Just in case you missed the news from Netflix yesterday, he is a quick rundown. Netflix announced the are splitting their company into two parts. The first part being Netflix, which will handle all the streaming, and the second part being the newly announced Quickster, which will handle all the DVD rentals and also games. Could Netflix be ready to battle GameFly for  right to call themselves over-lords of game rentals? GameFly seems ready to fight.

“GameFly has expanded steadily over the past nine years by focusing exclusively on video gamers. We are the only retailer offering games physically and digitally for both rental and purchase. Gamers can try before they buy, choosing from new releases and classic titles that span the last decade. GameFly has more than 8000 games for 10 console and handheld systems to choose from, and over 1500 Windows/Mac games are available for download. GameFly is the leading video game rental service, and we have continued to grow even as Blockbuster and Redbox increased their investment in console games.” – GameFly statement
