Game Fly?

[sum182oftheyear]

Okay well I'm thinking about using gamefly, but I was hoping to get the opinions of people who have used it before.

How exactly does it work? Do you just select the games you want then they send them to you 1 or 2 and a time?

How long does it take from when you send yours back for you to receive a new one?

Do they go out of stock on some of them very often?

Does the game come in that thin cardboard sleeve or an actual case?

Thanks for any help.

Yeah, 1 game at a time is the cheapest then the next one, 2 games is more expencive.

It usually takes about 1 week for me.

Hot games always have a Huge waiting list

They come in cheap-ass sleves and some games don't even work..

You can get 1 or 2 at a time yes,
For me it was only like 3 days but, I think it all depends on how far away you are from their warehouse.
The best/newest ones do go out of stock fast yes but, you can put in your reserve really early if you are worried about that...
And yes it is a cardboard sleeve, in order to go in the mail, an actual case would be expensive...
And in regards to CTRL Freaks last part, I never had any failed games...

[FILTHY J NASTY]

I heard they are good, but really expensive, and the games some time are falty,



Doesn't blockbuster do this?

[Pdog1]

No, blockbuster online does not do this.

But, sum, If you are just looking for a cheap way to rent games, go to EB Games and buy a USED game, then return it within a week, no charge and no questions asked...

Filthy: Blockbuster has a gamepass which I have but it's the same price as gameflys 2 game rental but you only get one with blockbuster, and c'mon, blockbuster never has anything in stock.

Pdog: I don't ever have enough money to do that lol.

I used gamefly before its really good. We got the games about 4 days after sending our old one back because we live near one of the headquarter places.

All you have to do is have like a reserve of $50 in order to buy them, but you get it back every time you return them... just save up $50 and keep using it forever lol

I used to use gamefly, it was..okay. Took about 2-3 buisness days to get the game, and the popular games ALWAYS have long ass waits.

[sum182oftheyear]

It seems like every game on the site has a short wait.

[m1ndless]

Yeah, Short Wait usually means a few days :(

Also, what happens when you choose to keep it after you've rented it? Do they charge your account and send you the case, or do you have to keep it in the crappy cardboard sleeve?

[Hybrid]

I think they give you the crappy cardboard sleeve. If you buy it I think you have to pay immedietly using Gamefly.com

Thanks for the help, I just went online and they said my copy of Project 8 and Lost Planet have been shipped, after they say that how long does it take you guys to receive it?

[RaGe]

When I tried it they were extremely slow

I think on the first page someone said 3-4 days. Depending on where you live.

[Wes]

3-4 days is rediculous. It would be cheeper and more efficient to just go to blockbuster and buy their monthly game pass.

[sum182oftheyear]

I used to have the gamepass, but all my Blockbuster really has launch games, and very very very few newer ones.

[sum182oftheyear]

Wow they only took two days to get here, thanks guys.
