Honestly, Gamefly has been better with new releases. I got Killzone 2 within a few days after launch. It looks like they stock up in anticipation of a lot of people Keeping It.

Even though it's gonna hurt the average GPA of students, I'm really happy for these.

My company programs, makes, and ships them for Gamefly, so it means I get to keep my job.

You support Gamestop? Eeeeewww. I would never buy from them.

(GAME and EB are owned by Gamestop)
Nope, Game is not owned by Gamestop. Where did you hear that? EB Games is though.

If Wikipedia is wrong on this one, then sorry. I have never been to a GAME as I am located in the United States. Anyways, the article states that GAME is owned by EB Games, which is in turn owned by Gamestop.

Seemingly they only own 25%, though I have no idea what that actually means in terms of ownership. So you're basically saying that of the videogame shops in the UK, there is EBGames, who own part of GAME, who own Gamestation? Nice to see there are no monopolies going on...

I think article said that they later bought more of the retailers, or just bought out specific storefronts themselves, I'm a little shaky on the details, but EB is involved somewhere.

I have a gamefly subscription but their shipping time is atrocious. I do hope that thees kiosks will have a way, if not now, soon, for existing subscribers to return and rent games instantly. I know I would take advantage of such a service for sure.
