Brehs put me up on gamefly and your experiences with the service...I decided to quit buying any and every game but instead rent them and if I like them buy them rather than having a backlog of shyt I ain't playing.

Its only worth it if you like playing many games.

I have a subscription which I activate from time to time (usually on offers) to rent games I want to check out, but not necessarily buy.

I can rent and usually finish anywhere from 5-6 games per month on my vita with their service.

If u rent and want to purchase all games drop to 44.99 once you get them. Ice never had a problem you have to know a couple tricks to ensure getting games on release though.

For 1 I only have games in my q that aren't out and I make sure the week before I have a free slot so if they receive my game on Friday I'm good for the release day shipping on Monday.

1 thing I just learned is to put all future releases in your game q because they base who they ship to off of who had the game in there q longer.

always rent 2 games at a time. you beat 1, send it back then play the other and rinse, repeat.byou'll keep a solid flow going.

always check your email. they'll do some crazy deals to bring you back a few times a year.

be diverse with your game collection. they can be pretty random with your GameQ.

You could "rent" from Gamestop seeing that you get a full refund on used games within 7 days of purchase. It's not illegal, just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane

My friend out here does the same thing all the time. They just laugh at him when he comes into the store now

I had a month trial mainly cause I wanted to play MGZ:gz but it was low the entire time so I never got it. Shipping sucks for my city took like four to five days to get the games that were available. Might look back into it when more next gen games drop but I think redbox is better for me once they add next gen.

Shipping took
Forever did the 30day trial. Absolutely hated how long shipping took. I cancelled it for that reason alone. I rented infamous and then madden. Both took a week n a half to get to me and I'm in Miami.

I have given gamefly some thought in the past but if they taking this long for the games to ship, then it definitely not worth it.

Gamefly is apparently known to throttle...I have never personally had this issue, but this is probably because I am always considered a new member :lolbron:

it's good if you want to play everything

for ps3 i had about 15-20 games i bought... realistically.. i should have bought about 2-3.

but i got a 360 late in the game.. i was able to play damn near every single exclusive and good to barely interesting title i've ever wanted to... saved me on buying about 90% of them, cause most were boring after you beat it

and at this point, whenever i find something that would cause me to play it forever.. i get the used price, plus $5 off for being such a long member

the wait times do suck.. but that's why you rent 2-3 at a time.. and some games you'll get.. be like i'm glad this shyt was a rental, and send back the same day.. saving you about 60 bucks... or you beat it, realize you wouldn't pay 60 to beat it again.. and send that shyt back
