Intelliflix, a Netlix competitor, used to differentiate themselves by offering video games and “mature content” – in addition to standard movie rentals… Well, they’ll still offer the adult stuff.
Intelliflix eliminated the game offering for new customers in June of 2007. Due to the continually changing market for games and game consoles, we made this decision in order to focus our resources on providing the highest quality movie rental experience for our customers. Intelliflix customers that had a Premium membership prior to this change will be grandfathered in, and thus still be allowed to rent games as part of their plan.
Gamefly is still a mail order video game rental option, though neither Davis nor I would recommend them. Blockbuster Total Access provides one (or two if you’ve been around awhile) gaming coupon a month, but that requires a store visit. Good thing I’ve got so many Live Arcade and free game demos to choose from on my 360.
Gamefly is kinda better since the East coast center opened. Still a bit on the high side price-wise and fairly slow, but it’s *kinda* better.
Kinda. :)
When you weigh all the factors Gamefly is the only way to go for renting games. If you want movies you use Netflix. If you want video games you use Gamefly. No brainer. If you do the math you still come out way ahead cost wise.
There’s no question you save money with them, but in my experience the turnaround times (and lost games) made the service barely usable. HOWEVER, Gamefly has opened an East Coast distribution center and their marketing team has reached out to me – so I’ll be giving them another try shortly. And will report on my experiences.
gamefly’s new distribution center has made a difference although I rarely had any qualms in the first place. turnaround varied but has always been within reason. All i care about is getting whatever games I want without have to drop big bucks. remember back when everybody was doubting them. the new dist center has stopped a lot of that. serious gamers who aren’t using them either don’t get it or are just stubborn. not sure why you wouldn’t recommend them. that’s just ridiculous.
I wouldn’t recommend them because game turnaround was frequently 10-14 days and they conveniently misplaced my last game rental when I tried to quit (see linked post above). However, I’m giving them a second chance so we’ll see how it goes.
I DON’T RECOMMEND INTELLIFLIX AT ALL! POOR SERVICE… RUN-DOWN DVD SELECTIONS… AND OF COURSE, NO CUSTOMER SERVICE
You mention that they still carry adult titles. Well barely – they cut out at least 90% of those towards the end of the summer. And they never sent me the games I had queued any way.
They are LIARS, CHEATS, SWINDLES. Put simply, Intelliflix is a SCAM.
I would love to know the renewal rate on Intelliflix. You can only expect 4 movies a month regardless of the level that you paid for. Virtually no selection and so far 10% of the movies I have received were defective.
