Best Online Game rental place?

What's the best online game rental place? Everyone recommends gamefly. Here are the things I'm looking for:

Fast Turnaround time (I live in L.A.).
Best Selection
Good deal for 2-3 games out
Maybe even Movie and Anime rentals.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanx!

I use the one from blockbuster. It is 17.99 for 3 movie/games out at a time, the turn around time is fast (2-3 day), and every month you get two coupons for in store rentals (for free). Hasn't failed me yet.

Gamefly ships from CA so I think you'd have the quickest turnaround time from them. Search online for some good coupon offers (15 day trial etc)

2nd for Gamefly. Good selection, good website, decent prices if you want to "keep it" the only problem is slow turn around time if you aren't close to them.

I like gamefly

BEWARE of gplay.com !!!!

I used their free trial about a year ago. When I cancelled, I returned all the games in their pre-paid envelopes.

Now, almost a year later, they called a collection agency on me saying that I didn't return one of the games and that I have to pay for it ($4X.xx).

I have an account with BB online and was not aware I can rent games also. I thought the moveis and games were 2 separate accounts?

BTW I tried Triggerfingers for awhile too. The website looks a little dodgy and the selection/prices aren't as good as Gamefly, but they are centrally located (Denver I believe) so they have better shipping/turn around times nationwide (in case people other than the OP are looking for ideas ).

Isn't this plan just for movies? I applied and all I can rent is movies.
