How good a service is gamefly

It takes around 6 to 7 days to get a game in the mail after sending one back, which can be frustrating. Of course, this varies depending on where you live. I live right between two Gamefly warehouses, so it takes the longest for me. There are some issues with the GameQ that can be frustrating, but those come if you have a sibling who shares the service. The issue I mean is that my brother had The World Ends With You out, and I sent back a game (can't remember for the life of me what it was) and loaded the gameQ with Wii and 360 games. Next game we get, Final Fantasy III. I was pissed.

If you don't share it with anyone, I'm sure it would be much better. I'd recommend it, at least to try and see what you think.

Thanks for the helpful info Arkthemaniac I really appreciate it.

I've been using gamefly for a while now and am pretty happy with it. Its good because you can keep games as long as you like with out the pressure of late fees. I have about a 4 day turnaround on delevry.  Don't do it if you want to play games as soon as they come out, its rare to get anything new until it has been out for at least a month or longer.

It's a fantastic service. Get it.

Depends where you live but i have about a 3-4 day turnaround from when i put the old game in the mailbox.  I really like Gamefly and feel i will rent more games and buy less saving me a ton of money in the long run.

Turn around times for games take a while, still there aren't any other services like it and I use it.

I think if you use it just for singleplayer-only games, you'd save tons.

I have a two-game subscription. I use one slot for my XBox Live game (which right now is Bad Company), and another for the games I like to play once (right now it's GTA4). Costs me roughly 23$/month, which is the same as buying a new game every three months. Double unlimited rentals vs. your own game every three months? I choose GameFly. Delivery times for me are about 6 days (three days for the game to reach them, three for my new game to reach me).

Thanks for all the help guy's I think I'm definately going to purchase a subscription to gamefly in the near future.

it saves so much money because you can rent a ton games for not much at all. Also when you buy games you get big discounts on it

The time it takes for games to get to you depends how close you live to one of their warehouses. I live 15 minutes away so it takes 1 day for them to get my game, send a new one out, and arrive at my house. But when I move to my place for college, I'd be about an hour away, then it takes 2-3 days. It's saved me a ton of money, and if you like the game you can keep it for a pretty nice discount.

I always wondered what the deal with this was. Thanks for the info

It's because they use standard USPS to ship games, so it takes longer if it has to go through multiple post offices.

If you live pretty close to a warehouse (I live 6 hours away from one), it takes 2 days to get one, and about like 2-3 days for them to get it back, which kind of stinks, since the other game service I used prior (which is alot worse), only took like 1-2 days to process the game coming back. Games came from MD, though (about the same distance).
