooooold.

I just realized I never finished Red Dead Redeption Zombie Nightmare! With this game being overpriced at $15 I think in gonna make RDRZN my Halloween fix. Wish it were $7 and I'd buy for me and the kids.

Yeah that steam site is SUPER hard to find.

I love Redbox too but I think this model is broken. When you rent a movie, it's a 2 hour event and you'll either watch it tonight or tomorrow and have it back.....typically $2 maximum to wach the movie if you're lazy and wait a day.

But with Games, unless you're 14 years old and burn the entire weekend, you don't finish up in a day or 2 (or 5). Sure, I've rented a game from Gamefly and said "okay, this blows" and dropped it in the mail the next day. With Gamefly's horrendous shipping time, turnaround on anything but the oldest stuff, I just wasted 1.5-2 weeks of calendar time so in that instance it wasn't really a bargain. But that is a rarity for me. Typically, when I rent a game (or my 14 year old rents a game), we'll play it for a week at a minimum. In many cases, that game hangs around for 2-4 weeks. In that case, thank goodness for Gamefly (currently at 3 disks/month).

So, here's what I take from this.....if it's an iffy game that you're not sure about or you're pretty sure you can beat it in 2 days (Portal 2), then Redbox is the way to go. If you know it's something you're going to like and its gonna take some time (Assassin's Creed 3, Dragon Age 2, etc.), you'd better get it in the Gamefly Queue baby because you'll break the bank at Redbox on those.

That said, COME ON GAMEFLY. You do need to have some more shipping centers. 2-3 days before you acknowledge you have it + 2-3 more days before it gets here after you ship it is too much. Not to mention that it does take an awfully long time if I've got a lot of new(ish) games in the queue and no old lame ones in there. It kills me to have 8-10 newish games lined up but immediately be sent that old game thats WAY DOWN IN THE QUEUE, just because my kid never got around to Dragon Age 1.

That last one was really really bad. I really liked 3. Thought they stole my money in 4.

The first time I put the plastic axe in and rocked out to Shout at the Devil (I think) and some Poison song on Easy setting was PURE MAGIC. It lasted through GH2 and was reborn a little when we got the drums and mic in World Tour. I will always look back at those times with me and my son battling each other in GH 1-2 as some of my best gaming ever. But MAN did they kill it. The set lists after those 1st 2 just SUCKED. I mean I never listened to The Beast and the Harlot outside of GH but what perfect plastic guitar song. And there were lots like that back then. They blew it.

Come on Fallen Earth, switch to this model and I might play again. The $3 a month that I give DDO is better than the $0 a month I WOULD have given them. I don't play enough to justify more.

I for a bike!!!
