i'm curious about this too... right now good wii titles aren't comin out too fast but once they do... i may be wanting to jump into this "gamefly experience"... that is if yall have had some luck with it

I did the 10 day trial a month ago. 10 days isn't really enough to fully test the service IMO. Anyways I only able to rent 3 games because most of the games were always on "short wait". When I mailed my game on a monday morning, I would get the next game in my queue by Thursday afternoon. 4 day turn around was just too long for me, and I live in the same state as them. Netflix got my movies with in 2 days. I canceled after my trial because of that and my queue just sat around waiting for games to be sent. And what sucks is when you send back your game, your next queue would say available, but by the time GF receives the game (2 days for me) the game becomes unavailable. I just have Wii games in my Q because that's the only system I have. Its not for me I guess, it might be for you. Go do the trial and find out, doesn't hurt to try.

If you do decide to stay, try to cancel your account and when you're about to confirm it, they'll try to sell you $15 for your first month. You save $6

that was my dad's attitude especially the *whats the catch??* part, but its hard to not be paranoid about these sites especially since hardly anybody uses/ knows about gameznflix.

I did a google search for reviews on them and they seem to be ok...the same or better then the Netflix, Gamefly, BB, etc. They have many centers, four just on the west coast alone, so its good news to see that the might be getting stuff out to you faster....they give a 14 day free trial so maybe I will try them before Gamefly -- they are cheaper even if you are just renting games.

Here are their shipping centers:
Boston, MA
Washington DC
Orlando, FL
Franklin, KY (near Nashville, TN)
Dallas, TX
Sterling, CO (near Denver, CO)
Sacramento, CA
Seattle, WA
Los Angeles, CA
Chicago, IL


I have Netflix and I get most DVD's in one day...one time I returned a DVD at 8AM to my school's post office and Netflix had that same day...how that happened I still wonder.

gamesnflix usually has it the same day and my mail cpmes around 3pm. it varies sometimes 1 to 2 days (mostly) sometimes 3 to 4, no difference than the others

Ok, how about UK companies?
