Talk › Gamefly › How good is gamefly? Is it worth the money?

Sort of wondering, myself. I am impressed that they carry not just disc but cartridge games. I sort of feel like they should get together with Steam, though, and maybe Good Old Games, to build a more complete, more accessible sort of archive.

I think it's worth it, especially for those games that are...uh, let's just say, games that you would probably stab yourself for buying for $60 when they come out. (Fallout New Vegas, I am looking at you!) And for shorter games, it's ideal.

I had this question and came to the following reasons for signing up for it: I'm someone who is not currently in the mood for long term games (RPGs, racing, fighting games). I'm now in more for the short storyline games like Ratchet and Clank and once I'm done with those type of games I just want to move onto another.

Now if I were not gamefly member I would be buying games so much it would be a waste for my money and instead renting games then make it easier.

But if you're someone who doesn't really have the time to sit down and play games or is someone who likes to take their time with a game I say get the game itself. Because you may pay $15~ each month but when you don't play the game and keep it in the end you might as well have bought the game for the membership price you're paying.

So yes ask yourself those two main question: will I have time to play it frequently? What type of game do I enjoy.

Good luck :) and you can cancel your membership anytime. It's not annually but rather monthly so no contract and etc. Try it out first if you want. It's only 50% of the real membership price too :)
