OT: Gamefly

topic posted Wed, March 19, 2008 - 11:55 AM by  The Mike Rob...
So this is slightly off topic, and I didn't want to hijack the other thread. Anyone else use gamefly? I've been using them for almost 2(?) years now and I'm still really happy with them.

To answer some questions, no, I usually don't have to wait weeks on new releases. And the ship time is usually 2-3days. (I Live in Washington). When I lived in California it was awesome, cause it was like 1 day turn around. But I'm usually pretty happy with Gamefly. It's also a great way for me to try my Wii games that I might not consider buying.

    Right on, thanks for the information, I'll probably check them out, but only after I'm done with No More Heroes and SSB!

    I only have one grip about Gamefly -- they have multiple distribution centers around the country, and the one closest to you (wherever you are) becomes your "home" center.

    However, the availability ratings for the games is not based on what your distribution center has. It seems to be based on the original distro center on the east coast. So even though a game at the top of your list may show as being "available", it might not be the game that gets shipped to you, if it isn't available at YOUR distro center. In fact, I've had cases where none of my top 3 games (all "available") were shipped, but instead a game much lower down was sent to me.

    But other than that, I love the service.
