Netflix for games...except more expensive and slower

Gamer, sports gamer, Glad I'm Not In School Anymore, a bargain hunter, value conscious, into finding great deals online

Pros

excellent selection of games, no due dates, carries most major systems

Cons

two distribution centers=slow, new games hard to get, must allow a couple days for mail

~$23 a month for 2-games out at a time, no late fees, no shipping costs.

A good value for a gamer who likes to rent more than buy. Very large selection of last-gen and current gen games. Difficult to popular new releases.

I live in the bay area and it takes about 4-5 business days round trip to get another game. HOWEVER some post offices have a "Fast Pass" system where when they scan the game, Gamefly is notified and they send out the next game in your queue. The turnaround time is much faster with this service. (3-4 business days.)

All in all try it out, they usually offer free 10 or 15 day trials. You pay month to month and can cancel anytime.
