Has anyone tried out this service? The guys at penny-arcade have been raving about it for months, and I had a little extra cash laying around so I thought I'd give it a shot. Personally, I think the entire concept is brilliant. For one, the drive to and from movie gallery is something I will definitely be able to do without. Also, the subscription fee IMO is fairly cheap (14 bucks a month for 1 game out at a time, 21.99 for 2), plus I don't have to deal with any of those nightmare late charges. But by far the most irritating thing about renting at places like blockbuster is the fact that the good games are always out. Whenever I go I end up having to rent some crap game because the one I want is never there.

So I just signed up for the free 10 day trial, and if I like it I'll probably subscribe for a few months. My first two games are going to be Onimusha 3 and Ninja Gaiden. I haven't played either one yet and I'm looking forward to getting the discs in the mail. I'm also hoping that a service like this will reinvigorate my interest in console gaming, which I'm sad to say has been waning as of late...
