GameFly

Anybody use it? Recommended?

[Gazi]

Hell YEAH!

[Reapuh]

I use it.

I would recommend it. Good library of games.

Usually get games within 2 days or so. Depends on how far you are from a shipping area.

They always give me games that are in my top 5 gameQ. Well worth the money instead of having to buy games.

I just read that Netflix will start offering games. I'd go with them over GF when that happens.

[RedMage138]

Yep, if Netflix pulls it off GameFly is about to get f'd in the a

[Gazi]

Yeah, unless the game is low in stock, GF ships them pretty fast (3 days or so). But Netflix rules with speed and you don't have to wait a week for a game to come back and be shipped.

Competition = win for consumers.

I didn't know Netflix was gonna start doing games.

If they do then I'm going to them, they are much faster.

Anyone else get a email from Netflix? Here is a part of it..

It’s hard to write this after over 10 years of mailing DVDs with pride, but we think it is necessary: In a few weeks, we will rename our DVD by mail service to “Qwikster”. We chose the name Qwikster because it refers to quick delivery. We will keep the name “Netflix” for streaming.

Qwikster will be the same website and DVD service that everyone is used to. It is just a new name, and DVD members will go to qwikster.com to access their DVD queues and choose movies. One improvement we will make at launch is to add a video games upgrade option, similar to our upgrade option for Blu-ray, for those who want to rent Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 games. Members have been asking for video games for many years, but now that DVD by mail has its own team, we are finally getting it done. Other improvements will follow. A negative of the renaming and separation is that the Qwikster.com and Netflix.com websites will not be integrated.

They also posted it in their blog.

I just read that Netflix will start offering games. I'd go with them over GF when that happens.

If they do that, it will save their company. They have more shipping centers than GF.

That's what really pissed me off about GF when I lived in NC. They would take 4-5 days to get that game to me. They also pulled this a lot,

-Put new game that's going to come out in a month in my Game Q-

-Game comes out. They send me another game instead of the first game I had on my Q for over a month-

I got tired of the bull, I sent them a letter after the 12th time this happened. I was a loyal customer, got a lot of games from them too. But enough was enough. They have what? 5-6 shipping centers? How can someone in Greensboro get their game quicker than me that lived in Cornelius? Bunch of bull. I dropped them and went to my local blockbuster. They were meh.

If netflix does offer games I'll have to think about getting their service back.

Blockbuster also does games with no extra price if you got the movie by mail service.

I use gamefly and they have been awesome.. I always get the new releases no matter what.. being a member for 3 years kinda helps I guess.

It doesn't. I was a member for 3 years and I had plenty of problems with them. You must live near a facility of theirs.

[TarPanther9180]

I have it and like it. Just put games in top of your Q as soon as they are on this list. You will always get it when it comes out (assuming you have sent all your games in).

At first it was rather bad.. never got anything new at all and would take weeks to even get a game.. but after around a year they greatly improved for me and always send me what I want.. I live in NC and their nearest warehouse is in pittsburgh.
