considerations of late fees to consider. Unless you're a slave to making
sure you get to the video store on-time each time.
2. Games are WAY more than $2 each to rent here. I think it's normally
$5.99 for 5 days, but still. Late fees still may apply.
So based on #2, I'd have to play through 4 games a month to get my money's
worth. That's not so bad, and that's not even considering the late fees,
the trouble that may be entailed by going to the video store.
I drop my netflix stuff in my mailbox on the way out the door to work. No
problem.

For me, neither is worth the money, but the game one even less so. And to
me, subscriptions fees are a form of voluntary slavery.
It costs me $2/movie at the rental store. That means I need to rent a
minimum of 10 movies a month to just break even (provided I don't get
assessed late fees which I don't because I don't rent from Blockbuster.)
That's a minimum. So now because of a subscription fee, I have to schedule
my evenings around optimizing my 10 movies a month minimum. Yeah, that
sounds cool. And I generally spend a bit more than 2 hours playing a game,
so I have no idea how I would complete 10 games a month.
And god forbid I get busy and don't feel like watching a movie or playing
a
game. If a month goes by and I only feel like watching 1 movie, that movie
has just cost me more than it would have cost me more than it would have
cost to go buy the damn thing and watch it whenever I feel like.
Bah.
I'm a scrooge with my money. I'm allergic to debt and despise subscription
fees.
