Are your lives really centered around video games.

I love gamefly. I've had nothing but a positive experience. I'm in New York and the longest I wait between games is 3 days. I've been with them for over a year and have only had one game show up that was scratched. Everything else has been in mint condition which stands to reason if they're selling them. Who's going to want to buy a crappy old beat up game? I recently upgraded to the 3 at a time plan and have a steady rotation of good games to play on my two formats (Wii and PSP). They're the only ones renting games (and movies if you have a PSP) for handhelds. The guy who mentions the "fast return" shipping is right. Sometimes it's more about whether your post office is on top of their game and scanning the mail in than it is gamefly being slow. I know people who merely changed up where they mailed their games back from and corrected any shipping delays they might have had previously. You ought to look into your local post offices capabilities. That might be more than half the problem. Anyway, regardless, they just opened a third distribution center in Tampa, FL so game availability and shipping speeds are only going to get better. They're the only rental service worth using. I can speak from experience. The competition doesn't hold a candle. Oh, and as far as the "keep it" feature goes, you can score some killer deals. Yeah, not everything is available right off the bat but if you show a little patience you can almost always end up buying what you want. Some games are high demand and you're going to have to wait. Still beats shelling out tons of cash on them. This is so weird. I love gamefly. I’ve had nothing but a positive experience. I’m in New York and the longest I wait between games is 3 days.

Sometimes, it does take me over a week to receive a game (including return time), but I don't really care about that, because I have the 2 game plan. The 2 game plan is a much better value, anyway. 6 dollars, or so, a month more, and you almost always have a game at your house. I don't know if I could deal with the one game plan. You guys also have to understand, that most of the long shipping times, is the USPS, not Gamefly. Gamefly ships a game to you, before they even receive the game you're sending back, due to "Fast Return". They can't do much else, in terms of shipping times. On a final note, they definitely have a far better selection of games, for any console, than any other rental place.
