Who you say? E-X-A-C-T-L-Y.

When trying to usurp the king, you need to do what the king does - only better. Gamefly is king when it comes to snail mail game renting and they do it VERY WELL. They have incredible sales, they have great customer service, and the turnaround time is phenomenal. There have been times that I decided to keep my game on a Sunday, updated my queue and had a new game on Tuesday. It is that fast. Plus, the selection is huge and the queue for new releases are tolerable. When you decide to pay for a game and keep it, they send you a minty fresh manual and case. Not to mention the free cash they give you towards any used item or even your subscription periodically. Did I already say that they give you 10% off EVERYTHING, including your subscription after you have been a member for a year? Oh wait, I just did.
