I am assuming that you are reading this because you are a serious gamer. As an avid gamer myself I used to spend anywhere between $60 - $200 a month on video games. You know what I am talking about, don't you? The latest installment of Call of Duty was out so I had to run to the store and get it. The latest Madden hit the store shelves and I had to stop everything I was doing in order to buy it. Another $60. Does this sound familiar?

Look, being a gamer is awesome as it brings you endless hours of fun but it is pretty expensive. The cost of the hardware alone is pretty high, then you add the games that you want and before you know it, being a gamer is just as expensive as trying to send your kid to college. Well, I don't have a kid, but I am assuming that it is pretty expensive.

And it's not just the money spent. The problem with trying to get all the games that you want is that you will eventually beat the game and then push it aside. Sure, you can bring them to your local video game store to trade in, but you'll be lucky if you get $20 in credit. And that's for a brand new game! I'm sure you are wondering how to get the latest games without breaking the bank, right?

You see, a great new way to enjoy video games is Gamefly. This service works like all those movie rental services where you have a Queue where you select which games you want shipped to your house. Once you get it in the mail, you can keep it as long as you want and when you finished the game, get bored with it or you simply decide this isn't what you wanted to play, you stick the disk back in the paper envelope and send it back in the mail. In just a couple of days you will receive the next game in your queue and so on. That doesn't sound too bad, huh?
