GameFly – A Win-Win For everybody

Getting your hands on a game could be a tedious process. Browsing countless pages, spending endless hours, and being unsure if you’ll actually get your hands on it can be such a headache. That is why GameFly is just the thing for a person. It’s a game rental service that rents away games and delivers them to your doorstep. It’s very similar to Netflix except that it offers games and not really movies. Takes out all the strain and hassle of driving to a rental place and discovering that the game you want isn’t even available.

As mentioned, GameFly’s focus is online game rental. They offer a wide selection of games, with over 7000 titles to their credit. It’s very easy to utilize their services. Just register and pick your plan and begin to rent! When you gain access to their services, you can browse their selection of games; each game page has its own summary, reviews, and even cheats.

The awesome part from it all is that you can rent game titles you will probably have passed on in favor of another, and use it until you’re tired of it because GameFly doesn’t charge late fees. In fact, as long as your own account is active, you can play the game for as long as you like and mail it in the prepaid envelope provided once you’re done with it.

One of the biggest attractions is how the service provides games for major game consoles such as Xbox, Xbox 360, GameCube, PlayStation 2, Wii, and PS3. You can even rent video games for handheld devices such as Nintendo DS and Playstation PSP. Not bad especially if you have storage problems. Just like Netflix, you can queue your own game rental list, after you finish along with one game, the next one is delivered to you.

The company was founded in 2002 by Sean Spector and Jung Suh. Like many gamers out there, they were frustrated with the lack of rental places for video games. With so many games on the market to try, it was becoming a problem to just buy the games. When they both realized they could rent game titles on their own, they tied up with another founding member, Toby Lenk to form GameFly. With initially 6000 game titles and four distribution centers in California, Pittsburgh, Tampa, and Austin, they are planning to open another distribution center in Seattle this season. The company later on also acquired the gaming and news site Shacknews as well as downloading site, FileShack which will give them a wider audience to reach out to.
