I've never heard of GameFly, it's successful still?
I'm not sure how successful it is but still being around is a good sign. I used them way back but don't play new games that much anymore anyway. It's a really good service if you do play new games though, they have plans for 1-3 at a time (maybe 4? Can't remember), and it's way cheaper than buying even 1.

I don't see how Gamefly is sustainable long-term, but I guess they are doing fine with their rental business. They sold their digital service, which I would think is the opposite of what you want to be doing as more content moves to downloads.
To me, you are the teacher in the Charlie Brown cartoon.

Did they? They're certainly not future-proofing themselves then. There's a chance next-gen is largely digital only, probably not Nintendo yet but Sony & Microsoft are itching to make the plunge.

I think it was Silent Hill 3.
