subject: This dad is tired of buying video games [print this page] As a father of 3 kids that are avid gamers for 10 years now I could not tell you how many games that we have bought and hated only to resell on ebay or craigslist to recoup the cost. In early 2009 after we purchased the Wii console system we decided to give Gamefly a try as we had been seeing the TV commercials for quite some time. And we have not cancelled our membership since. All those years paying $50 for a game from walmart or target or best buy only to play it once and not like it and not able to return it. Video Game Rentals Delivered. Start for only $8.95. We currently have a PS2 and a Wii console system that we rent games from Gamefly for. There have been times that we have kept a game for a day and their have been times that we have kept a game for a couple of months. We have even kept a game or 2 or 3 which Gamefly makes really easy to do as they will just charge your credit card on file and you just keep it. I really wish that we had started with Gamefly years ago. With a choice of more than 7,000 titles, GameFly delivers the widest selection and availability of games for the Playstation 3, Playstation 2, PSP, Xbox 360, Xbox, Wii, GameCube, Nintendo DS and GameBoy Advance without the hassle of due dates or late fees. You can't really beat that. I suggest taking advantage of the free trial. You can even trade in games and get , what I think is an honest trade value. Register for GameFly GameFly offers four different membership plans 2-Game Plan ( most popular plan) - Two games out at a time $22.95/month + applicable tax 1-Game Plan - One game out at a time $15.95/month + applicable tax 3-Game Plan (requires an active account in good standing for at least 60 days) - Three games out at a time $29.95/month + applicable tax 4-Game Plan (requires an active account in good standing for at least 60 days) - Four games out at a time $36.95/month + applicable tax And they do not charge any shipping, its all included. We take advantage of 2 games out at a time as we just have the 2 little kids left at home. It's great if they don't like the game we return it and a few days later we get another. And if you have a son like mine in which he will play a game that he likes until he beats it, you can keep it out until he beats it then get another. We have kept a few games from them as some games you can really play over and over and not get tired. Another benefit to Gamefly are the GameFly Rewards program, the longer you're a GameFly member, the more Rewards I automatically receive. I earn benefits for every 3 consecutive months that I rent from GameFly, including GameFly Dollars and percent-off discounts that I can use to save on Buys and Keeps of used games. The Benefits: Level 1: 5 GameFly Dollars Level 2: 5 GameFly Dollars and 5% off used game purchases Level 3: 5 GameFly Dollars and 10% off used game purchases Another important aspect of Gamefly is that they do not hold their members responsible for a game that has been lost or delayed in the mail. They do request to wait at least seven shipping days before reporting any type of a shipping problem. If they have not received a game and it's more than seven days after the Ship Date or if I haven't received an email confirming their receipt of a game I returned more than seven days prior, you go to Report A Shipping Problem and select Game never arrived or GameFly never received my return. They'll note in your account that the game has been lost in the mail. The only real bummer is that the games do not come with instructions, but that has not been a problem with us as they post the game controls on their website and if you buy a game they will send the booklet to you. Honestly what are you waiting for? Just click and give it a try ! Video Game Rentals Delivered. Start for only $8.95.
