gamefly or blockbuster?

[urzishra14]

should I get a gamefly account? (currently I'm playing mostly 360 games) or should I go to blockbuster and get one of those "pass" things?

I would say if you have a blockbuster close to your house, go for it, because my personal experience with gamefly is that it takes forever to get newer games on your list, and the shipping is pretty slow.

Gamefly's 2 out at a time plan is probably around the same pricepoint as that blockbuster plan.

So you need to decide.

blockbuster
- instant gratification -- take game in, walk out with new one
- limited selection (at least my locations)
- new releases not available until friday (and that's IF they decide to carry the title you want)
- requires leaving house
- 1 out at a time

gamefly
- depending on where you live can take about a week to turn around
- better selection, but you might have to wait for new releases
- doesn't require leaving house (although i recommend it from time to time!)
- 2 out at a time
- monetary bonuses for staying a member after a certain amount of time
- excellent used game prices for members
- keep it option is very nice

yeah I'd have to say it depends on your local blockbusters selection, my local one isn't great so I did gamefly for a while,

also depends on where you live, if your close to a gamefly warehouse or not can increase the delivery time a few days

In my experience Gamefly is great, the games take 2 games to get here and whenever i send one back, if the post office scans it thys send the next game in ur Q right away. They usually have a great selection and availability although soetimes games take some time to be available

i think i'm going to go to gamefly mostly because of the two out at a time (i wanted to get a sports game this way so i didn't have to purchase them every year because they depreciate in value so fast..) thanks everyone..
