Wall Street Journal: Cheaper, More Convienant, but Slower Delivery
Wall Street Journal did a review of different video game rental clubs on the premise that maybe it makes more sense to rent games from one of these services rather than buy them at $50 each. For the review, the WSJ purchased subscriptions from Gamelender GameFly Inc., Intelliflix Inc. and RentZero
Overall, the reviewers found that most of the sites had problems delivering games on time. GPlay, Gamelender, and Rentzero failed to deliver games within 10 days of ordering them. Gamefly and Gotaplay was the only company of the five to ship all of the ordered titles on time, even just-released NCAA Football 2006 for the PlayStation 2.
The WSJ didn’t say anything that would topple GameFly or Gotaplay from the leader position, but they also had nice things to say about Gamelender’s large library of over 7,000 titles (even though they failed to ship on time).
