Gamefly is alright, sometimes for popular games it would them a while to ship it to me, but the actually shipping was fast. Just give the trial a whirl...

gamefly is totally essential. no issues with service here, never had a scratched or lost disc or anything like that.

i drop a game in the mail, normally the next day gamefly show's it returned. Next game is shown as send normally the next day. I don't make my q too big and always seem to get the next game on it, but they literally have every game available to rent and most you can keep if you want and they sent a mint box and manual (done it several times).

Oh and got Fallout3 and Skate2 week of release, so ya im a fan.

For me it took 3 days from when I put it in the mailbox for them to get it, and 3 days for me to recieve one once they shipped, still cheaper than if you rented games from a game rental place though. I also live about as far away as you can from one of their shipping facilities.

when i was using it about 6 months ago it was great. about 5 days turn around time but that's to be expected with mail service. I got most things i wanted right away and if not they would just send my next pick so no big deal.

Yeah, I drop my games at my post office and they must use fast return because gamefly knows by the next day. Totally is cheaper and better than any other renter.

I wish they shipped to Canada.

I'm using the Canadian version, GameAccess. They have a decent selection, but not enough copies of popular titles, so I'm always waiting too long for the games I really want. And because they're based in Montreal, the turnaround time is a bit slow.

That said, it is still a lot cheaper than renting from a video store and no late fees works for me.

I would recommend a rental account for anyone that plays a lot of games.

I signed up today. My first two picks are CoD: WaW(medium availability) and FEAR2(low availability). I live in VA so I guess PA would be the closest shipping center. I'll post when I receive them which shouldn't be in more than 2-4 days from now!

The service seems pretty reliable. I received my first 2 games 3 days after signing up, could've been faster but not too bad. I decided to use the "keep it" option on one of the games. The next day I received a text saying Star Ocean: The Last Hope is already on the way, not bad considering the game was released just today (2/24).
