The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    This would probably never work as people like lots of different games. For example I can totally own any first person shooter but if you put me in front of a wheel then I just keep crashing. My mates the total opposite.

    It's a nice idea but I don't think it would really work in reality as people's computers would just get clogged up with games as well and what sort of insane budget do you think people have anyway?!?!?!??!?!!??

    Well it could be for people willing to try different games and you could buy an older game once a month or every other month. Right?

    Well, I think their comparison to a book club is pretty apt. With a book club, you're never going to find a book every month that fits into a genre that everyone will like. But there could still be something interesting about people playing and trying out different games each month and then discussing what they did and didn't like about them.
