I'm considering it, because I'm a bit of a "discerning" gamer, and there are a lot of games I want to try out before I lay out 40-60 bucks to play them. I've read some mixed reviews online talking about slow delivery and poor availability for newer titles, but you know how internet reviews are.
Anyone?

You are describing my experience with them. I won't be using them again

Hmm....that's discouraging. I have a friend who used them and thought they were pretty good. I just signed up, since there's a 7.95 month free trial. I'll give 'em a shot, but don't have my hopes up.

I only received games that had been out for a couple of months; never a new release. That was my main problem with them.
JoelWhy:
If you're interested in older games, I highly recommend Goozex. I've been using that service for a couple of years with great success. It's a game trading sight. Games are given a 'points' value based on supply/demand. So, a brand new game is usually 1,000 points, while a 3 or 4 year old title might be worth 150 points. The only money exchanged is you pay Goozex $1 per trade that you receive (i.e. you don't pay a fee when you send a game) and you pay for shipping of games you send (which costs me less than $2 sending via regular mail.)
It's great for getting games that have been out a while. I wouldn't use it to get the newest online game that I want to play on day 1, but for an RPG that I can wait a few months? It's a great way to go.

so kinda off topic, do any of you stream stuff your x-box? I've had mixed results but would like to stream video podcast to x-box without having to constantly mange and move files. It sucks zune dosn't include podcast yet but that should be coming soon. I tried TVersity but the free verson is really buggy and worked once but crashed a lot after that. I would really like it if I just get all the revison3 shows/podcast on the x-box. I know they annouced yesteday live TV and bunch of good stuff comeing down the line but anyone have any good tips for stream now? I know you should theroticly be able to just share your podcast folder but the x-box never seems to pick that up.

Well I streamed eveything to my xbox, it's really great for music becuase it plays in the background no matter what your doing. However if you've set WMP to share your media or set the Zune Software to share your stuff and the Xbox still doesn't see or work with your computer you have quite the problem (same problem I currently have). It would also do video podcasts well if you ever go it working. The only thing I can recommend if you can't get it to work is just keep asking Xbox's Customer support until you get a guy that actually wants to help.
Oh and my Xbox Live Gamertag is now: Rocket Man
P.s. becuase of my awesmoe gamertag please include the text SGU or clarify that you are from the forums because I get a lot of random friend requests. usually from people who really like Elton John.
