Thinking about trying them out. At $15 bucks a month for one at a time, it seems pretty decent. I understand you can keep the game as long as you like. If you play at least two games a month it sounds like it would be worth it. Any of you guys use this service?
I've had an account for the last three years and I enjoy it a lot. You accrue points which can be used towards purchasing games which is a nice little bonus.
I loved Gamefly, had it for a few years. One of the nice perks is buying the used games very cheap
Just joined them. My first three choices were Call of Duty Black Ops, Spiderman Shattered Dimensions and Transformers War for Cybertron.
Jey, you said you HAD it for a few years, did you quit the service? If you did, why?

I had to quit the service because of finances. It had nothing to do with Gamefly. The only thing I recommend is if you have it, use it. I stopped playing games for a while and had games sitting collecting dust.
Also check online for discount codes. I believe you may find a few at Revision 3 website.
Well, I am not very impressed with GameFly. I received the first game they sent me, finished it and returned it. It took four days for them to get it. So far it's been 7 days and I have not received the next game on my list. I also thought that they would send games to me in the order that I place them in my GameQ but that is apparently not the case. They sent me a game (not received yet of course) that was number 4 on my list before the 2nd and 3rd selections. I changed my plan from one game out to two. Figured it would work out better that way. Now I am thinking about canceling the service.
Man, sorry that it's not working out for you. Dis you at least get a discount?

Netflix has kind of spoiled us - they have such a huge library and distribution network that they can (almost) always get you your next movie and have a two day turn around. For smaller companies with three distribution hubs and smaller stock levels, this level of service is really hard to duplicate.
I agree with that. Netflix has a distribution center in every major city, a fast turnaround time, and a huge stock. Seven days actually is't so bad if you don't have all those things.
I only play PC games, though, so this service is not something I would ever use.
Imagine if Netflix got into the game rental business?

Honestly, I don't know why they haven't. Most of the late brick and mortar movie rental places did. It seems a logical extension to the video market.
