srsly

i canceled my gamefly subscription because of the reasons outlined a couple days ago. they responded to my complaint by telling me that if i wanted to wait for “short wait” games to become available i should take out “available” games i might not want. which i put in my complaint letter as being a broken solution. so i guess that tells me a little about their customer service… when i went to cancel they told me i had 29 days left in my billing cycle. what that translates to is “we want you to wait some more for games we can’t send you in the hopes that next month you’ll forget again and we’ll get another 20 bucks out of you.” yes, i’m giving up a month’s subscription price because the service is that lame. it’s a good idea in principle, but they don’t have the inventory to back up demand.
i thought it might be a good idea but i did just buy a bunch of games for the wii and haven’t finished a couple for the 360. if i really want something, i’ll go buy it.

also, since i can’t seem to post without talking about bikes, i bought a road bike over the weekend.

it’s a 2006 Felt F65. Aluminum frame with carbon fiber wishbone seat stays and a carbon fiber fork. all ultegra components except the crank/bb which is a FSA Omega compact carbon crankset. i was originally going to get a 2007 F55 from my cousin, but their distributor was out until early May. it was a tossup between these two bikes but since they didn’t carry over the F65 to this year i went for the F55 since i could get a deal. but since they were out i called a LBS to see if they had any F65 left and sure enough they did. so instead of dura-ace and spending a lot more money, i got ultegra and saved a bunch.
