I guess that is good for those that don't have someone beating the game quickly. :) I figure I will let this go for the remainder of the trial period, then just stick with the local Blockbuster rental. Since there is a Blockbuster on the way home from work, it makes life very easy (and quick). It looks like, with this type of serice, you get 1 game a week.

I have come to the decision that, while the game selection is somewhat limited at the local BlockBuster stores, the on-line game rental industry is just not mature enough.
