is gamefly worth it?

I am trying out gameznflix.com. Rent games and movies online. I have the 3 out plan for $14 I think. 1 for games and 2 for movies.

I love Gamefly. I've been with them for about 3 years now. My only complaint is what's already been mentioned about the shipping times. If I mail a DVD back to Netflix on a Monday, my next one is here on Wednesday. With Gamefly, I think I mailed back a game last Thursday or Friday, they shipped the next one out this past Monday, and I still haven't gotten it. I haven't had many problems with the waiting, though. The only time I've ever gotten a scratched or unplayable disc was YEARS ago when I rented Agent Under Fire for GameCube. Obviously back then, the "Short Wait" problem was even lower because Gamefly was just starting out and barely anyone had it compared to now. I remember being all sad when I saw them start to advertise on TV haha
Anyway, I'm just hoping with all the advertising and stuff that they pick up and open more shipping centers or something. I was also with Netflix before they were big and they used to be the exact same way Gamefly is now and then out of nowhere it was suddenly shipping centers all over the place.

Hey guys, been a while since I posted (used to post as wiihope when I was still wii hunting).

I've been trying out different game rental services. Gamefly impressed me with the best mailing packaging so far, sturdy cardboard sleeves that go over the regular floppy ones.

Service was pretty fast too. I had a long trial due to a special arrangement and I ended up having too many games for me to play at a time.

I currently have a Blockbuster Online account, you get one free coupon a month to use for a game or a movie. The game rental is only good for 5 days (well, 12 if you push their "no late fee" thing). And it isn't mailed to you. But it's pretty good if you live near a Blockbuster and if you also rent movies.

I've also tried Gameznflix. Movie selection sucks. Game selection during the trial period sucks too. They don't tell you up front but during the trial they grey out a lot of games. I'm not sure of the criteria they use but most of the Wii games I wanted to rent I couldn't rent and even some Gamecube ones. I ended up renting the Gamecube version of Rampage, Gamecube version of Tomb Raider and Elebits from them.

The price was cheap though.

I'm going to try out a few more services too what I might do is go with Gameznflix at the lowest rate and then use my Blockbuster one strictly for trial stuff for reviewing purposes. We'll see. As it is I have games that I own that I haven't finished (Twlight Princess being one of them).

i was wondering about this too, but Blockbusters or whatevers service now lets you return movies/games back to the store and let you pick one up there, so its faster
