Gamefly sucks...their price for one disk at a time is higher than blockbuster with 2 disks at a time...and blockbuster will send you DVDs or blurays as well as games.

Even with Netflix's latest f*ck ups, gamefly will have a limited future going head to head with them.

I use to use Gamefly and the shipping is really fast but everytime I want to rent their games, it's scratched up and it will not read. I had it for 5 months and all but 1 game has no disc error.

you do know they rent ds games as well right? i rent ds games those are alright it's just the ps2 games that's mess up ... in fact, i think ill just reactivate my account again.
i did two out at a time rental. ds and ps2 games

Finally, GameFly is ready to launch their own digital distribution platform, which will give users a chance to play "unlimited PC games."
Finally, a service that can be intercepted/decrypted and game files stored forever in a location of my choosing, cant wait. > : ]

blockbuster does not offer games until several months after release. not to mention how slow they are.

Maybe. But if you try to get a game from Gamefly that's just been released you won't get it. I was with them for over a year, some upcoming games I would have in my queue as soon as they were available on the site and I NEVER got them until well over a month or two after release. They just always hopped to the older games lower on my list. At least BB is straight up about it and waits for the supply to meet the demand.
