Gamefly

[Joe_The_Plumber]

Ive been thinking about signing up at Gamefly for awhile and now i think i might. Im just asking if any of you guys have it and:

a) are they reliable?
b) about how long do you wait to get the games?
c) how much do you pay a month (it says $22 but Im sure theres some extra fees)
d) is it easy to send the game back?
e) is it worth it?

Don't you have to send the games back

 

[Joe_The_Plumber]

yeah thats the main reason Im hesitating. i dont wanna put it in the mail and it gets lost somehow and then i gotta deal with that

and thats why one of my questions is "is it easy to send the games back"

very. I have seen people use gamefly and they send some top dollar games for cheap. They come in good condition and you can play as long as you need (for a price of course) So if you plan on useing gamefly... here is my advise
1) 1 game at a time... dont want to drive up costs
2) dont get an online game (i.e CoD, Gears, ect.) Get something like Bioshock that has only single player
3) Get the game fast... the sooner the better. You can get a brand spanking new game if you act fast, and they have large amounts the same game.

If I were you... totally worth it. It's not like Blockbuster that has a small lackluster game section that they never take care of. That is all Gamefly is... is games, and they take good care of them too. And make sure you do also.

1 game? i thought you pay a set monthly fee and get 2 games at a time, and everytime you return one or both you can get one or two more


thanks for the response


edit: i take that back... $15 a month for one game or what i said above for 2 games

I did the one month trial and i rented two games, and ended up keeping one (GTA4). They came fast, and was easy to send in that second game. Overall a good experience, but I don't play my PS3 enough to pay for a subscription.

I recommend a different service called Gamerang. I used to use Gamefly but I found them to be VERY slow in sending new games and they rarely got the game scanned at my local Post Office so I had to wait for the game to make it all the way back to their main place before I got a new one. Also when I had an issue with one of the games they sent me, Gamefly were kinda jerks about sending me a new copy.

My bros have it and i think he said its 50 cents more a game cuse he gets two games at a time. they come quick unless they dont have any in stock so ur on a waiting list. They do offer games for cheap to buy to.

I will admit that I used 2 use a different service, but it was for dvd called netflix (maybe uve heard of it). Well I used them for a lil while, but stopped it (I think I was given a 1 month trial edition). But ya same concept, but Gamefly does games instead.

Why waste you time on renting when you can buy your games at game stop but i heard gamefly is good...

there commercial sucks tho but yeah

it is all in your hands as the reasons above sum it up

Why not online games?
