[update] (I'm wearing a dunce cap) I overlooked the cost of games compared to movies in my analysis. The higher cost for Gamefly's service is justified. The games lower on my list were padding. I've gutted it to wait a bit longer to get better games. I rescind my conclusion for the trial of this method. Gratzi vatos. [end update]


I wanted to try-out Gamefly and, per my request, got 3 months w/it por navidad. I'm grateful for that. I think of myself as a cynic but I'm still too optimistic b/c this service has surprised me w/how far it falls beneath my expectations.


Expectations

Netflix for games. Tempered by the understanding folks would keep a game longer than a movie.


Problems

1)Price.
..................Monthly Payment|Products Out
Netflix..................$9..........................1
...........................$14........................2
Gamefly...............$16........................1
...........................$23........................2
an' I quit Netflix back when you got 3 for 'bout $20 monthly. I realized I could see movies online for less but a computer can't play every game.

2)Availability.
I expected this problem but not to the degree it has expressed. The game I'm sent is usually more than 1/2 way down my list and past multiple "high" availability games. W/Netflix I remember high was practically a guarantee of selection while gamefly's 75%+ explanation is proven a lie.


Conclusion

Don't get Gamefly. Just buy games, rent 'em, borrow, or get 'em used.
