<p>After finally breaking my addiction to a popular online game, I've
decided to try this service out and play some great games that I have
missed on the PS2 and PSP.</p><p><br />
So far I've got God of War for the PS2 and XMEN for the PSP on my list.
I've been playing GTA on the PSP and I'm burning out on it, it will be
nice to get some new PSP titles. After these titles Ive got Resident
Evil 4 and Shadow of the Colussus coming.<br />
</p><p> </p><p>Hopefully this service is as cool as it sounds <img border="0" src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/images/smile.gif" />.
The one thing about me is I usually dont finish a game in the first few
weeks, but rather I stop and come back months later. With this service,
I may have to work harder at being a l337 pwn3r. </p><p> </p>

<p><br />I did it for almost a year now.&nbsp; Selection of games is pretty great, but a lot of the newer ones run out the first week or two, then you gotta wait a few more weeks for everyone to return them.&nbsp; Unless you strategery your list of future rentals and plan out when you return your games.&nbsp; </p><p>It's a CA based company and for many months the delivery service to East Coast Folks was pathetically slow (usually a full week from sending a game/getting new one), but recently they've added this feature so that once your local post office scans the game being returned, they'll auto-send the new one.&nbsp; This cuts a couple days off delivery time, but I imagine shipping time gets better the further west you go.</p><p>However, I'm cancelling the service at the end of this months pay period.&nbsp; I'm pissed they raised the price of the 1-game plan by a dollar to 15/month.&nbsp; I'm too impulsive with games I want to play, and still found myself going to Hollywood Video to rent things I'd read about rather than returning something I was in the middle of and waiting almost a week. Having games for unrestricted time is nice in some cases, like with RPGs, but many times I found myself getting bored with the rentals within the week and regretting wasting the rental.&nbsp; Only once they lost a game that was sent to me in the mail, but it ended up being over 2 weeks before I finally got a copy to my house.</p><p>So after a year, some great games, some shitty ones, and about $170 later, it's a decent service but I'll stick to the video store.<br /></p>

I used the free two week trial last year. Good service, but I tend to play only a few games a year, so it wasn't for me.<br />

<p>Damn, I'd probably say that God Of War is the best PS2 game Ive
played in a long long time but the Gamefly disc I got was scratched and
would lock up about 4 hours into the game. <img border="0" src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/furious.gif" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So far the long shipping time and a bad disc with my first rental is putting gamefly on thin ice.&nbsp;</p>
