]]> Comment on Online Game Rentals (are Crap) by Lucien http://www.zicklepop.com/blog/online-game-rentals-are-crap/#comment-70 Lucien Thu, 29 Nov 2007 20:36:28 +0000 http://www.zicklepop.com/blog/online-game-rentals-are-crap/#comment-70 Hi again. The fast return service is most definitely true. I'm not sure who you talked to but if it was your garden variety postal worker that might explain it. Not to bag on our fine postal delivery folks but it's possible that the post office that services your area may not offer the service. From what I understand not all of them do though it sounds like more are getting on board. Here's what the gamefly site has to say about it. http://gamefly.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/gamefly.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=107&p_created=1120064400&p_sid=_66XyZRi&p_accessibility=0&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9MzgmcF9wcm9kcz0mcF9jYXRzPTAmcF9wdj0mcF9jdj0mcF9wYWdlPTEmcF9zZWFyY2hfdGV4dD1mYXN0IHJldHVybg**&p_li=&p_topview=1 Hi again.

It does make financially sense which is why I got interested in game rentals. 60$ for a game is lame, 15$ a month for a game that's not shipping to you for the next 3 months is lame too. I am currently back with Gamefly and in talks with the people over at GottaPlay. I’ve seen nothing about the return-notification.

Are you aware of the fast return thing with the post office they do? In a nutshell the post office scans your game (providing the post office receiving it offers the service, not all do) and Gamefly gets notified and then ships the next game(s) in your queue. They don't have to physically receive the game if they get the postal notification it's been put in the mail back to them. It's a great service if your post office offers it so it's worth looking into. In my experience I've only seen Gamefly shipping speeds improve. I'm on the east coast and it used to take five or six days to get games from the California distribution center but now that they've opened up a new one in PA to service the east I rarely experience more than a three day turn around. What sucks is with all the new game releases and the holidays coming up gaming is getting to the point where it's oost prohibitive so Gamefly is a financial godsend if you wanna stay on top of everything and not burn through your cash. I do the two game/mo. plan and when I do the math on games played and money spent the membership has essentially paid for itself. Case and point. In five months time I've spent roughly $100 on my GF membership and played about 12 games. That's factoring in a few I sent back almost immediately. I couldn't buy two new games for $100. Overall it just makes financial sense even if it takes a few days to get a game in the mail. Gamefly’s the best one out there. Are you aware of the fast return thing with the post office they do?

That is screwing with your developers. That is rude and uncalled for. They don't have to wait till hackers do something to claim it as their own. Boot Camp and DRM free and now 3rd Party apps were all done by hackers and other companies before Apple even announced they would do it.</p> That is true but don’t developers don’t go to WWDC to hear “No real apps, just web apps!” That is screwing with your developers.
