Netflix was that way when it started, sometimes you had to wait awhile for new releases.

I had Netflix back when it first started and never had a problem getting the titles I wanted. We only dropped it because we just don't have enough time to watch enough movies to make the monthly fee worth it. It almost became work just to make sure we watched the 3 movies per month we had to in order to break even.

I spent more time waiting for games than I did playing them, even with two games out. The turn around time was always at least a week.

Canceled it after a couple of months.

It was 3-5 days for us. As long as you didn't have a low availability item in your 1 slot there was always a game. Thats what I didn't like about them though. Too many low availability games. Way too many.

I think the service should evolve and get better, it is still pretty young.

It's not like Netflix though where you have to watch a certain amount of movies to break even - I figure I can play the same game for several months and still be ahead with not having to buy the game.

Completely agreed on that point. If you get a good game you can hold it forever if you want. Generally, if you keep it more than 4 months you should have just purchased it though.

Well, I got Dead Space from gamefly today...it took 3 shipping days.

I didn't understand why shipped out of PA when they have a distribution center in TX. I can't see how that would get to Kansas City faster. I was lucky to get it in a week.
