Gamefly does prioritize your first selection, but after 24 or 48 hours it moves down to the next available one.  Keep it empty except for exactly what you want.  Waiting a couple extra days for a title to become available is better than using up a rental (and a long transit time) on something older.  This method has worked well for me over the years.  Even when Crackdown was in heavy demand (due to the Halo 3 beta) I didn't wait more than a few extra days.  They get returns at a very good clip it seems, so the key is forcing the Queue to wait for one to come in.</blockquote>
