    • GameFly needs to improve quality of service

      Perhaps, I have been spoiled by Netflix, but so far I have not been impressed with Gamefly. Given the cost, I have decided, at least for me, it's not worth the cost. To begin with, Gamefly is substantially more expensive than Netflix. The 1 movie at a time plan at Netflix is $8.99 per month and the 2 movie plan is $13.99.

      Thanks to another Gamespot forum poster (that I cannot remember the username of to give credit to ) I stumbled upon an interesting website--myminicity.com. The concept of the website is that users create a city that grows, or stagnates, based on how often people visit the site. City creation is simple and free. You need only pick a unique name and select which county the city is based in. When people visit the cities website additional citizens and other improvements are added. Initially, a visit to the city's website increases the population. Later as the city increases in size, other options become available, including adding industry, transportation options and security. Each user (presumably tracked by IP address) can make one improvement per day.About a week ago I founded... Read more »
