    If Blockbuster did this I'd be on it in a heartbeat.

    Blockbuster Online for movies has been phenomenal for me. I had one hiccup and it was a shipping address issue. I changed my shipping address and I can only assume that it didn't update in their system before shipping a movie to me. But, I told them and they are sending me another movie.

    With Blockbuster Online I send a movie on Monday, they tell me it was shipped on Tuesday. They send me another movie on Tuesday. I get it on Thursday. Very, very good turnaround.

    Now, just waiting for them to do this with video games.

      I don't mind the drive to Blockbuster because I have 4 of them withing 5 miles of my house. $8 Xbox 360 game rentals with no late fees = saving me money.

        How does the blockbuster no late fee on 360 games work? Dont they after a while bill you? How long can you keep it without a late fee?

          They bill you after 30 days, but you can bring it back and they take it off your card. That all depends on who's there. Blockbuster (where I'm at) is very inconsistent with their regulations.

          I'm using gameznflicks.com right now. They're cheaper than gamefly and so far faster. Can't complain.
          Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.

            I was always interested in Gamefly, but have held off so far... I might make the jump soon.

              I'm interested in this gameznflicks.com service. As mentioned above, I've been really dissatisfied with Gamefly. However, upon going to the gameznflicks website, I'm pretty torn. They seem to have a good selection of games and a decent selection of movies, but....no TV shows on DVD??? I don't know why in the world they would do this. If they're already offering movies on DVD, I don't see how there could be any more significant overhead involved in adding TV shows on DVD to their offerings.

              And that's primarily what I'd want the service for (aside from 360 games). So I dunno. Does anyone else use gameznflicks.com? If their service is really that much better than Gamefly, then I might do it anyway, but I'd like to hear if anyone else has experience with them.

                I used Gamefly for about 1 1/2 years and the service was good for the money but again Im on the West Coast and the hub was in California so I got my games within 2 days from them, although the fast return didnt work nearly 90% of the time. I would still reccommend the site to anyone wanting to try prior to buying, for that reason alone it is worth it.
