GameStop ad reveals Power Pass, a 6-month “unlimited gaming” subscription service

For the frugal gamer with more time than money.

With people consuming more games than ever, there's a growing need for an alternative option for people who lack the means to buy a game whenever they want. An image of a GameStop ad has made its way to the internet (courtesy of ResetEra) showing off a service called Power Pass which lets PowerUp Rewards members subscribe to a six-month program for $60. Power Pass allows subscribers to pick out any pre-owned game, play it, and swap it out for another one at any GameStop location.

At the conclusion of your rental period, you have the option of keeping the last game, which seems to be quite a deal to anyone who subscribes to the program. 

This seems to be a better deal than GameFly's subscription service, which is $15.95 at its base level for a single month. Just for comparison's sake, if GameStop's Power Pass and the PowerUp Rewards program cost you $75 total ($60 for the Pass, $15 for the Rewards) for six months worth of time, you'll end up spending $95.70 at GameFly for the exact same thing.

Sign-ups for GameStop's Power Pass begin on November 19th, 2017.
