They’ve actually had this going for a while now and the credit on membership fees is actually pretty great, coming from the perspective of not wanting a mountain of games sitting around that I never play which is one of the reasons I got on board with Gamefly to begin with. That and the obvious savings over buying everything I want to play. I’d be living in a box if I did that.
Put it in perspective and it becomes particularly relevant now since you can more or less pay for a good hunk of your Gamefly subscription with trades instead of the increasingly elusive dollar. It’s pretty smart when you think about it.
Depending on what you might have to trade in, you could be looking at a good 3 – 6 months of Gamefly. That doesn’t suck. It’s essentially playing for “free” and who isn’t down with free these days?
