Here's one of the main issues I'm having with you right now. I didn't say anything negative about renting games in this thread. I was pointing out that I spontaneously want to play a game, then I want to play it at that point instead of waiting for a game to come in the mail. On the rare days I have time to game now, I end up rotating through various games. Having an overnight service doesn't work for me. If I really wanted to, I would go to Blockbuster to rent the game with no issue at all. The issue isn't that it's a rental that gets on my nerves at all. I do prefer to own the games because sometimes my friends and I will let each other borrow games and I like to collect games to be honest too. Does that clarify anything to you?

I have Gamefly and I can 100% guarantee you that it IS NOT an overnight service. Games take anywhere from 3-4 days to arrive based on where you live and the availability of the title. I live in NY and the closest warehouse is in Pennsylvania, so if I send out a game on Monday I will probably get my next game on Friday or Saturday.

Trinity Universe, which I am playing now required me to clear out my entire queue and wait ~1 1/2 weeks to get due to low availability. If I didn't clear out my queue the game would never show up due to the other games getting priority based on availability.

So sometimes the service works against you, but I still like it.

So while it has many perks, especially clearance sales, it definitely has many flaws.

I liked it more when they would send out your next game the moment the postal service scanned it in at their facilities, but sadly that lasted only a very very short while before they got rid of it.
