Gamefly Review

Update: June 6th, 2009

GameFly is the most renowned online video game rental service on the Internet. Having over 6000 games on nine major gaming consoles that consist of the seventh generation consoles such as PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii, GameFly is the preferred choice of a majority of the avid gamers. Each platform of games at GameFly includes several pages of games and each search category has numerous game options. GameFly also carries game titles for all chief handheld systems such as GameBoy Advance, Nintendo DS and PlayStation PSP. From GameFly, you can even buy or get PSP movies on rent. All these and more made us go for Gamefly review and analyze how this online game rental service works.



At GameFly, you will find screenshots, explanations, cheats, reviews as well as videos of individual games. If you want to buy games at a discounted rate, GameFly has the perfect plans for you. You can test the service of GameFly by opting for the free trial period. For getting a single game on rent at a time, you will need to pay $15.95 a month. The cost of renting 2 games at a time is $22.95 (in addition to tax that’s applicable). With shipping centers in Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Austin and Tampa, a game is generally delivered within two to three days. However, it may take up to a week to deliver games between returns. GameFly has a speedy return option that enables gamers to have their subsequent game shipped ahead of the official return of the title to the distribution center. This system allows quicker turnover times as compared to other online video game rental services.



If you want to exercise control over your kids’ gaming habits, GameFly is the ideal choice as it offers parental controls. If you are a credit card holder, you can prevent some particular games from being rented depending on the games’ ESRB rating. You can even block getting PSP movies on rent depending on MPAA rating. Once you activate the parental control feature, GameFly blocks your kids’ ability to add restricted movies and games to his/her Game Q. Your kid would not be allowed to read the user reviews of restricted games. A password would be necessary to modify or alter the account settings and buy games.



This and much more make GameFly the undisputed leader among online video game rental services. Our GameFly review has found the following things:
