Sometimes I wonder if other people are as anal about keeping their Gamefly queue financially balanced as I am. It's something I'm really careful about, because otherwise the rental costs would end up being way more than it would have been to just outright buy the games I rented because of how long it takes me to make it through a console RPG. Like the one I just sent back yesterday I had out since mid-September, which at sixteen bucks a month means that since getting it I've paid them over twice as much as what the game costs new. But I picked the next six games I'll be getting to all be things I know I'll be able to beat in just a few days each, which will balance out the last five-and-a-half months and put me a goodly amount ahead, yay! Then I'll get another long RPG which will eventually put me back in the red, and the cycle continues.

(Getting a free or massively price-reduced game from them every six months helps too.)
