Only time will tell. It's annoying that Netflix is breaking itself up into two services, because that means you'll need two accounts and will be billed twice on your credit card every month. As for the video games, I don't see anything wrong with that. I hope the selection is good. | |

- GameFly has responded to Netflix's plans to carry video games.
"GameFly has expanded steadily over the past nine years by focusing exclusively on video gamers," the company said in a statement when asked about Qwikster. "We are the only retailer offering games physically and digitally for both rental and purchase."
GameFly purchased digital retailer Direct2Drive earlier this year, expanding their library to offer digital downloads in addition to games by mail.
"GameFly is the leading video game rental service, and we have continued to grow even as Blockbuster and Redbox increased their investment in console games."
Meanwhile, Blockbuster has launched a Gears of War 3 promotion that will run until October 7. Anyone who purchases the game in-store at Blockbuster will receive free unlimited in-store rentals of games and movies for a month.
"We want to get back on gamers' radars with a promo that packs a punch," said Randall Baker, Blockbuster's Senior Buyer of Video Games. "Gears of War 3 is certainly one of the biggest games of the year, but players may want to take a breather from fighting alongside Delta Squad every now and then. We're giving them nearly unlimited entertainment options for those spare minutes."
Thanks, Joystiq. | |
