Gamefly saving "Long Wait" titles for new recruits?

I signed up over the weekend, and apparently now I've got a copy of Disgaea coming to me in the mail!



Big WTF moment - makes me wonder if they did this just to give me a favorable first impression. Whatever it is, I'm fucking happy right now.

There have been numerous reports that their service degrades at a rate equal to the amount of time you spend with them.

I've heard that too. It certainly can't get much better than getting one of the most sought-after games on the planet on the first day.

Every online rental store gives preference to new members and light users. No surprise.

Exactly. That's why you quit and give it a few months before signing back up. :D

FastReturn has made everything all right for me....

It's been shit for me, they told me my area had it, yet they haven't used it. My turnaround for games is like 10 days.

What are you gonna do, sell it on eBay?

Disgaea? I'm going to play it, of course.. for as long as I can stand it. I want to play it so the next time I see the $39.99 used copy at Blockbuster, I won't be tempted.

BTW, they're based in Los Angeles and I live in a suburb of San Jose, so I'm hopeful that they'll be above average for me compared with users in, say, Iowa.

Why don't people just cancel and re-sign-up to keep getting that 'new subscriber freshness'.

because they keep track of your address. i hope you know alot of friendly neighbors

I live in VA, and I've never had any sort of problem with them (I've been with them since they started, year and a half ago?). Since they started the fast return thingie my turnaround time is 3-4 DAYS. I don't know how I'm on the east coast with a constant 3-4 day turnaround time and people in the midwest have a 10 day one >_>.

Now they've shipped SMT: Nocturne too. No question about it, they're trying to win me over. Well, what can I say? So far, so good.
