Anybody do this to get their swag? Just wondering if it's worth it or not. Seems like a neat idea. seems to carry more stuff than just video games.

Hm, this sounds interesting.  I know they have similar things for food and coffee and makeup, etc.  But geeky things!  Might be cool.  Maybe if my "save your change" bank is smallish (which it probably will be), this will be a good option to try out.

Looks like a way for companies to get people to pay for freebies/clearance lines to me.

Seems like for every one decent thing you might get, you'd basically be paying money for stuff that's mostly crap and normally given away for free. At $13+ a month, I'd rather buy a used game or two.

Gonna' have to agree w/ these 2 posts.

This gives me a great idea. Anyone want to send me $10.00 for a random box of crap from my house?

Sounds like a grab bag at the comic shop back in the day. You'd pay $5 and get random stuff from the shop inside. Usually 1 good item, and the rest was complete crap.

I'll have to look at the unboxing videos before I make a judgment.  It could easily be bad, but maybe there are a few nice things that might come in handy for regifting.

Yeah, and I watched multiple unboxings and it looks like everyone gets the same thing except the one person who gets the mega crate or whatever. Massive meh.

Yeah, I'd like to hear how you make out & how you like/don't like later, too...
