Does anyone use this? I just got on it today, and got my first game shipped, should be here by thursday. It seems like it will be worth it, and plus if I want to buy the game, I can buy it cheaper then I normally would.

I have Lost Planet: Extreme Condition coming, has anyone played this yet?

I've been a GameFly subscriber for 2 years now. Never had a single problem with them. The one time a game was lost, I sent them an email, and the next day the game was resent.

I got the 3-game plan. Stupid g/f uses it to for her PSP.

What do they offer? In other words...what are the price plans and how many games can you have out at a time?

I would look it up but I am too lazy, and my work firewall probably blocks it.

Well, its pretty sweet cause you can keep the games you get for as long as you want. So you can beat it, and then return it.

It is a lot like netflix, where you create your Que, and they just keep shipping them once you ship your game back in. You pay monthly.

Here is a little breakdown on the costs...

One game out at a time costs $15.95 per month.

Two games out at a time costs $22.95 per month (this is the most popular and promoted plan).

The three game out at a time plan, which is only available to eligible users in good standing for a duration of 60 days, costs $29.95 per month.

The four game plan, which is only available to eligible users in good standing for about 60 days as well, costs $36.95 per month.

Thanks Slim. I love you.

I'll look into this. Even one game at a time at $16 means if you had two games in that month, it basically pays for itself.

oh jay, your makign me blush........

Ya, i liek it so far, there are some games where you really wanna try, but you dont want to buy. So gamefly is pretty cool, just rent it, beat it, or try it, and then return it.

Also, you can cancel anytime. So i might do that, once I rent some games I want to try, If I see there really arnt anymore at the moment, Ill just cancel for now, and get back on it when some more games come out.

I thought about doing this sometime ago, especially during the hot gaming months for games that I probably would not buy otherwise. The pricing is attractive.

I absolutely can't stand paying $10 a game at Blockbuster, drastically overpriced.

I've heard from several people that it's next to impossible to get new releases/hot titles for a month or longer at times. Anyone else have any experience that refutes this?

I wouldn't mind trying this service out, but if I'm constanly only getting my #8/9/10, it would definitely not be worth the money.

You also have a game que, like at Netflix (makes sense since they are the same company), and you can move games around. There's also an availibility meter and if the first game on your que is "Low", they will move down the list to your next one, and so on. So needless to say (but I'm saying it anyways) take the time to put together your que if/when you sign up.

Also, over time you accumulate GameFly Reward Points which you can use to buy games. You can also buy games from them at slightly under store value prices. When you have a game out for a few weeks and don't return it, you can go to your que and see "Want to Buy This Game?" and if you say yes, your credit card is billed and they will then send you the case and booklet.

You can also trade in games for Reward Points, which is new.
