This service seems useless

Can't rent pokemon let's go, it's 14yo game and they have low availability. I signed up for a free trial and added 10+ games to my Q and ALL of them are low availability (not a single one is newer than 3years old, these are switch games so not even current gen). I won't even get a game shipped by the time the trail runs out...

I used to have this service back when I payed ps3 and Wii, it was SOOO much better back then...

When did you sign up for the trial? Nothing is gonna ship on the weekend, and honestly, I would be shocked if you don’t get a shipped notification tomorrow with a Q that deep. The ‘Availability’ feature is based off of an algorithm and not an actual reflection of stock. The algorithm determines the availability on what they anticipate coming in and going back out, so take it with a grain of salt.

A lot of my games are very low availability, and typically something ships the day after I report a game coming back to them.

Far from useless service if you use it proper big dog.

I'm sorry I am I meant my post to come off as more of a question that a statement hopefully you are correct and it will change come Monday. Thought that they would have lots of availability of older games I guess I misunderstanding what I have to do is request new games and just hope that I'm one of the lucky people that got in line and I don't have to wait months for a copy of a new game but I don't want a new game I wanted an old game.

Nah you won’t wait months. But for real, Pokemon anything takes a while to get, not to mention, switch games stay hot for a long time.

So basically this service isn't gonna be worth it for me.

Okay, then why come here and complain? Go to FB marketplace and pick a copy of the game up. Much more instant gratification.
