Good options for renting?

How good is Gamefly for renting games and are there any other better options out there?

The biggest problem with Gamefly IMO is that they only have one(that's right, ONE) distribution center. That one being in California. So if you live on the east coast like me(Virginia) it takes forever to get games.

Wow, that sucks. I just signed up for this on Friday figuring that it would save me from buying a game I don't really need to buy. It says games will get delivered in 2-4 days and I've got 2 coming.

There's a good chance when MLB the Show drops for PS3, I won't be needing this anymore... so it's about a month trial if I look at it that way. Just got to get my college hoops craving satisfied and try out the Splinter Cell's of the world!

I live in Maine and have been with GameznFlix for two months. Sometimes I'm amazed at how quick I get games/movies, sometimes as fast as 2 days. Other times it takes a week plus just to return my items. Its a total crap shoot but its my only method of playing or watching new releases so I suck it up and deal.

I use the Blockbuster gamepass for $19.99. It is only one game at a time, but I can go to the store to pick it up and they usually have all new titles the same week as the store.

If they did shipping and in store pickup I would jump on that. Thing is they don't and their selection around here isn't great. Hopefully they combine pick up and online soon.

As far as Game Fly, they ship same day or next business day and it usually takes 3-4 days to get here. (Illinois)

I've been using gamefly for a few months and have been really happy with their service. I like that they have the keep it or buy it option if you like the game enough to. The price is always cheaper than retail and they send you the box and manual afterwards. I just received the motorstorm case and manual yesterday in the mail after purchasing it and they were in mint condition. It was in such good condition that it smelled like a new car, lol.

Re: Good options for renting?

I used GameznFlix for a good year, and at first they really impressed me. But recently (last 2 months), they've been horrible. After going a month without getting any Wii games, or any of the 360 new releases added to the available titles. I canceled my membership. Games that came out in Febuary aren't even up on the site yet. Thir prices were great, I had the 3 out plan, for $12.25 thanks to a discount code. But even at that price, I couldn't stand the poor service, and the terrible website.
