Does anyone have it? Is it worth it? How long do you have to wait to get new releases? I've been thinking about trying it for a while and am still on the fence.

I had it for a long time up until 2012. It wasn't horrible, and it's really one of the only consistent ways to rent stuff now that Blockbuster is dead and Redbox doesn't seem super interested in providing a large selection. When I had it it was fairly fast, but I lived in Philly and my warehouse was in Pittsburgh, so it wasn't much of a distance. New games was always pretty hit or miss, to be honest. It was the part that made the whole thing frustrating, for me. You'd have a bunch of games available to ship, but they wouldn't because GF would want to wait until it was 2 days or so to see if your highest queued ones would become available. So there would sometimes be a week or so where if I wasn't checking it I'd just have nothing ship.
Weirdest part: I returned one game from an unlocked mailbox at the place I was living in 2012 (I always used just USPS boxes). It never arrived. When I reported it, my account was closed due to a bad address, and I was told I would have to call customer service to reactivate it. Was only the second time in my membership with them that a game was lost, but oh well. I had been looking to cut the cord, and that did the job right quick.
So TLDR: it's not too bad price wise and if you keep up on it, you will get your moneys worth, I'd say. Just be careful. I had Bayonetta for 6 months at one point because I was just too busy to think about it/return it. I ended up buying it (you have the option to keep in most cases)...for more than it would have been to buy it new in monthly sub money. Whoops.
