The most interesting thing in this article was learning that there is more than one online game rental service.

It's a bit annoying that they don't ACTUALLY compare the services beyond the stats. I don't care if Service X CLAIMS to be the fastest delivery - I want to know if it IS the fastest.

Viva la Gamefly and the "Keep It" option.

2 - These sites are all stupid.
The games you want are always checked out. They're listed with a long wait on your Q.

Obviously, because the games you want are usually the new released ones everyone else wants.

Hello, maybe that should give those idiots a clue.

3 - Stay away from Gameznflix.com
They have the cheapest prices but they are horrible. I literally had 20+ items in my Q and they had nothing to send me for over 2 weeks.

gamefly sucks despite everyone knowing about it.
i hated 2 things about them...
01. took a week to send me a new game
02. never got any new releases until a month or 2 later

maybe one day an online renting company will get a clue and buy more than just 20 copies of a new release.
