Im not really sure what Fernando would like. Is there a DS game where someone takes a crap on a PS3?

ROFL +1

But seriously, try Hey Arnold or something. My niece-in-laws like that game.

@Phranctoast

That was just unnecessary.

Get her Duck Amuck.... :DDDDD

thats a VERY good point

I can understand your point. But I have purchased many games via GameFly and many times I can hardly see a single scratch on the disc. I have never had a problem with a single game I have purchased.

I also usually see better prices via GameFly than I do at GameStop.

Yeah, EXCEPT, as noted, GameFly used game discs are generally in great condition, and the box/manual are in PRISTINE, NEW condition, at a better price to boot, as opposed to the case sitting on the shelf with a sticker on them.

Well, that's good to hear, re: the scratches. But I still think it's a bit of a ripoff. After all, Gamestop buys their used games from consumers (I dunno if they give a fair price, or not. That's outside the scope of the arguement) whereas Gamefly's probably made at least twice what the game cost in rental fees off of any game they sell. yet, the game I'm interested in (Hoshigami) is only 3 bucks less expensive at Gamefly than at Gamestop. So much for "steep discount"

Chad you mentioned fair price on trade in's. The answer is a massive NO. They rip people off on the trade in value.

As for pricing. One advantage on being a member is that you get a discount on the everyday pricing. After 3 months (I think) you save 5%. Sure it's usually a couple of cents off. After a year you get 10% off. You also receive a $5 off coupon once a quarter to use on Used Game purchases. So there is added savings there.

And, as always, free shipping.

The thing about GameFly is that they aren't collecting rental "fees": the game you buy may have been sent out to 30 different people in the last year, or maybe it just went to one guy's house where it sat on the shelf for 12 months and then he finally remembered that he had it and sent it back. I suppose they have some method of estimating income based on memberships and games checked out, but there isn't a direct relationship there.

I've been a member for almost two years; when I buy used games, they're typically games I've rented. I just pay the "keep it" price and they send the box and manual. That way I already know the quality of the disc and whether or not I like the game.

If you buy one sight unseen, then it's not dissimilar to buying a DVD from a movie-rental place. (Not that kind of place - that's a completely different story.) As long as there's a guarantee, it's worth a shot if you don't mind used games.

I prefer to buy used games, unless it's something I really want at launch, or unless I panic because I'm exchanging gifts in a couple of days and there's no parking around the good used-games store and I just want to get away from the insane people and the insane traffic.

My experience is that the games are cheaper, they are in better shape, and I get the box and manual, both of which are very important to me. In buying used I definitely would pick GameFly over GameStop if they both had the same games available. Of course, they rarely do have the same games available, so I shop both...but regardless I refuse to buy at GameStop unless I get original box and manual.

I dont see why you have a problem with this. If the games still have a market value, then what is the problem with them selling them to you? You cant expect them to suddenly say they will give the games away for free just because they had made money off renting them.

I just bought 3 games for the 360 from them a sec ago, and the total was about $35.00 - last I checked, that is about 50% off of one game (yet I got 3!) - so I think its a pretty darn good deal and maybe you should get over the need to bitch and moan and just take a good deal when it shows itself.

you can get that new for that price.

It's really not that much of difference. I remember buying Odin Sphere from them for about $25 (free ship) a few months ago. But yes, it's an awesome price for an awesome game.

Oh man, it's bad. Trust me. It's REAL bad.

god dammit

I think you're right - the price shown is the base price, total would be with tax and (for non-members) shipping. Also, members' loyalty rewards ($5 off, if you haven't used it yet, and 5%/10% off) are applied on checkout.

I picked up All-Pro Football for $4.23. I figure it's not bad for a game with no career mode. If it sucks, well, I'm out less than $5.
