Best Netflix-Like Videogame Rental Service?

Duncan the Wuss asks: "So, almost everyone I know loves the DVD-rental-by-mail service Netflix. But what about the videogame rental market? I normally beat a game in about a week, and that can get expensive. I've checked out sites like GameFly and NumbThumb, and they seem reasonable. Geek.com even had a post about a site called TriggerFingers, but I can't seem to get anything to work on it. What I really need to know is, what's a high-quality site of this type that's worth renting from? Netflix is reputable and responds to customer complaints in a timely manner, but are there any video game rental sites with the same level of service? I mean, I don't want to give out my credit card numbers to just anyone."

PA recommends it

I've never tried those services but I do know that PennyArcade [penny-arcade.com] recommends it (scroll a little down to read Gabe's post about it). Considering how many games they play and how they like to complain about shitty service it must be a testament to Gamefly's reliability that they haven't bashed it yet.

GameFly

I did the free trial for GameFly, and then a month of service... but I gave up. They only have a distribution center in California, and since I'm on the east coast, it took 3+ days for the games to make their way to me, and then back to GF. For me, it's simply cheaper to go to my local video store and rent games, and I'd get more games for the same price.

If they get a distribution center on the east coast, or at least within 2 days of me like Netflix is, then I'd reactivate my account immediately. In fact, I asked them to email me when/if they ever get that setup.

If you're nearer their distribution center than I am, try it out. It's just like Netflix, and my experience was just as good.

GameFly!

I've been using GameFly for a few months now, and I love it! I've never had a problem getting a game, and they let you keep the game for a decent price if you like it. I tend to "buy" games through here instead of buying them at stores. If you queue up a game right when it comes out, you are obviously going to get a new copy of the game. If you like the game, keep it at the reduced price, and you are all set! If you don't, you just saved yourself the price of the game!

I highly recommend GameFly!
