as some of you know blockbuster will be closing over 900 of their stores. so i went to my local blockbuster but they had brought me bad news they will be one of many closing and the nearest one is pretty far away. so should i go to online rental like gamefly or do you have another choice that i can make

A bunch of the people on my friends list have gamefly and love it..

However one of them says he has a 3 game plan but refuses to play any other game until he gets the platinum in resistance 2.. so i think that is a waste..

It depends on your money situation.. i use to have netflix and i think gamefly is like that only with games.. so its a good service.. you could play more games for your buck, unless all your getting are rpgs and online games that you are basically going to keep for a very long time.. that seems to me like a waste of a spot, you might as well buy it..

all in all i say go for it, blockbuster is a ripoff anyways..

Gamefly is pretty sweet, and a good deal. Much cheaper and more convenient than any local rental plans.

Can you get games through Blockbuster's online service? I thought you could, but I may be wrong.

GameFly is fast..they wont even wait for your returning games to arrive there..your mailman will scan the code and send it to gamefly to notify them that you are ready for your next game, but it depends on your mailman..because mine kinda got lazy and stopped scanning the codes!!

I guess Gamefly's the only way. Considering Blockbuster has bumped rentals up to $9-10 a pop, getting 2 games at a time for $22/month is a pretty solid deal. If you manage to run through 3 games a month on the plan, you're already saving money, and you can cancel at any time when you anticipate not having time for gaming (that's what I do, usually -- get a month of Gamefly when I have some free time, then drop out).

Quite a few of my friends use gamefly. And they're pretty happy with it. So its probably your next best choice other than blockbuster
