GameFly Review

Let me start out by saying that I have been a Gamefly customer for 2 years now and I am very satisfied with their video game rental service. I recommend it to all my gamer friends and family. I wrote this review based on my personal experience with them. I used to be like you where every month I would spend $60 or more on just one single game only to play it until I passed it and never play it again. I wisened up, joined Gamefly and now I don’t spend near half of what I used to spend and I get to play a lot more video games per month now than before. But read my review and then try out the Gamefly free trial offer. You have nothing to lose and a lot of money to save.
Well, so I signed up for the 10 day trial. They send you 2 games out and the trial is for 10 days. I figured that would be more than enough time for me to test their service. So went ahead and I signed up. While they do ask for your credit card information, you wont get billed unless you decide to continue the service past the 10 day trial service. Cancelling it is easy so you wont have problems there.
Alright, so I got done filling out their form and what not and then I am able to login and browse the games they have. The searching capabilities are good for the site. It does feel a bit slow, however I think that has to do with me being on a wireless connection and being more than 100 feet away from base. So I’ll neglect the speed issue for now. OK so I login and I can quickly go and look for a game I am interested in. I browse for a bit and pick two games out. I picked out 2 XBOX 360 games since I also have XBOX 360 ( sorry no Wii games this time ) and it had been a while since I used it so I picked up Grand Theft Auto 4 and Gears of War 2. I thought that since these two games are very popular that they would probably be rented out and not in stock with many people checking them out.
Well, both games were available and I was able to get them. I ordered them on a Saturday and since mail doesn’t come Sunday, I had to wait until Monday to see if they would arrive then. Oh the agony of waiting!!! Anyway, come Monday, I was expecting the hot chick from their ads to deliver the games, but instead I got my normal mailman to bring them. There goes 1 point off their reputation! Just kidding. OK, so they arrived Monday, I have a feeling if mail was delivered on Sunday, they would have arrived then. I applaud them for their quick delivery.
I get two packages, well, CD mailer packages. They are quite sturdy and are inside a plastic wrapper. So I tear the plastic packaging open and booya! I am presented with a sturdy cardboard type holder. I open it and yes there are my games. One in each of the packages. The sturdy cardboard thing can be reversed and is a prepaid return package. That way you don’t have to spend money on return postage. That I wasn’t expecting. So that’s a good thing. Upon inspection of the games there are minor scratches on them. Like swirly type scratches. But they are very minor and I somewhat expected this from rental games. So I popped GTA 4 in my XBOX 360 and right away it worked. I setup the game and off I started playing. It never skipped, the sound never faltered. It was perfect. Alright, so after playing it for a few minutes, I decided to play Gears of War 2 for a bit. I popped it in and also right away I was playing without problems. I have XBOX Live so I went online only to have my butt kicked by daily players.
Alright, so I held onto the games until day 10. I decided to see if it would be alright to cancel then. I did not want to cancel but I figured I’d test that part out as well. So I dialed the phone number listed in the insert that came with the game. There is a couple of prompts where you have to push X number to get to customer service. Once I get a live person, which was under 1 minute since I made the call, I ask to have my account cancelled and that I would like to return the games now. I figured this is where they would ambush me with offers and try to do anything to keep me in their grips. Wrong! They only asked me if there was anything I disliked about their service. I said no and just didn’t want to continue it. (Lies! I wanted to continue it so bad!) Alright, so they said, OK, no problem. They ask my full name and address and a minute or two later, I am told my trial is over, I wont get charged to continue the service and I can return the games at my convenience.
I was surprised to hear that as other places would charge you until they received the game back. Not with GameFly. Alright, so I send the games back and that was that. I waited like a week or two before giving in and signing up for their $8.95 offer. The $8.95 a month offer is for one game out, you can have 2 games out for $12.95 a month. I usually just play one game non stop until I get tired of it. So I figured the $8.95 was just right for me. I went back to GameFly.com and logged into the account I originally made and simply activated my subscription and picked a game I wanted, Super Smash Bros. and the next day the game arrived in the mail. Talk about fast service.
So yeah, I think GameFly is a great service and easy to use. I recommend it to anyone who likes to rent games instead of buying them. I also recommend it if you would like to rent a game before buying it. They have new games in stock and make sure to have enough games for everyone. It has been 2 years since I’ve had the service and I have zero complaints about it. However, don’t take my word for it, sign up for their 10 day trial offer here: GameFly Free Trial Offer
