Is Gamefly getting more popular?

For the fourth release out of five I haven't gotten the game on release day and the availability is "Low" meaning it has a 25-45% chance to ship on any given day.  All four of these titles have been "low" since release and I haven't had one ship yet.  The one release that I got on release day was Fifa 09.  I have been keeping two slots open in my Q to get these anticipated releases.

The four that I didn't get were:

Blitz II
Dead Space
Fable II
Farcry 2

I wonder if GF is not ordering as many copies or if there memberships is exploding.

Originally posted by Brent I think it is a combination of things. It is getting more popular. Our porous economy has only helped companies like Gamefly. I think more people are renting new releases and then buying them shortly after. Gamefly has never been that great (for me) in having new releases.

Ditto with me, which is one of the reasons I dropped it last Spring.  I was thinking about starting it up again, but not if I can't get at least one of the premier titles out at any given time.

I have not had this problem... got Saints Row 2, Fable 2, and Midnight Club Los Angeles all shipped out upon release, with some even shipping via FastReturn before my game even got back to them.  I would give them a call and see if everything's cool with your queue... I remember once mine somehow got "stuck" and the rep fiddled with something, got it going again and gave me some Gamefly Dollars for my trouble.

Are you enjoying SR2 or Fable 2 more, Slumber?

I played the first hour of Fable last night and man was it boring.  I hear it gets better, but with Fallout 3 dropping soon (which I've pre-ordered from Amazon), who knows how long it is for this world.
