First impressions of GameFly

Getting tired of buying games only to sell them on eBay a few weeks later, I decided to give GameFly a chance. NetFlix is great, and GameFly is basically the same premise. You add games to a queue, they send them to you in the mail, you keep them for as long as you want, and you pay a monthly fee.

So far, I've received and returned two games from them, Geist, and Stubbs the Zombie. My first impressions are mostly positive. The games arrived in good shape, and well protected, and they sent out the next game as soon as it was scanned by the USPS.

They seem to have lots of rare games available for rental such as Gitaroo Man and Rez. The only complaint thus far is shipping seems to take forever. First Class mail shipping from Southern California to Western Washington took 3-4 days for the first two titles. Are they delivering them via horse and buggy?

That aside, so far, so good. I'm hoping the long shipping times were due to the recent rash of postal holidays, and things will speed up soon, because that's my only real complaint thus far.
