Contemplating Gamefly Again...

[sigmel]

Looking through my game list, I am thinking that there are a lot of games on there that I wouldn't mind renting.  One of the problems I had with Gamefly before was the turnaround time.  However, that should be greatly reduced now that they have a new center in the midwest.  The second issue is cost.  I don't have the free time to play games that I

If you go through with it, let me know how the turn-around times are these days. I had a free month of it last spring and the week between games just wasn't working for me.

It appears the Eastern coast (and midwest?) is serviced by Pittsburgh. The week turnaround sounds about right, if you figure about 2 days to get there, one day to process, then 2 days to receive. So I doubt it will get much better...

What's the price difference. If you're like me, you have limited time, and 2 games at a time seems like a bit of a waste. Besides, do you plan on not buying games as well or just supplimenting your game collection.

1 Game = $16 per month
2 Games = $23 per month

Two games seems like a bit, especially since I have quite a lot of 'play-anytime' games (ie Forza, etc) that I doubt I will get bored with anytime soon. However, the cost value is definitely there if I will be playing both fairly frequently. I am leaning towards just the one game, but it almost seems like a rip off at that price. GameznFlix is cheaper for just one game, but I hate their promos and website...

I will still be buying naturally, just probably no longer waiting for a decent price or soliciting from friends.
