What is Gamefly
Gamelfy, the ultimate video game rental service. The basics...Gamefly is an online video game rental service. Like Netflix but insted of DVD they rent games for all major systems (xbox, ps3, wii, ds, psp, etc.) through the mail. They send you the game in a mailer which you receive in 2-4 days.
The subscriber then can keep the games for as long as desired while paying the monthly fee, although the number of games is limited by the type of subscription plan chosen by the subscriber. Additionally, the user can create a queue, known as the "GameQ", of up to 50 games.
Upon returning the game to a GameFly distribution center, GameFly automatically ships out the next game in the "GameQ", making the process cyclical for as long as the user is a subscriber and updates his or her "GameQ".

GameFly.com is the solution to paying $60 for every video game you want to play. It also puts my local video stores selection to shame. They have the largest game library available, and always new games the day of their release. No late fees. No due dates. Some Gamefly Benefits:
  • Saves Money....For example....If you want to play 2 new games a month. That would cost you over $120/month to buy them. If you rent from a local store for the whole month it's at least $35.
  • Pre-Played Games....Subscribers can also purchase selected pre-played games at a reduced price should they choose to keep the game, in which case the jacket and instruction booklet will be subsequently mailed to them. Non-subscribers may also buy games, though not at a discounted price afforded to subscribers.
  • Gamefly Rewards...Subscribers earn points towards game discounts and membership.
  • Gamefly Tunes...new service offers drm-free mp3 songs from major artists. Updated frequently they are free for subscribers.
  • Parental Controls...a safety net for parents. Allows you to limit the game rating (ESRB) that can be rented from the account.
