Just trying to do some research on ppl who use these services. Now that evry title significantly gone up 10$ and most games can be great or burn you is this a great service to use? I would like to here the pros and cons of ppl who actually have it and their experiances with it. Do you get these titles on the release date if u put in for them Exp Wario Ware on the 16 or does it come late. ThankxPh43r M3h
Well my friend uses the service and has nothing bad to say about it other than the fact you should wait at least 3 days after a holiday before sending out the game cause he's lost about 3 games in the mail. But all you have to do is tell them that you sent it and they'll handle it.

If you play enough games then Gamefly is definitely worth it.
not if you only have a wii, IMO

there are only a handful of games available for the wii, take out the ones you should own (zelda, madden, rayman, excite truck, wario maybe) and that doesnt leave many titles to rent thru gamefly, just your local hollywood video should suffice

now if you have 360 also, then i would say gamefly is the way to go
its a lot more than a handful

thats 55 right now which is actually pretty good but its all so new, give em a few months and itll be tons more than that.
I have Gamefly and i absolutely love it. The ONLY complaint is that shipments are slow. It takes about 4 days to get a game and about 2 days for them to receive the information on the one you shipped out so they can send the next out. So turn around time is about 6 days. If you live closer to Cali its even faster.
All the game are at discounted prices if you buy them. When you buy them they send you the case and booklet too, so its like new. Plus every 3 months you get a $5 coupon towards a game. After 6 months 5% off all game and after 9 months 10% off.
Thats a lot of info but i hope it helped. If you wanna know anything else just let me know.
I used gamefly for almost a year and just wanted to say that I played so many great games, and I saved a lot of money. Why not rent, you can keep the game as long as you want and return it when you want too. Usually you pay $50 bucks for a game that you end up beating in a few days and only sell back to gamestop/ebgames for half. Gamefly might not be good if you have a Wii right now...but **Cough** Gamecube **Cough**.

I loved gamefly for the DS/GBA games since there are so many.
I think it's worth it. It's a lot cheaper than buying them and you get to keep them longer than Blockbuster allows. I don't usually rent games right when they are released though.
check out my signature...I use them and love them. I get about 4 games a month...and with the mod chips coming out and .iso backups for your games, its a easy method for game access...

I really like gamefly because it saves me a lot of $. I get 4 games a month for $21 or something for $200 worth of games...most after you beat you wont ever play again.

If you signup PLEASE use my signature link to get me a referral!

Thanks!

That maybe true if you just do in store rentals with blockbuster. I dont know about how well the service is but blockbuster now offers the same online/mail type rental system. sept you can return to a blockbuster store. i dont know about rent. but its the same kinda deal you pay 25/m or what ever the price is. Mite be worth checking out. Me? ill wait for a good mod chip and support the good games by buying them.

but thats illegal dude...
ARRrrrgh. There be pirates amongst us.

the blockbuster subscription lets you return/rent games to/from a store. that's a good idea, but blockbuster doesn't do DS, GBA or PSP titles, so it's a trade off.
