The day Gamefly redeemed themselves

And made me feel special ! I was expecting to have to buy SFIV in a couple days. Never has gamefly sent lowly me a NEW release  with in mere days of its dropping. They say every dog has his day...and today my friends .... was the day that this dog had that day.

Well its still going to be next week till it actually arrives , maybe saturday it will arrive in the mail if im lucky. I'm keeping this though.

you have to keep less games on your queue when you really want a new release. Do one of two things. Keep your games below 10, and make them all new releases or games you want to play at least almost as much as the game you want. Then you have to send back games strategically. Since you're on a 4 game plan, send back 1 or 2 games every day for the 2 days 3 days before the launch of the game you want.

That way, they should get the games the day before/day of the release of the new game, and you'll have 4 slots to fill.

I have a 2 game plan, and I do this all the time and get new releases. You just have to make sure to plan for them. I suppose SFIV might have a bigger shipment, because I got it already and it wasn't even at the top of my list.

I am slowly learning the strategy. Snoop of the forums told me this too. It came today and WTF is up with the pop intro song...this does not sound like it should be in SF soundtrack at all let alone be the intro...sheesh.

Thanks 4 the tip yo. I was just treating it like netflix I throw hundreds in there and get whatever , whenever. This gamefly Q seems to require a bit o the finesse, Noted.

15 bucks a month is very pricy imo and with KZ2 and SF4 now in my collection I don't see myself playing anything else for a minute. Was okay while it lasted though. Gratz on receiving SF4 early than you thought.

The rewards make it worth it for me at this point since I can own a 60 dollar game for $40 bucks or less depending on how much reward points I have at the time. I did not like it at first though almost cancelled.

Used games are cheap in the store and shippings always free. Still for games like KZ2 I go into retail.

how does gamefly work?

if you keep the game, do they ship it a PS3/360 game casing with the artwork in the front, or just a standard gamefly slip/box?

INehalemEXI6292d ago (Edited 6292d ago )

they ship the original case w/artwork and manual. If you keep it, It comes in a gamefly sleeve first as a rental.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing19d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit19d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing19d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9219d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
