While not new, Gamefly has always been a good deal for renting out games for all the major consoles. Assuming consumers have the time to play and return games at a reasonable rate, renting out games through Gamefly can save a lot of money versus buying games to play.
Gamefly also has PC game sales and PC games that can be rented under an unlimited PC play option. Although I love the concept, the available title selections leave me a little disappointed even after the service has been available for months. It only contains old PC games that I have already beaten and not anything that I would consider new. Of course, if you haven't played any games for a few years then it does have some good ones like Bioshock and Assassin's Creed but for the rest of us it doesn't really provide anything compelling.
My guess is that the service suffers from the same problem that Netflix does - content providers are unwilling to provide the content for business reasons. I applaud the service but until they have recent games then it doesn't really add any value.
