Video game Rental help?

Question

I want to have a way to rent games for extended periods of time. I was wondering what would be a better value, for a long time (over a month) is it better value to do an online video game thing such as gamefly.com or rent from a store such as blockbuster and just pay the late fees?

Blockbuster does have "Game Pass" available. 
Which would allow you to rent a video game from your local Blockbuster and keep it for a unlimited amount of time, with no late fees, just as long as you pay your monthly subscription.
Plans start at $21.99 a month + applicable tax for the 1 game out at a time game pass.

You can compare this to the major online video game rental sites.

Gameznflix.com
1 Game/Movie Plan - One game out at a time $8.99/month + applicable tax ( Lets you choose from games and movie rentals. )

Gottaplay.com
1 Game Plan - One game out at a time $12.95/month + applicable tax

Rentzero.com
1 Game Plan - One game out at a time $13.95/month + applicable tax  ( Only has one shipping center which is located in Texas.) 

Gamefly.com
1 Game Plan - One game out at a time $15.95/month + applicable tax ( I'd consider gamefly the best of the online video game rental services that I've listed. )

Gamerang.com
1 Game Plan - One game out at a time $17.95/month + applicable tax

From my experience renting online you may have a 3-5 business day turn around time as you send in your old game and your new game rental arrives. 
Blockbuster currently doesn't offer game rentals through the mail. So the only process to exchange your old game for something new would be to make a trip to your local blockbuster.
