Fuck. I thought you meant a literal Gaming Netflix, like Netflix bought them or something.

[cool breeze]

yeah, depending on how this works, I'll finally subscribe

PM me if you do, Linkzg. I need some referalls! This is a good chance to get some numbers.

i just recently canceled my gamefly sub last month, heh.

i imagine it'll be an opt-in kinda thing like blu-ray access in netflix.

I was just about to cancel my sub, but maybe I'll hold on to it a little longer now.

So gametap 2.0?

Will be interesting to see how many and how new of games they stock.

I got a beta code today. So I installed this.

The interface is nice, was easy to install. All you need is your email/password for your account.

The lack of text search is lame.

In fact, browsing for games is pretty terribad.

The beta selection is pretty wack - unless you really, really love Telltale.

* Other notable games include Saints Row 2, The Wheelman, Assassin's Creed (1), Prince of Persia (2008), Dark Void Zero

Adding to your GameQ is easy, though unnecessary.

You can't add friends of some sort (I think that is coming soon - there is a section blocked off watermarked COMING SOON)



Overall, this is beta so there's hope that more games are added later down the road. But as a no-charges added freebie, I am satisfied.
