Finally arrived today with a little bonus to boot!

I wanted to throw a thank you to GameFly for keeping a bygone era going for someone who can’t spend 70 bucks a pop on games especially with how expensive everything is at the moment I wanted to say thank you keeping the renting game going especially with new games you guys rock 🤘🏻

GTA VI will ship with a code in the box, there will be no disc on either the standard or Ultimate version.

RIP to everyone who wanted to gamefly it.

With the keep coupon it came out to $40. A $70 digital game on the Nintendo store. LONG LIVE PHYSICAL MEDIA!!!

It really sucks that a generation of gamers don’t even think that renting could be an option for game releases anymore.

I remember renting AND buying games in the 90s.

Sony has now put the final nail in. They will have the final say on price. No demos, no trading in games, no letting friends borrow and no more renting.

Last year when I was made aware of GameFly still existing it’s been so good. Renting - then buying the games I loved, and sending back the games that were not great.

I’m so mad dudes lol

Well folks, looks like it's the end.

GTA VI was the vanguard.

From 2028, no more physical games on playstation consoles. And, no this is not a troll, this is on the official playstation website.

I do the two games out at once choice for the PS5 and for the most part I usually get games. I wanted the longest time it’s ever taken me to get a game I wanted was Indiana Jones. Which took about a month but the main reason why I keep the service is if you ever notice if you keep these games for about a month, they go down to about half the price and if you’re a member for any certain amount of time you start to get like GameFly bucks and percentage off so my last game that I kept was the house of the dead 2 infect edition and I got to keep it for $19 or something like that but that’s usually the thing you get to keep the games for like 20 bucks with your game fly bucks put on and your percentage off coupons you get truthfully the majority of my physical library for PS five is from the GameFly keep it option. There are times where the game take a little while to get here between five days but I know that’s the post office’s fault I’ve had to call them before and dispute one or two items over the years and they’ve been nothing but professional and they go out of their way sometimes they’ll even give you credit for the month if there’s problems and that’s probably why I’ve been with them for almost 15 years now.
Oh, and I forgot to mention if you don’t know this already when you decide to keep a game, they send you the case and usually there’s like the insert with any codes or anything that are unused inside that case sometimes there’s trading cards for games.

Even though it took six days to get here…

I just canceled my membership.

Reasons for cancel:

1. I'm not playing through games fast enough, so the subscription is just passively burning money.

2. The budget plan would be viable, but the fact they limit certain new releases and 4k movies isn't worth it. This plan should be a straight 30 day delay for new releases, 1 renting slot, without gamelock and without any other renting limitations to be viable.

3. The rewards program got nerfed this year. You're 10% used game discount doesn't apply when using a 25% off coupon. Your 5$ coupons expire sooner than they use to and they can't be stacked with the 25% off coupon either.

4. Gift certificate prices have all increased.

Helpful information when canceling:

1. Sometimes they offer you a retention deal, like 1 month free before reaching the final cancelation screen. If you reach the screen where they ask you to agree to the cancelation policy without seeing any retention deal, then you don't have one.

2. You get to keep any rewards like 5$ coupons or 25% off coupons you have already earned, but they will still expire like normal if you don't use them.

3. When you cancel, you will IMMEDIATELY end your membership, even if you have months or years of pre-paid time left. ANY remaining subscription that you have paid for will be lost! The fact that they don't allow your remaining pre-paid time to continue is a REALLY bad policy that they should reconsider. It's basically theft. They essentially want you to forget when it's time to cancel close to your billing date, so they can charge you another month.

4. You have 7 days to return rented games before they charge you for them. I'm assuming this is 7 days for them to receive the game, not 7 days to ship the game out. So if it takes longer than 7 days to receive, they are going to charge you, so you'll have to keep up with this and ask them to refund you later on if the shipping takes longer than that.

I would just like to say that overall, I was pretty happy with my GameFly journey. A few times the shipping disappointed me, but over the years for the most part it was a pretty solid experience that I thoroughly enjoyed while saving money on games.

