If you are a gamer who loves video games but hates shelling out $60 bucks for a game you will beat in a couple days and never play again, then GameFly is for you. With GameFly, you rent a game and can keep it as long as you want. When you beat the game or tire of it, send it back and get another game. That’s a much cheaper option than buying a handful of new games every month!

GameFly rolled out a competitor to Netflix’s movies in the mail service in 2014.  The advantage to using GameFly over competing services is that you can get the latest video games or movies in the mail as soon as they are released.

For example, you can rent video games with a service like RedBox. But you have to pay each day you have the game. And of course, you have to drive to the RedBox to pick up your movie and return it when you’re done.

So instead of trekking out to the RedBox to pick up and then return your movie, you can have the movie come directly to your home and then mail it back out when you are done.

While the video game and movie selections are pretty extensive, the real treat is that you can get the latest releases mailed right to your door, sometimes even being delivered ON the release date!

How Does GameFly Work?

If you are familiar with the way Netflix used to work back in the days before streaming video then you are going to be right at home with GameFly.

If you never got on the Netflix mail service or do not remember the “good ol’ days” then this is how it works:

1. You pay a monthly subscription fee based on the number of games or movies that you want to have out at the same time.
2. Keep a queue of games that you want to play (or movies you want to watch).  When you send one game/movie back via the provided envelope the next one comes automatically.
3. Keep the games/movies as long as you like.  Only return them when you are done with them.

The games and movies are kept at distribution centers across the country.  When I first started with this type of subscription I found out that I lived within one day of the warehouse.  This meant that when I dropped my game off in the mailbox in the morning, the next game or movie would be back in my mailbox in at most two days.  It made scheduling out the next entertainment much easier.

On average, most games or movies are delivered within two business days.

How Many GameFly Shipping Centers Are There? GameFly currently has four shipping centers, located in Colorado, Florida, Texas, and Pennsylvania. These central locations make it fast and easy for GameFly to ship your next selection!
