GameFly Does PC Games?

/

GameFly is a great source for renting console games.  You spend about $15.95 a month and get one game out at a time, play your fill, then send it back and get a new one.  Sure you may have to wait for the more popular games, but it can be cheaper then buying every game.  Well now they plan to add on from consoles to both PC and Macintosh.  This holiday GameFly is setting up a new application that looks to include unlimited PC/Mac video game play as long as you subscribe.  This could quite potentially take a bite out of the OnLive market if they have more games available combined with the console game rentals then with the OnLive Play Pass has to offer.  If you are interested in trying it out you can sign up for the beta at http://www.gamefly.com/download-games/beta/.
