GameFly's Rental Service
8/30/2009
Finally! An inexpensive way to satiate my game addiction! A friend has extolled the virtues of GameFly for quite some time, and the commercials have consistently entertained the dozens of viewers of the G4 network, so I finally took the plunge. I must say, I am pleasantly surprised. The site is intuitive and the selection is good; the prices are fair (and you can even trade in old games); and shipping to and fro is a simple and painless affair.
The only problem I really have is the god damn postal service. The "one game at a time" deal is basically a scam, so if you sign up go for the two, because when you "return" a game, expect at least a two week lag period until you receive your next one. Obviously there is little to be done to rectify this, but it still sours the deal a little bit the first time you wait...and wait...and wait for that confirmation email.
