That game looks so gooseberry fool .


What exactly are you guys doing to get such a fast turn around?

I paid 3 months and received two titles in that period. Never went back to them after that.

Lovefilm was great for me was super fast turn around. Send a copy in and receive a new game in a day or so.

I think what helps with my LoveFilmesque turnarounds is that I am on their highest priority package and I only rent new and green wait status games.

Oh and, Shadow Warrior has a user rating on Metacritic of 80 (2013 PC release). So yeah, don't go by looks... though oddly I did add it to my rental after seeing that trailer and coming to the conclusion that it looked kind of a laugh.

Shadow Warrior isn't as good as I'd hoped.

It's set out like a old 3D Realms/id game but with fancier graphics. It's not awful but I'd rather be playing one of the new releases next week than it, so I'll probably be sending it back unfinished on Monday and then renting it again when there's nothing else to play. Maybe.

Nooooooo.

I done goofed. Thought Lords of Fallen was out at end of the week when, in fact, it is out TODAY. I only sent my games off yesterday and although Boomerang got 'em this morning it seems I may have left it a little to late to get my hands on Lords any time soon.

fake edit: just checked their Twitter and apparently they may not have had that many copies in of Lords. Hmm. Will give it until Thursday and if I still haven't got it then I'll just go for one of the TWD PS4 games.

It's like a full time job for you sending these games back and forth. :lol:

I'm signing up again so I can rent WWE and COD.

Last time I signed up they send me two titles in the space of 3 month if that happens again I'll ask my bank to take my money back.

I don't buy games on any format except Wii U anymore. I haven't bought a single retail PS4 game, but I've played loads thanks to boomerang.

I must remember to post back Driveclub tonight so I can get CoD next week.

I've been after that since it came out, keep failing. I intend to finish wolfenstein this week and try and get mordor for the weekend.

In general, great service and just as good as lovefilm, if not better.

I'm getting a little tired of being sent stuff I only kinda want so I've put this back on top 3 only. I might have to wait but at least I'll get what I want. I haven't managed to get a new release yet :(

Sent back DriveClub yesterday and they got it today. Hoping they dispatch COD: AW tomorrow.


I've switched to the £11.99 package where you get 2 games at a time but a max of 4 rentals a month. I'm not sure what sort of priority you get for games but you can't preorder them. What you can do, however, is preorder them when you're on one of the non "value" packages and then when you switch they remain as preorders on your account. CoD: AW is the first of mine to come out since I made the switch so I'm curious to see as to whether or not I get it for launch.

I posted wolfenstein Thursday, got it this morning annoyingly and all my picks (including COD) are 'long wait'. I may have a period of nothing from boomerang, grr.

CoD posted. Will probably finish it before the week is out and have two free slots until the 14th.

14th
AC Unity
LEGO Batman 3

18th
GTA V
Far Cry 4

21st
Dragon Age: Inquisition

Batman and GTA get culled from the list for now as it would be impossible to play and complete and send them off in time to get the other games. strawberry floating November :x GTA I'll leave for next year (played PS3 version already) and will hopefully get Batman in December.

Sunset Overdrive has moved up to a yellow 'medium' wait time already. Hopefully I might get to try it soon.
Also have a free months sub, those points you get for not having your full allocation of games can build up pretty quickly.

The way they're allocated is sometimes a bit strange. Like in the past I have gotten points for having to wait for a game even though it was sent out on release date.

I find it difficult to get games which are already out. Took me like 10 days to get Shadow of Mordor. So long as you have nothing else on your list, though, you'll get new games on release.

If you haven't been lucky enough to get a game on launch then an obvious tactic is to add a green game to your list along with the new one (if your subs allows for it). That way you at least have something to play while you wait for the newer release.

Oh and I earned 160 points due to how I had to wait for CoD AW :lol: I got the game this morning.
