42. "All great but..." Submitted on January 8, 2009

I have been using gamefly for a couple years now and every things been perfect so far. But lately i've noticed that all the games are on high availability. Yes high availability means that there is supposedly has 75% of getting the game and if you put it as your #1 game it will be top priority. When ever i seem to have a game in high on my #1 it never comes and skips down to all my games that are on available now. But recently ALL games have been on high availability and even they don't come. Im on a 3 game plan and most of my games are on high and gamefly has yet to send me a new game. Im hoping one day they can correct the availability system and maybe even get more copies of new games so they don't run out and stay on very low availability the very day the game comes out.

43. "Something fishy with their inventory" Submitted on January 7, 2009

It's taking a minimum of 48 hours to ship a new game after they have received my returned game. With the slow turnaround and the time it takes to get to and from the distribution center, it takes over a week to get a new game.

I’ve noticed on reviews that this problem has just been heightened in the last couple months (after it had gotten better with new distribution centers). I also noticed a month ago they had a huge selection of games for sale (80 plus for my console, Wii). I looked this week and there is one or two now available for sale (how would it go from 80 to 1 in two weeks time?). This looks like they were selling off their inventory to get some extra cash. Now that a new year has begun (and I assume a bunch of people complained), they stopped selling it off. Either that or they sold off most of their inventory and don’t have much left. This is further evidenced by the fact it took them over two days to ship a “high availability” game once they received my last one. I find this rating of availability to be a smoke screen for lack of inventory and an emphasis on selling assets for cash.

49. "Not Worth it" Submitted on December 22, 2008

They have a great selection, But beware you will never get the game you want. You spend more time waiting for the games then you do playing them. The shipping time is horrible 7-10 days is waaaaaaaay to long to wait. You cant contact them by phone because they don't list the # on the site. It really seems like a good deal until you find your self having no games to play for 2 weeks out of the month.

50. "A thoroughly dishonest company" Submitted on December 20, 2008

I am in the process of exploring a class-action lawsuit against GameFly. E-mail address to get involved is below.

They knowingly maintain stock levels that are far below adequate and use a black-box system to determine how games are shipped out. They intentionally do not reveal this system in its entirety anywhere on their website, because there is no cohesive, fair system in place. They simply do what is in their best business interest -charge a lot of customers for the service but buy very few games- and then setup smoke screens to explain away the unavailability of games.

This is an extremely poor service that has only gotten worse over the last year. Their low inventory levels are only half the problem, the real issue, in my mind, is that they go to such elaborate lengths to deceive their customers about why the games are not available. They attempt to paint a picture in which there are many games, but other gamers are playing them at the moment. In reality they have a below adequate level of inventory and they are telling every customer that some other gamer is playing the game they want right now. I have some extensive evidence for this and, if you've had a similar experience, send an e-mail to "bakuganwholesale" with the domain name "gmail" . "com"

56. "Availability deception" Submitted on November 6, 2008

Been a subscriber for 1 year. New PS3 in Nov of 07 and subscriber since then.

In the past 6 months the overall service has gotten worse. Shipping and availability are horrible!

My latest observation is that if you have several popular titles (most likely on "Low Availability") then it will take about 2 weeks to receive one of those. That's unacceptable, it is no longer cost effective to keep subscribing at that point, vs renting at a local store.

Also, once they do ship one of the "Low Availability" games the rest of the popular ones in your queue will change to "High Availability." As soon as they receive your game back, those same "High Availability" games go back to Low status giving them an excuse not to ship. Again, totally unacceptable, the availability of a game should not be dependent on whether or not you have a game out but that is exactly what is happening with my queue.

3 days left on my sub, then this customer is going on "Low Availability."

Coincidently around 6 months ago I changed my sub from 2 games out to 1 and my service has steadily decreased since then. THIS inspite of GF opening a new distro center in Austin, just a few hours away from me.

Perhaps if you keep paying more, for 2 games out, or have multiple consoles to keep you busy the service is ok. However, if you have 1 console and only plan on 1 game out at a time the service is ridiculous.

57. "Not worth 16 bucks a month" Submitted on November 3, 2008

I don't like paying for days when my game is not in transit. Netflix solved this problem a long time ago. Seeing as how I can watch 3 movies in a day or two and I will probably have a game for 2-4 weeks, I don't understand why they don't have enough copies. They only have to ship on average a disc or two per month. Netflix ships ungodly numbers of discs per month and they almost always have new movies in stock that get to your home in a day. Gamefly has a Los Angeles distro center but I'm always wondering whether it will get to my house the next day. What a waste of money.

60. "it is good shipping is fast" Submitted on October 23, 2008

I know everybody says that gamefly takes a long time to get games, but it doesn't it depends on were you live they are opening new shipping centers every year now. I live in michigan and it takes 2 days shipping time to get a game, i get the new game i want but only if you have a open slot on the release date if you don't you will have to wait a few days.

Also in two years of have having gamefly i only had two problems with games all the post offices fault. The first time they lost the game in the mail after a week you can report it takes 1-2 days for them to process it then they will send you another copy of the game.
The second time the mailman delieved it to someone else and they took the game out and sealed it back up and sent it out but instead of tearing off the outside cover which you do when you send a game back so it returns to gamefly, it came back to me i reported it to gamefly and then they are going to send me a new game, also you don't have to pay for it since it was the postal offices error.

I love having gamefly i suggest it to anyone that is a hardcore gamer and doesn't have the money to buy 4 games every month you can pay $240 to buy new games or $25 and rent them for 2 weeks each then by that time you sick of them already, which do you choose.
