I've heard positive things about it if you don't mind the price.
I found a service that does DvDs AND games, but it was really terrible. The selection was small and it would take 3 weeks for something to come in. Never heard anything like that about Gamefly though.
I had it for about 8 months and it was GREAT! I only got rid of it because money was a bit tight. I would suggest doing the 2 games out at a time so you can always have one when you are waiting for another one. Oh, and make sure that when a new game comes out that you want to rent, that you have it as the only game on your queue and make sure and have one game returned. If you don't, you won't be able to get that game for a long time! Trust me on that one!
I've had it for 3 months now. The shipping is always fast, it usually only takes one day from their shipping date to get to me and shipping games back is just as fast. The only problem is that it's very hard getting any of the newer releases. Ghostbusters just became High availability of shipping about a week ago and that game has been out for a few months. I can't imagine how long it would take to get a copy of ODST.
Gamefly can be really good or really crappy. When I first signed on with them they were just shipping from LA so game turn around usually took about 6-8 days. It was ok I live on the other side of the country. I stopped them for awhile and when I went back they opened up a shipping center in Pittsburgh. It was great turn around took about 4 days. About a year ago they switched me to Tampa and now the turn arounds were at 8-12 days. Most of the time they would acknowledge that a disc was returned and it would take 2-3 days for them to ship out a new one.
Their Customer Service really does suck. It's like they could care less that you are writing to complain about something. It always has been lousy. I dropped them like 3 months ago and use Gamerang now. They have been great since day one. Fast shipping, almost always get the top choice in my choice list, and the prices are about the same. Either way I would go with at least 2 discs out at a time. 6-12 days is along time to wait for a new game to come when you have nothing else to play.
I had it...shipping was slow, sometimes it would take 3 days or even a few days to tell me that the game was out and that they were sending a different game on the list... Honestly not worth the $25 a month....Its much better to rent 2 games at Blockbuster for $15 and keep them for a month

jeesh what blockbuster are you talking about...>_> What do you mean? All blockbusters right now have the 2 for $15 deal...and since they have no late fees, you can keep the games for a month and when you return them they only charge you like $1.25 each restocking fee....pretty good deal IMO

Late fees have been reinstated too, it's a dollar a day each day that a game is late.
Ive heard good things mostly. My friend loves it but he is more of a gamer than me. He says it is hard to get newer games and you have to wait awhile, thats why I wont get it
Really wish Netflix would start to rent games. Gamefly needs some serious competition to get their heads out of their butts.
coasterguy65
Yeah your right Gamefly does need some competition. As u stated i wish Netflix would start rent games out also.Netflix are so fast on shipping and the customer service is good. Gamefly does need to do something aboutthey way they ship games cause they are really really slow.
[QUOTE="blazingneo32089"]I just thought of something. If I have a rented game, and I want to buy it, will my next game be sent to me?SgtNumNum
Yes they will ship out your next game as well as your case and manual u bought the game for.
Okay so I really want to do it now but I don't have a credit card and my dad will really not want to pay for it. He would make up an excuse like saying, "u gonna pay the monthly fee even when ur not renting"! So I don't think he'll be willing to pay the monthly fee and lets say one day I want to keep the game and he'll have to pay the price for buying even if its cheaper than buying a new game at a local store. So its two problems I have. My dad and money.

its a cool idea, but i dont like having to wait for the mail to come, so i just got the MVP thing at Hollywood Video. Same as game fly (cept for having delivered and sometimes the games i want are out of stock) but i can get there and back in 30 minutes, not 3 days
eh if you have a blockbuster get a pass there, you can get blurays, and games or dvdsxfactor19990
Its funny but there used to be 2 Blockbusters around where I live and they both closed about a year ago. Its sad really. I would've been renting games and blu-ray movies. I almost was gonna buy a blu-ray player.
I have the 2 game plan and it is only $22 a month. U sually takes 2-3 day shipping but if you can wait its the best deal around for palying alot of games.

The problem with video stores is they have a VERY limeted selection on games. I think Gamefly has over !0,000 titles available.
