subject: Gamefly User Review: [print this page] Gamefly User Review: Gamefly is a very popular video game rental service that has pretty much turned thevideogame industry upside down. For years now,videogame makers have been able to create incredible revenue source from video gamers making purchases of games, burning through those games, and then moving onto the next. Some movie rental companies like Blockbuster and what have you tried to get into thevideogame rental business, but unfortunately were not able to do all that well because of the way they were set up in retail locations. Retail is dying as a result of substantial growth in the online marketplace, and one can only look toNetflix to see the giant market share that an online rental company can create.
As thisGamefly user review goes, the advantages to creating a membership atGamefly mean that you can more efficiently spend money and enjoy entertainment. This also a great gift to give people, particularly parents to children. One of the advantages of giving this gift is that parents are able to decide which sort of a game rating they want their children to enjoy. As we all know, many ofvideogames on the market these days are getting more and morerisqu, and as a result, you can imagine the parent wouldn't mind applying the rating block.
Of course, if you are an adult, this is the feature that's not necessarily for you. Another reason I am an advocate ofGamefly is that when I went back and looked at my subscription fee for six months, and then compared the subscription fee to myvideogame purchase costs the prior six-month period, I realized that I'd saved nearly $700. This may not be a lot of money to some of you, but for me it was two months of a car payments and car insurance. And at the end of the day, I was able to enjoy more ofvideogames via rental than I ever would've been able to bring that same stretch to purchases. Realize this: when you makevideogame purchase there is a lot of questioning as to whether or not purchase is a value; when you make avideogame rental, the expense is not an issue, so to speak, and as a result you are able to test more games. The last feature that I like about Game Fly is this: it is really easy, just as it is withNetflix, to either change your subscription or cancel. They do phenomenal business, and as a result, are not necessarily out for every single dollar in your wallet. They do plenty well with or without you, so you don't have to worry about some of the more dicey subscription approach is that some Internet companies seem to come up with.
