6 Reasons Gamers Need Gamefly
How many times has your child asked for a game that they MUST have, only to find out that they play it for an hour and hate it?
What about the child who finishes a game in a weekend and then never plays it again?
Both of these problems can be solved with Gamefly, which is an online rental service that works like Netflix where you can rent games and keep them for as long as you wish. At any point, you can buy the game from them at a discounted price.
Gamefly is a pretty awesome service that we use for our rentals, but here are the top six reasons you should consider subscribing to the service if you have gamers in your family.
1 – Game Catalog
GameFly has a comprehensive library of over 7,000 titles covering all major video game and handheld game consoles. Their library contains numerous copies of popular new releases, as well as many older ‘‘back-catalog’’ games that are generally less accessible in most video game rental and retail stores.
2 – They Support Most Gaming Platforms
All of the major gaming consoles are supported. GameFly offers games for PlayStation®3™, PlayStation®2, PSP™, XBOX 360™, XBOX™, Wii™, GC™, DS™ and Game Boy® Advance consoles. Most gamers have multiple gaming devices so this is a huge benefit.
3 – Their Awesome Rewards Program
The longer you are a member with GameFly, the more benefits you receive. You will earn bigger discounts on games, and earn GameFly dollars that you can use toward the purchase of games. This is helpful when your child finds a game they love and you want to buy it. The GameFly dollars will make the games cheaper to buy.
4 – Cost Savings, Never Pay Retail Again!
Thanks to the reward program I just mentioned, you never have to worry about paying full retail price for a game again. While you may be buying the game used you will be given the chance to play it first. Once you decide to buy it, GameFly will ship you the case and manual for free.
5 – Quick Turn Around Time
With 4 shipping centers across the nation, the shipping time is pretty quick. They also have FastReturn that allows them to get a notification from USPS when a game is coming back, and they will ship the next game in your Q.
6 – They Offer a 1 Month Free Trial
Make sure you visit Gamefly to sign up for their free one month trail. This will give you enough time to try out their service to see how it works.
