Thinking of trying Gamefly

I subscribed to the RedOctane service back in the day but haven't used a rental service in years because if the above (circa 2005) complaints.

UNTIL THIS WEEK!

So I subscribed on Saturday, made my 'Q', and before I had a chance to get all the games in it that I wanted I got an e-mail saying the first two had shipped.

Wow. Fast.

On Monday I see two Gamefly envelopes in my mailbox. Speed of shipping is not an issue, it appears. Unfortunately, one of the games I chose was Lost Planet. I'm going to give it a few more hours worth of effort before calling it shitty and returning it.

So far I'm happy with Gamefly. We'll see what happens with the turnaround on Lost Planet when I send it back (soon).

I've used gamefly for about 3 years and have loved it. I have the 3 game plan so I can have a game I'm serious about playing, a game I'm testing to see if it's worth a purchase and a game for parties/multiplayer.

I live in norcal so my turn around is 2 days at most (send a game back on monday get a new one on wed. is how it usually works).

One really nice thing is the used game prices there are often lower then that of gamestop etc. and since you buy the game that you have out you'll know before you buy it if it works / is in good shape and you will always get the box/manual in pristine condition (much more then you can say about most used game purchases from retailers).

Only bad thing I've found about gamefly is that for the larger titles availability is an issue. When Gundam: Dynasty Warriors came out for PS3 I had to wait a month for them to get me a copy (it was at the top of my "Q" the whole time), same with NHL08 for PS3 (maybe it's just an issue with PS3 games, idk).
