Gamerang or Blockbuster Game Pass reviews?
« on: March 27, 2008, 12:52:04 PM »
Anyone used them? I'm getting really sick of Gamefly. Even with a new distro center in Pittsburgh (About 300 miles away), it's been 6 days I sent off my games and they haven't received them. Figure if the way back is even HALF of that, that's a NINE DAY turn around, which is atrocious. Gamerang has a distro center in Jersey, which sounds great, but are they useful? I've also considered getting a Blockbuster Game Pass. I have 3 BBs within reasonable distance of my house, but how are they with stock and availability?

I decided to try out Gamerang. Prices are similar enough, I figured I'm wasting my money for sure with GF, at least Gamerang might do me some good.

Thoughts: The Gamerang website kind of blows and they force you into a "free" Wired subscription at sign up, but if you're smart nough you can mail CondenNast and get a 9 dollar refund within 6 weeks. The "Wii" section of their website just seems to redirect to a random console, but I was able to find stuff using the Search function. A lot of things seem to be on "Short Wait", but we'll see.

On the plus side, I could literally drive to the shipping distro in about 20 minutes.

Worth considering: When I canceled my GF account, they offered me a 30% discount to stay on board. Can't hurt to try, it popped up before it let me cancel.

Gamerang just shipped Army of Two and Smash Bros. and they should be here in fewer than 3 days. So far, so good.

I have the BB gamepass for the past couple of years now and I've been pretty happy.  I've got a BB just a few blocks away from my house and they have a pretty wide selection (though the PS3 stuff is a little meger) and tend to get the newly released titles every week...which is usually on their shelves by Friday morning.

Defiintely worth the 20-some odd dollars I dole out every month.
