Those who've used Gamefly, would you recommend it?

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

I love how every person on their commercials look like they have never played a video game in their lives lol. Especially the guy from the last commercial with the jetpack..
I am buying all Saturn games, PM me with your offerings and I will let you know if I need the game or not! (Everything must be CIB)

Currently trying to knock off all the sports games, would like to get them <$5 each! Of course if you would like to donate them I will gladly pay the shipping! :)

I actually cancelled my Gamefly membership this year, as I felt like I could never get my hands on new releases. I felt like I wasn't getting my money's worth when I could never play what I wanted to play. Their stock doesn't seem able to match up to the number of subcribers they have. So I've now I've just gone back to buying games again

Google where the closest red boxes are in your area. They're carrying games now although I haven't personally used them.

it's like 2 or 3 bucks for one night. not a super good deal but if you plan on just blasting through a campaign or something it might be a good alternative. i've rented games for my son and my nephew on them before when they have spent the night but other than that i don't really use the service. i have enough entertainment at my disposal right now :)

When they were new they were okay, but after that they sucked. Usually took 2-3 weeks to get a game and it never followed my queue at all. Also, very expensive.

Exactly. I have subscribed with them on and off for a total of 2 months and only got one new release on hand (Tomb Raider). They advertise in their ads like everyone that wants a new release gets one. Not to mention that it's not super cheap either.
