I bought okami from there a while ago. The disc was in great shape, and the manual and case were included. It pretty much just looked like a new game that was just take out of the shrink wrap.

Takes 4 business days for me from the time I put the old game in the mail to the time I get the new one (2 days there, 2 days back). I'm in Atlanta, which uses the Tampa shipping center.

If you purchase a game you are currently renting, Gamefly mails you the case and the manual for free. If you purchase a used game that you are not currently renting you get the the case, the manual, and the game.

wow thats cool.i did gamefly for 2 months. it was rather slow. would take me a week to get a game, if i sent it out on friday or sat.would get it like thursday/friday of the next week

I had that problem too, except it would take more than a week to for the game to get there. This is because Gamefly only has one shipping center in California. I live in New Jersey. Now I use Gamerang, which has four shipping centers - and one of them is 20 minutes away from my house :D.

I just got into Gamerang though, so I can't tell you much about them yet. There website is a little different, I can't tell yet whether its good or bad, but it doesn't seem as intuitive as Gamefly. The service is also $2 more expensive, but probably worth it for shipping times. They also seemed to have every single game that I had on my list at Gamefly. And, if you're into it, they also have PSOne games for rent.

wait blockbuster has an online service that offers games?

Sorry, I should have been clearer about that. I meant I get a better turn around time with the movie service for Blockbuster Online.

They don't have a game service. The best Blockbuster has for games is if you subscribe to Blockbuster Online then you can exchange the movies you get in the mail in-store for games for $5 (instead of $8).

Netflix is great as well, for movies. I am very satisfied with the service.

Actually there is one disappointment. I wish the Queue list could carry more than 500 titles at once.
