Rentals and Plugins

I cancelled my online rental subscription with GetGames.ca.  While the service in general is pretty good I found that shipping time to me was exceedingly long, upwards of 2 weeks in some instances.  This coupled with the fact that the 360 just doesn’t have a lot of games yet and the most popular games in my queue aren’t the ones I’m getting caused me to cancel.  I may go back to them in a year or so but for now I will concentrate on buying the games or renting them from my local Blockbuster.

Sadly it costs over $10 to rent a 360 game for a week here so in the end I’m thinking that using EBAY and buying the games locally is a better option.

Also version 2.0 of the web browser plugin for Windows Media Center was released.  Version 1.0 was promising though I honestly didn’t use it a whole lot.  I will probably try out v2.0 to see if it’s much better.  The developer wants a $10 donation to remove the banner (which supposedly is applied if you haven’t registered) so I will have to see first if I’ll use the browser more now that it’s features have been expanded.  You can read more and download a version for yourself HERE.
