Which costs less money? That's what I'd go for.

Depends if you have more then one system in my opinion, I have a wii and x360 so I can get games for both and I rent quite a few games so I think its worth it, if you rent a lot of games and have multiple systems I say its worth getting, its only like 16$ a month for 1 game out, thats like 2 maybe 3 rentals at hollywood, maybe you should use your coupons first then sign up for gamefly.

Well GameFly would have a bigger selection of games on hand, but Hollywood Video would have the cheaper deal. And GameFly would have no due dates or late fees where as Hollywood Video does. This isn't easy, which is why I started this post in the first place.

Well if you figure $16 a month, for only 1 game then thats a joke. It takes about 7 days for each game (about 3-4 days to get to or from your house to the center). Even the two out at a time would be only like 4 games a month for $22.95. But with my coupons I could get about 4 games for only $16.

Ya I am just trying the 10 day trial on Gamefly right now to see what the real shipping times are. I thought Gamefly would be a better deal because Hollywood video is 8$ for 5 days and some games you cant beat within 5 days and w/ gamefly you can keep them till u beat them and I also herd about the new scanning system they have at some us postal services which makes home to gamefly faster. So I think Gamefly would be better, but I have yet to find out.

Yeah I am trying them too which is what I am deciding. Whether to continue, or cancel, but I just canceled. I decided that is was the better deal to just rent from Hollywood Video. It just is for me anyway.
