Gamerang Vs. Gamefly


So after having a Gamefly account for several months I got fed up. Turnaround times are slow and they never have what I want when I want it. So I researched their competitors and signed up for a Gamerang account. I’m going to make my game queues on both services identical and return the discs at exactly the same time. I’ll post my results here and keep it updated. For starters here is what the services charged my credit card and my first return date. I’m not including the special introductory offers and long term bonuses they offer. A couple months of slightly reduced costs and/or special offers to buy used games are just marketing. I want quick turnaround times and the game I want not a substitute I only kinda want. Here we go:
Monthly costs:
- Gamerang – $17.95
- Gamefly – $19.52
2/22/10:
Game queue on both services and discs from both services were put in the mail:
- Mass Effect 2
- Dantes Inferno
- Darksiders
- Assassins Creed 2
- Bayonetta
3/2/10:
Gamefly: Received “Mass Effect 2″. The number 1 selection in my queue (first time this has EVER happened).
Gamerang: Received “Darksiders”. The number 3 selection in my queue.
Winner: Gamefly. Both companies took 10 days (?!) to cycle discs but for the first time Gamefly sent me what I wanted the most.
