Apr 28th 2011 5:49PM (Joystiq)But with Games, unless you're 14 years old and burn the entire weekend, you don't finish up in a day or 2 (or 5). Sure, I've rented a game from Gamefly and said "okay, this blows" and dropped it in the mail the next day. With Gamefly's horrendous shipping time, turnaround on anything but the oldest stuff, I just wasted 1.5-2 weeks of calendar time so in that instance it wasn't really a bargain. But that is a rarity for me. Typically, when I rent a game (or my 14 year old rents a game), we'll play it for a week at a minimum. In many cases, that game hangs around for 2-4 weeks. In that case, thank goodness for Gamefly (currently at 3 disks/month).
So, here's what I take from this.....if it's an iffy game that you're not sure about or you're pretty sure you can beat it in 2 days (Portal 2), then Redbox is the way to go. If you know it's something you're going to like and its gonna take some time (Assassin's Creed 3, Dragon Age 2, etc.), you'd better get it in the Gamefly Queue baby because you'll break the bank at Redbox on those.
That said, COME ON GAMEFLY. You do need to have some more shipping centers. 2-3 days before you acknowledge you have it + 2-3 more days before it gets here after you ship it is too much. Not to mention that it does take an awfully long time if I've got a lot of new(ish) games in the queue and no old lame ones in there. It kills me to have 8-10 newish games lined up but immediately be sent that old game thats WAY DOWN IN THE QUEUE, just because my kid never got around to Dragon Age 1.
