Hey guys, I know this is slightly off-topic but Gamefly has offically opened an East Coast Distribution Center. This is great news for those who subscribe to the service like myself on the East Coast or Midwest, it will hopefully speed-up the turn-around times between games. Here is the link:

For those who are hyper-linked challenged, here is the full story:

Gamefly is a super-cool service, no doubt. Netflix for games? Who can argue with that? But as anyone who's cursed to live anywhere outside of the West Coast (such as myself) knows, the one Netflix feature Gamefly sorely lacks is the lightening-quick turnaround time. This is almost definitely due to the fact that up until this week there has only been one GameFly distribution center, located in the heart of California.
Joystiq brings the fantastic news that GameFly has officially opened up their second distribution center. This one is situated firmly on the East Coast, Pittsburgh specifically, and GameFly says it will "serve East Coast and midwest members." This should hopefully help ease the main complaint consumers have had with the service and help push it towards true Netflix levels.

I was wondering why the disc I received yesterday came fom Pittsburg.

their crap turnaround times is why I cancelled my service 3 years ago. Maybe I'll give them another try in a bit.

I have been looking at this. I would really like it if Netflix/Blockbuster offered the service.

might be good...

isn't gameznflix a much better deal or am i missing something about gamefly? 3 games out for the same price as one game out at gamefly....is the availability much betteR?

For me Gameznflix is painfully slow. I only receive half the items I put in my queue. Gamefly is more expensive but worth it.

I dumped Gamefly a couple years ago because the turnaround time to the East Coast was ridiculous. I have Gameznfilx now and don't have a huge problem with it. Having movies and games on one service is a nice option. Turnaround time and availability is okay for me, but varies wildly for others. Rental habits are different for everybody and distance from a distribution center is also important. Basically, you've got to pick one through trial and error.

I had a game ship today, let's see how long it takes to get to me in NJ.

I live in Paterson and it only took two days for me to get spidey 3.

Gameznflix would be a waste for me since I already subscribe to netflix and their closest distribution center is less than 40 miles away from me so turnaround is as fast as the USPS can run them.

Boggles the mind that they open a new distribution center in the east coast but choose not to ship to NY. :mad:

why doesn't BB online offer games for rent, I never understood the reason behind it, surely that service would attract more customers.
