    I use gamefly only because they have a 'keep it' feature, which lets you keep the game if you really like for much less than shelf price.

    how long it takes depends where you live in the us and how close you are to a mailing center. it shouldn't take more than 2-3 days though. I live in Boston, the closest distribution center is in Pennsylvania and it takes 2 days to get to my house once it's shipped. They also have a feature which will ship your next game once they have received notification that you have the shipped back the game would have, meaning they will ship the next game in your queue when they know that you've sent back your game "at home", even though it hasn't reached the distribution center yet, speeding up the process and getting your game faster.

    Blockbuster Vs Redbox

  • well gamefly is worthless because they are always scratched and have finger prints on them from the little 5 year old kids who play call of duty.

    blockbuster is almost the same as gamefly but they have a store where you can get a new one fast instead of sending it in to the company and them sending it back.

    redbox is very bad and expensive. i think its about 2 dollars a day for a game. with gamefly its about 7 dollars depending on how many games you want at once. and blockbuster is about 10 dollars a month and you can get new ones by going to the store.

    so if you have a blockbuster STORE by you i would go with them because they are the best and fastest because of the in sotre exchange.

    if you do not have a blockbuster store near you, it would be best to go with gamefly

    dont go with redbox unless you want the game for only 24 hours.

    blockbuster-10 dollars a month

    gamefly- 7 to 10 dollars a month

    redbox- 2 dollars a day

    Source(s): ive tryed all of them

    Sorry I don't know about Redbox or Blockbuster cause I never used them, but I do know that Gamefly is slow as hell.

    Gamefly only has a few shipping facilities in the country, mainly near the coasts, so you're going to get it faster or slower depending on where you live. I live near Chicago and it took about 2-3 days to ship a game back, and another 2-3 to get another game. So it pretty much took an entire week for me to get a new game.

    I had a good experience with gamefly when I used it. I haven't tried any of the others, though, so I can't speak for them. I have, however, heard very good things about redbox, and they're starting to pop up all around in my city, so it should be pretty easy to find one, as I'm even seeing them in very small towns.
