GameFly Opening Distribution Center In Austin, TX
According to a Joystiq reader who was running around Monster.com, there's a job opening listed for GameFly. Here is that entry:
"We are the leading subscription based video game rental company headquartered in Los Angeles, CA. We will be opening a satellite Distribution Center in Austin and we have an outstanding opportunity for an OPERATIONS MANAGER."
A good move for GameFly. The chief complaint I hear from friends who use the game rental service is that the turn-around time can be somewhat lengthy. Perhaps after my boyfriend and I make our new home in the tech-mecca of Austin in about two months, we'll join GameFly. Hopefully the turn-around time will be a swift day or two by the time it's open? As for the rest of the country, no doubt that another distribution center, in addition to the branch opened and recently expanded in Pittsburg, will help get games to and from their renters in a more timely fashion. So, what are your opinions on GameFly? Future customers would very much like to know.

Other stuff like this: Austin, GameFly
I live in Rhode Island and have a 2 game a month membership. I had quit Gamefly a while ago because prior to the Pittsburgh location it was taking almost 2 weeks to receive a game. That sucked. Some once they opened the new shipping center I gave it a try. Much much better. I now receive my games in about a week. The only thing bothering me now is the pricing. I have 2 games out for about 25.00 a month. In about 2 months I could BUY a game. I may be cancelling my membership again. :(
I actually just canceled. I actually liked gamefly when I had it, problem was that I just didn't have enough time to play the games I wanted to in order to make it worth the money. I actually held Shadow Hearts and Shadow Hearts 2 for SEVEN months before I returned them. God, 25 bucks a month to hold those two games. AND I STILL NEVER PLAYED THEM. D: Other than that though, good service. :)
