    For the people saying its way too hard to get the game on top of your list, just delete everything off your gameQ except for that game. If your doing that at the most you'll wait 5 days even if the game is on low availability. And how is the value off. An average game costs about 60 dollars, gamefly is 15 dollars a month. That means it takes 4 months of Gamefly before you'd spend as much as you would on one game. In that time I can easily get through at least 6 games and if I really like the game I keep it for a discounted price since its used and then an additional 10%off for being a year long member. Not to mention the 5 bucks they give you to spend every 3 months.

    How long does it take you guys to get your games? I usually get mine within 4-5 days of sending the disc back. I live in NY.

    I agree with dartsy, I had gamefly for over a year and it was just to hard to get the top games on my list. They are charging WAY to much money for this service seeing as how they can't keep a heavy supply of the top games out there. I did however get some really good deals on some of their used games and psp movies, but I would still never join again.

    I'm glad to see Yakuza 3 got in the top ten rentals for the PS3, maybe if it sells well Sega will bring Y4 to the US uncut.

    Does Nintendo see nothing wrong with the fact that their most popular games are a remake, a movie based title, sucky titles that are based off of the olympics, a game that hasn't come out yet and a good racing game, and before that a cheap knockoff?

    Still not sure why it is relevant to post the GameFly "rental" charts every so often. It's pretty much predictable every time with the new releases being 1 - 10. We already know demand is going to be high on rentals when a game comes out. How about you show us the sales #'s every month instead so we can see realistically how a game is doing.

    Just received Bio 2..... I just gamefly the ones I'm on the fence about, obviously. The rest I just reserve waaaaaay ahead of time, like GOW III, so all I have to do is pick them up. Funny thing is, I almost forgot I had Battlefield BC 2 reserved :D

    I used to have Gamefly. I was spending WAY to much money on it (even for the 1 game plan). It is WAY WAY WAY to hard to get ahold of a good game. It is just easier to go buy the game rather than use Gamefly.
