I joined Gamefly, anyone else?
 

It's like Netflix, except for Xbox and other game machines. I got tired of popping $50 for games and only play them for 1/2 hour.

Eric turned me on to it.

Anyone else rent games by mail?

Sounds really cool.. What's the url I didn't even know about the service?

And as for buying games and playing them for only a half an hour, a lot of times you can get new or almost new games on Ebay for like $5-$10, that way if they suck, you haven't lost much ;)

u get turned on by eric?

i just go to blockbuster since its close.. but for u cali guys.. guess it would be better to have it mailed to u.

Nope, don;t have a game machine.

I have looked into, it's pretty useful service but never used it myself.

What is that? Anybody have a link?

They have an affiliate program on CJ.com that pays $7.50 per trial, which isn't bad for the games niche. Converts great (around 1:20 clicks) on my www.videogamerentals.com site which gets a steady trickle of traffic. :thumbsup

Interesting idea, will have too look into it.

EDIT: guess I cant promot it from a blog.

"Operate or utilize a Web site or email link to Web sites that contain or promote any of these types of content: libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic"

i tried them, but since i am on the east coast it took too long to get the games I .It was like 3-5 days to get a new games.It seems they only have one distribution center in California.With Netflix i get my dvds the next day

I know where to find "alternative" or "generic" PS1 games for like $3 in São Paulo :winkwink:

Very cool. Now i can rent games when i win a contest

Gamefly is pretty cool. I used them for a few months and then came across Gamelender. Same deal only more games...like 5000 as opposed to 1500.

http://gamelender.com/

Gamelender is on the east coast. I get games within 2 days or requesting.

nice now i will get less work done then ever

Not only that, but they have a $30 price point that gets you up to 5 games at one time.

*rememberingthelasttimewheniwasplayinggamesbackint heday*

naw... I like to own the games myself cause I often go back and play through them again at a later time. And if there is a game I don't like as much I just use it as trade-in value for a new one.

That combined with a ripper and a modded Xbox have some great possibilities!

Never heard of it ! Thanks for sharing. I have to check it out.

I just picked up a game for my girls with my ce cash point s

hehehe

There is some competition for gamefly....

The company is GameZnFlix (GZFX.OB)
right now the website is Veegeez.com soon to be gameznflix.com

I have 2 million shares at 2.2 cents....right now the stock is around 9 cents....

They are soon to add 4000 titles and another 12,000 titles..

If you are into the stock market and have a few thousand to spare or risk, this would be the stock to look at.

I figure even if it becomes 10% of Netflix, you are looking at a 7 dollar stock (Netflix just split last week)....Look what netflix did in 24 months....

I'll risk 40k+ for a possible return of a few millions.

I use gplay.com. Pretty sweet service

Alex: How long have you had stock in the company? I've got a few g to throw into something right now and might give this one a try.

I bought the stock back in December when its symbol was PGHI

I plan on holding this stock for around 20-24 months

I normally don't play penny stocks but I did the research on this company and spoke to the CEO. The business model is basically the same as Netflix and we all know what that has done in 2 years.

I am not saying or want to even suggest that this is a sure thing as nothing is in the stock market but I just put what I thought I could risk without hurting me if it doesn't pan out.

Right now the stock is .10/share and I bought in at 2.2 cents.

So right now I'm sitting in a good position.

Let me ask you, do you have any knowledge of the stock market?

If so run some charts on it and see what you think.

anyone know of a Canadian based company doing this?

Just a stupid question... Why play on Xbox if you have a PC?

No....it is to cold there...lol

You guys are still trying to figure out how to stay warm in your igloos....

Just msged you on ICQ alex, if you have a few minutes I would like to talk to ya.

i love my modded xbox *hugs it*

its sounds like a great service, i want it now :thumbsup

Who has time for games?

Obviously lensman does :)


I would be interested in this type of thing...

I like games for about a week, and these $80 one week games are lame.
