GameFly Just Got Better - East Coast Distribution
In the past I have tried many different rental services for games. When I last wrote up a bout between Blockbuster and GameFly, I still had enjoyed Blockbusters service, but a lazy part of me enjoyed GameFly.
There had previously been rumors of a facility opening in Texas, I am unsure if that had went through or not, all I know is I get all my games coming and sent to, California, which as a Floridian, blows. Still, I use their service, and I am glad I have stuck around so far, as I received the following email:
Dear Mike,
Starting this week, you may notice that the return address on your GameFly mailer will be Tampa, FL. We’re pleased to open this new Tampa Shipping Center as part of our continued effort to improve mailing times for GameFly members across the entire United States.
Your area will be supported by this new Shipping Center. Depending on inventory availability, you may continue to receive some shipments out of Los Angeles or Pittsburgh. We expect your shipping times to improve over the next few months.
We would appreciate your feedback, both positive and negative. Please send any comments about your experience to newdcfeedback@gamefly.com.
The GameFly Team

With East and West coast covered, hopefully the turnaround time for games will be as low as Netflix gets it (ie 3 days), put this with the fact that the last 3 times I have went to BlockBuster, they always have 10 copies of something like “The Bee Movie Game” where as the one copy of Mass Effect is of course rented out.

[...] news, right? Well, sadly, please see my post about GameFly opening up a Tampa distribution center from almost two months ago. I just pray that this second email actually means the center is open, I can only hope. — [...]
