Endless Selection Of Games
With over 8,000+ selection of console games for PS3, Xbox 360, PS Vita, Wii, 3DS, DS, and more, you will never run out of games to play. Every game for every console you can think of, they will most likely have it in stock and ready to be shipped straight to your house.
Keep The Games You Love
This is one of my favorite features of Gamefly. If you’ve been playing a game you love and want to keep it, Gamefly will sell it to you for a discount. Not only that, but they will send you the game box, covers, manuals and every thing else that came with the game.
No Late Fees With Gamefly
You can play the games for as long as you want with no late fees. It doesn’t matter if you play it for 10 days or 20 days, there will never be a late fee. Never worry about returning your games late again. Just play your game until you get bored with it and ship it back to Gamefly.
Cancel Your Membership Anytime
There are contacts when you sign up for your Gamefly membership which means you can cancel your membership anytime without any fees. Unlike other companies that makes you run through loops just to cancel your membership, Gamefly will easily let you cancel your account without any troubles. There are no fees when you decide to cancel.
Lost Games In The Mail
If a game gets lost in the mail, then report it to Gamefly and they will send a new game in the mail very quick. You won’t get charged for the lost game since it’s not your fault.
Free PC Games With GameFly
The Unlimited PC Play is a new feature from Gamefly which was launched in 2011 that allows members to play as many PC titles as they want…free of charge. Yup, you heard me, it’s totally free. There is no need to change your plans or pay more to get free PC games from Gamefly.

Gamefly Process
The process to renting and returning games with Gamefly is an easy process which usually goes like this:

- Log into your Gamefly account and pick the games you want
- Gamefly rushes to ship you the games. It normally takes two days for the games to get to me. That’s fast shipping!
- You can play the game for as long as you want. You will never pay for late fees with Gamefly.
- You can now decide to return the game back to Gamefly or buy the game for a discounted price. You will never pay for shipping fees. Gamefly comes with envelops with prepaid stamps which you can use to ship back your games. If you decide to buy the game, they will also ship out the manuals, box and anything else that was included with the game to you.
- Now that you have returned your games, you can now repeat steps 1-4 to rent new games.
Final Thoughts On Gamefly
If you are a gamer looking to save money, then Gamefly is a must. Most people would play a game for a couple of days, finish it and never play it again. This is where Gamefly comes in. You can rent as many as two games at a time and play them for as long as you want without any fees. If you fall in love for a game, you can also buy it for a discounted price so you are in a win-win situation either way.

I’ve been a member of Gamefly for 2 months and no problems so far. Large selection of games and fast shipping. I’ve save a ton of money renting games instead of buying games.
