I'm thinking about signing up for it. What has been your experience with them?

I tried it for a little while. I live just outside of Baton Rouge and shipping times were very slow. Also, don't expect to easily get the new popular games because the demand is so high and stock is so low.

It's a good service. I stopped for awhile but renewed a month ago. It takes me about 4 days from when i send a game back to get a new one. New stuff is harder to get but I've gotten lucky before. It really let's you experiment. You'll add stuff to your list you'd never pay for but wanted to try and you might not keep it for long but it's still fun.

I get two at a time. The last two I got in were dishonored and dynasty warriors. I played dishonored for 3 days and sent it back. Will check out later to finish. I got dynasty warriors yesterday just to see how far it's advanced from the ps4. Still fun and I played an hour or so but I'll send it back today.

They usually have one free month offers so you can give them a shot and cancel if you are not satisfied. I've done this numerous times when I was broke and could not afford to purchase a game. The games always arrived within 3-4 days at most.

Honestly, the game library wasn't big enough on this generation to justify usage. It's starting to come around, I got Mad max and Metal Gear sent to me yesterday and they'll be here tomorrow.

Huh? They always had every game I ever wanted to play. Sometimes they were just all out.

Great service, fast shipping, and if you want a new game add it to top of your list before it comes out and you'll normally get it day after release.

Game library - meaning just a lack of games that are out. There were just so many games out for 360/PS3 you could always find something

They used to have a whole library of computer games you could download and play included with the membership. But I think they sold that portion of their company and now focus on the mail-in game.

My biggest issue was games not being available. I had Mad Max and MGSV in my Q for months. The release date comes, they don't send me a copy of either. It just dropped to "Low Availability". That pissed me off to no end. Essentially I'm paying for something I'm not using at the moment. Sure I could get other games shipped, but then I wouldn't be in line to receive the games I want. I'll probably be waiting a week just for them to ship, then another 4-5 days after that to receive them. fricking frustrating to no end.........

There are no better alternatives that I know of, though. Gamerang is an option, but I hear it's more of the same just with even longer waits. I guess it is what it is.....
