Is gamefly worth it?

[DudeistBelieve]

15 dollars a month, but I can keep the game for as long as I want and return it and get a new one.

Anyone know how long it takes for them to ship/send back? Is it worth the money or am I better off just buying games?

Where do you live?

It's been a long time (five years) since I had it but it took forfreakingever for games to show up here in Minnesota.

When I did it, they had distribution on the coasts so it would take two days to get there, one to process, and two to get to me. $15 and (at least) 1/4 my time was waiting.

If that has changed, I would consider getting GF again. Now as an adult, I don't have the time to make full use of GF but if you've got time to burn and if distribution has been fixed, it's well worth it.

I would say no, but I tend to spend more then a month on a game, and typically pay as much or less. Plus, there are tons of cheap games on Steam and PSN. I don't have as much time to play games as I used to, though, so it depends on your schedule. You can make it work to your benefit, but I tend to distrust subscription based services in general, unless they somehow adopted a Netflix type streaming model.

It really depends on how long it takes the game to arrive at your house, and how long it takes you to play it.
