Wow, that looks like a good deal (I'd do the 3 out at a time plan for $16.99 a month). Where do they ship from? Anyone want to send me a referral?

Right now I use gamefly, and theyve always had new games fast...but that looks way way better due to price and also having movies...even HD ones.

Is it really that hard to get newer games on it?

There are much better options out there

Gamelender and GPlay being the best according to this site. Gamesandflix didn't get good reviews that I've read, but that may have changed

crap, i just posted this in another thread.

Gameznflix sucked because when I had them I never got a game. There was no way to tell them that I wanted two games and three movies out at a time, they had a 5 out at a time plan for $30 at the time I think and I signed up for that. I never received a single game from them. It was all one queue so when they didn't have any of the games in my queue, rather than waiting and sending a game out when it came back in, they sent out all 5 of my rentals in movies.

a rental a blockbuster if 7.99 for 5 days. If you rent more than 3 games in a month you might as well sign up for their gamepass. 21.99, only 1 out at a time but its cheaper than renting 4 games and playing each for 1 week in a given month.

I don't know how many times I've seen people who rent bunch of games and movies and end up paying more than the cost of the game or movie pass. Guess that's how they make their money.

But selection maybe an issue compared to gamefly. My local blockbuster has some Wii title's out but not as much as others. they also have ps3 and psp titles. it seems though the store carries more copies of xbox 360 games though which is great for me.

i sent a couple games back to gamefly a few days before I cancelled, and they're telling me they received one of them, but not the other. Apparently this happens a lot with gamefly.
