My first Gamefly experience was fantastic. As soon as I signed up, the first two games in my queue were out the door to me. One was even a new release: Red Faction-Guerrilla. I was impressed. When I sent both games back, they were returned without incident, and I was promptly notified that my next game was on the way.
That's when it got wonky. My next game got lost in the mail. So they sent me another copy. A couple discs later, another game got lost in the mail. Then another... And today I suspected a fourth was going to give up the ghost. (Thankfully, a few minutes ago I received a text message alerted me that they had received the game.)
Anyway, it got me thinking: I wonder what my ration of lost games vs. total games rented is?
It is 3/9.
One-third.
Is this normal? Does anyone else have these problems? I know Gamefly is entering a legal battle with the Postal Service over some related issues. But I just wanted to know if anyone else has this kind of a win-loss record with Gamefly. Or am I unique?
