Here's the suggestion: Gamefly has a queue of games just like Netflix, with a number field next to each title. My suggestion is that they put in a wild card, either 99 or 00 or something, which would keep a game in the queue but keep it from being considered an actual request.
My fake example was that if I had 2 football games I wouldn't want one coming right after the other, so instead of deleting it from my list and adding it again I could just put a 99 next to it and still be aware of it but not risk it being shipped next.
To me this seems like something a programmer could whip up in an afternoon, and if nobody used it ever then Gamefly would not be harmed by it. But if people actually used it, unwanted games would never be shipped and Gamefly would not be paying for shipping on games that might be turned around and sent back in right away. Win-win! But the idea will probably only go as far as this blog, which is why I felt I had to post it somewhere.
