Looking for selection, price, terms and customer service (turn-around time, wait times for backlist, etc.) Thanks.

I read that Redbox is going to start offering games. I think that they're starting to roll it out soon. $2 a day for the rental, so I guess it depends upon how long you tend to keep the game.

I also use Gamefly and it's pretty good but their turn around isn't very hot. I drop a disc in the mail on Monday and USUALLY get it back on Friday. I live in Portland so it shouldn't take THAT long.

Wow, it usually takes only like 3 days for me to get a game back when I return one.

I also use Gamefly. I have the same issues with it taking quite while to get a game. After I ship one back it takes about 7-8 days to get a new disc. Other than the long wait I have had no issues with it.

Did GF lose the post office notification feature recently? When I returned the game to our post office, by end of day GF was notified and they were already sending the next title on my queue.

I'm about to start subscribing to one of these. For however long it manages to hang around, I think Blockbuster has the best overall service.

I live pretty far from the Gamefly distribution centers, and they're known for long turnaround times. BB allows for in-store returns (speeding up mail deliveries) and the in-store exchanges allow you to essentially have two games for the price of the one-disc service plan.

It probably won't be around too much longer, but it seems like the best option for now.

MY BB doesn't participate in that so it's out.

I had so many issues with Gamefly, I can never trust them (or them me).

Sent a game back to Gamefly on Tuesday...got the new game this morning. Gamefly is always really quick for me.
