GameFly

What GameFly is

GameFly is a disc rental service for console games and movies. Members select titles online and receive them by mail, with USPS shipping both ways in reusable mailers. Rentals can be kept without late fees. Most rented games and movies can also be purchased at a discounted KEEP price; game purchases include the original case and codes. Its game catalog includes Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo Switch and older-platform titles. Movies are available on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD discs. Game plans include movies, and movie-only plans are also available.

The 1-Game Plan costs $19.95 a month after a free 30-day trial, plus applicable sales tax. It allows one game at a time, includes games and movies, and can be cancelled anytime. Standard and Elite plans let members reserve upcoming releases for guaranteed launch-day shipment, with reservation windows opening 30 days ahead for Standard and 7 days ahead for Elite. Active members earn 5 GameFly Dollars every three months, monthly 5–10% coupons for accessories and collectibles, and a 25% Keep coupon every six months. GameFly estimates USPS delivery at 2–8 business days within the United States. Members can manage cancellation through account settings and should return outstanding rentals promptly.

Verdict