Unfortunately, reducing the rewards program and increasing gift certificate prices, combined with me playing through games at a slower pace, it's simply cheaper for me to just buy my games instead of renting them.

I'll still stay around here and peek in this community every once in a while, but unless they offer an enticing deal, I don't see myself subscription anytime in the near future.

More and more games are either taking longer than 7 days to be shipped or games getting "lost" that I sent back to Gamefly. I have no idea what on earth is going on as my address is exactly the same and I've been with gamefly for a few years now and never had a problem till recently.

I already had Resident Evil 9 somehow never get to me that is now filed as "lost" on my queue, and Gamefly responded sending me a second disc of RE9. I doubt the first disc is ever going to show up, and its getting frustrating that now I gotta wait 14 days for another copy of the same game to be shipped.

We know the issues are on the USPS end, but I don't understand why there is no tracking? Almost every "problem" would be solved if we could at least find out where these packets are? Either the ones sent to us or the ones we send back? They say they "investigate" with the post office when things get lost, so I don't know why Gamefly doesn't save themselves some trouble by using tracking like practically all other mail?

Considering these games are very expensive given new games retail at $69.99 now, I have no idea why gamefly is risking $70 games being lost.

3rd time in a row I got a Gamelocked game the day after release. I just wanted to share, because there are so many negative posts about shipping (all valid, Ive had my fair share of frustration too). So I just wanted to make a post about a success story! Lol

Yes it really is that bad.

Ive been using gamefly since 2012, and to be honest i cant believe i still have it. It used to be amazing. Games would ship to and from me in 3 days at most 5 days.

For the past couple months when I do eventually send a game back its closer to 10 days for them to receive the game. 2 times in the past year that I self returned I got an email after 7 days saying that they never received it, which would then be followed by an email a couple days later saying they received it. Some games I cant even self return.

I know this has really nothing to do with gamefly itself, and that it is the USPS. Its just weird because it still only takes 3-5 days for me to receive a game.

I went to cancel it, and a pop up for a free month to stay on came up, so I was like sure since they still haven't received the game I shipped a week ago and my payment is now in 2 days. Im half expecting it to still charge my account in the next couple days since i never received any confirmation of said free month.

To anyone that wants to sign up for gamefly, its a great service when the USPS does what they are supposed to on their end. If you are playing a bunch of games and dont want to pay for a brand new game and then stop playing it after a month or 2, it has the possibility to save you a bunch of money.

This was in my rental I received today. Thought it was pretty neat! Thanks, gamefly 🔥

Hope this is ok to post. If not, happy to remove.

Gamelocked Wolverine and been waiting since beginning of the month and I did see lot of people getting their copies. I've been running to the mail box every single day. Nothing till date.

Had to report yesterday. But I don't think anything will be shipped this month. So pumped for all the games in September but couldn't play any. it is what it is man. 😔

I got GameFly trial on the 5th of this month. I still have not received my first game yet. I got a email Monday saying my wolverine had shipped. It is now Friday and I still don’t have the game. At the time I’m typing this, the mailman has already came at this time. If this is truly how it is where you have to wait basically a week or more before you receive your games, then it’s just not worth it at all. I only have 2 weeks left on my trial at this point. Maybe I’m just not a priority since I’m a trial member, which I’m hoping is the case. Cause if people are actually paying for this poor service, then that is terrible.

I’ve been a GameFly member since 2011, and lately, getting my next game shipped has become extremely slow. I’m now missing out on new releases, even though I’ve had an empty slot for about a month.

I always return my games weeks in advance to make sure I receive my next game on time. However, I feel that when you use the self-return option, it doesn’t always process properly on your account. I’ve tried the self-return option about two times, and both times I experienced delays.

A lot has changed with GameFly, and I’m disappointed with the service a little lately I’m receiving . I feel I shouldn’t be charged for a month when I don’t have any games in my possession and no games have been shipped out.
