    Hey guys- I dont know how many of you get your console games through the mail, but id appreciate any help in deciding which service to choose if you do. Right now, I have Gamefly, and it totally sucks. It takes them 2 weeks to get my game and 2 weeks for them to send it. That is total bs. Well now Im looking to get rid of gamefly and go with a better service. The reason i hear gamefly takes so long to ship is because they have only one center, in california. However, I live in New York. So what im looking for is a service with obviously more than one shipping center and a good selection. Im looking at gamerang. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    So, besides the long wait for games, is GameFly a pretty good service? I wanted to try GameFly, and I live in California...

    actually, people in california actually tell me it takes a long time for shipping as well. Gamerang has shipping centers in New Jersey, California and some central state. Therefore, I would expect gamerangs games to get to me a lot faster, as they can handle more demand on games. I also hear bad things from gamefly that if u try to cancel, theyll charge you for any games you have out. Thats why i just took all the games off of my que. When they finally get the game I sent back 2 weeks ago, ill cancel and they cant charge me for anything..

    I like http://www.gameznflix.com/, i signed up with them, and for 3 months i didnt get charged a dime. The third month, i figured out how to get games for free, so i canceled, but i did keep the games i rented and they didnt say anything.

    Signed up for the free trial with Gamefly on the 17th. They shipped my first two games on the 18th, and I got both of them today (the 19th). So far Gamefly is pretty cool, so far so good.
