LOL @ Two Worlds being $8.99
I would so bite on SEGA Rally for 17.99(10% GF member bonus) but there is no way to look at the condition of the disc before they send it. And let me tell you A lot of times older games from GF are seriously fucked up.

$17.99 for The Bigs on the 360...Does anybody else know where they can find it around this price or even a little bit higher new?

12-24-2007, 12:17 AM
Yeah I like to use the keep it sometimes when I have bonus dollars since I already have the disc and know the exact condition. I rented an older ps2 game once and i swore the disc had been through a war. I'm considering Forza 2 though since I played if for a week and liked it but don't know if its worth keeping.

12-24-2007, 12:21 AM
Yeah, some older discs from GF can really be banged up, unfortunately. I have a Dead Rising disc I just rented, and it looks like absolute crap. But it still works perfectly.

FYI, It's been my experience that it takes quite a while before they ship the games, during these sales. For me, they were all shipped together in a single box a couple of weeks after I had ordered them.

That makes no sense. Sega Rally just recently came out. You said older games look like ass. Sega Rally = Newer Game. Unless by old game you mean a game that was just released within 2 months?:-s

None that I know of. The 10% off that a lot of people have is a result of 12 months of membership. 6 months gets 5% off.

when you buy games from them, do they come with case and manual? or is it just a disc in an envelope....
The BIGS is tempting at $18, along with a couple other things.

Yes, the games come with a new case and new manual. It says so right above the platform selection and below the free shipping offer.

Trying to decide what system to get Sega Rally on. If there are still people playing it on the PS3 I'd go for that, but if not I want the 360 version...assuming people play on Live. Wish there was a way to check.

The only ones i'm tempted on are Two Worlds, Bullet Witch, Vampire Rain and History Channel: Civil War. But I know in a year, I could probably pick all four up for like $10. So I think i'll hold off. Great deals on some games that I already have though.
MLB 2K7 is pretty sick for $10. I might bite on that. That game's perfect for testing out HD settings.

Do you like frantic FPS action? If you do, then yes, absolutely. I picked it up and loved it. RPGish elements with FPS.. I loved being a sniper and using teleport, i'd be on top of a building sniping, i'd have someone start shooting at me, i'd teleport through the floor and onto the floor below me, find a window, and snipe the guy. It was awesome.
FireUltima
12-24-2007, 04:37 AM
Thanks OP! Some great deals here. I'm probably going to pick up Tenchu Z, and if it comes back up, Crackdown.
EDIT: And then I find out about Amazon's DOTD, $15 Crackdown deal

Just for the record, I have been a member of Gamefly for a year now. I have bought about 5 games from them. All have been in excellent condition. The case and manual looked brand new. I think the games they sell used are in better condition than the games they sometimes ship as rentals. (although my rentals have been very good too)

Odin Sphere [PS2] for $19 (ouch, I hope it's good).

I know I'm going to regret it, but I bought Two Worlds and BulletWitch for $14.95 in total (used a $5 GF Coupon on BulletWitch).
I already know Two Worlds is horrible, but for some reason, despite that, seeing it for $10 makes me want to give it another chance, and if it's still as horrible as I remember, I can pass it up as a late Christmas present to someone, haha.

That makes no sense. Sega Rally just recently came out. You said older games look like ass. Sega Rally = Newer Game. Unless by old game you mean a game that was just released within 2 months?:-s
I know SEGA Rally is not really "old" But by rental standards it does not matter
What I meant was that unless you get a copy of a game within the first 2 or 3 weeks of release, there is a very good chance that it is going to be scratched to hell.
See, the way I rent my Gamefly games is I send a game back well in advance so that when a New release hits, they send it right out. That way I get a day one copy that is in almost perfect condition. I only use their keep it system if the disc is near perfect.

I don't know I rented Heavenly Sword at the beginning of December and it was like brand new (the disc).
I think there's variables. The older the game, the more of a chance its beat up. The more wanted the game, the bigger chance its beat up. Then you have to look at the system. PS2 games have the highest chance probably of being beat up because its install base is the largest and has likely the most rentals. Now switch that over to the 360 and I believe they have the most rentals probably on GF, so the 360 discs out of the new-generation probably have a higher chance of being beaten up. Then look at that install base, PS2 owners range all over the map, there's also a lot of younger 360 users. The PS3 probably has the oldest install base, so it's more than likely PS3 games will be in better condition on average than any other platform on there.

FYI make sure your address/CC info is correct on account, I had an old account with Gamefly that has a PO box for shipping, and another CC that I didn't want to use, but it didn't give me any options to change it, and instead just charged it right away. Anyone know if I can cancel the order in the account, or do I have to call them?

Odin Sphere is my personal PS2 GOTY--beautiful art style, solid gameplay, and one of the most unique stories (as well as unique means of telling a story) in years... Upscaled on the PS3, it's one of the best looking 2d games ever, IMO.

I'm thinking I might pick up Samurai Warriors 2 for $14, maybe even bite on Spiderman 3 for $10.
Some nice deals there really. Since I needed to expand my Xbox 360 collection anyway, I picked up Bullet Witch, Spiderman 3, Armored Core 4, and since I missed out on it in BOTH of CC's sales, Call of Juarez. All rather distinctly average games really (except for CoJ which was well received), but I've actually gotten some enjoyment from the generic action games like those, so I'll give it a try.
Haven't played any of the Spiderman movie games, so I figure I'll be able to put up with Spiderman 3 since it's supposed to be a lot like 2, and I thought the demo of Armored Core 4 was pretty decent. Bullet Witch...ehh, looks like a poor man's Devil May Cry, but I'll give it a shot since the spells are supposed to be pretty cool and the basic gunplay looks fun enough (even if the AI and enemies are supposed to be pretty lackluster).
Although after playing the demo, I think I'll return Superman Returns that I had gotten from Target for $10. I really can't see myself putting up with that game for long if the flying is really the most entertaining part of the game. The games I'm getting from Gamefly sound repetative too, but Superman Returns just felt clunky and stale.

In for a bunch of shitty-to-mediocre 360 games. Vampire Rain, Two Worlds, Bullet Witch, Battlestations Midway, Def Jam Icon, NBA Street Homecourt & GRAW2.
I have to say, I was a little worried though when reading the first couple responses about the quality of the game discs (I had already placed the orders by then), especially since every other time GF has had a sale like this, almost everybody was going on and on about how they were the only place to buy used games from because the games always worked and the cases/manuals were always pristine. I guess if any of the games are fucked though I can at least get my money back, according to their guarantee.

Just bought Two Worlds. I hope it's decent. I'm sick of people comparing it to Oblivion just like they compared Gothic II to Morrowind. Just because it's a fantasy action rpg doesn't mean it's going for the same kind of gameplay that the Elder Scrolls is going for.
Anywho, I didn't think that the DS titles were that marked down compared to the 360 games which were much cheaper in general. I suppose it's because the DS prints money and all.

DS and GBA games tend to hold their value. I was initially shocked when I bought a DS and had to spend over $15 for a good game (I'd been buying a lot of cheapo Xbox titles at the time).
I was going to say portable games, but I don't follow the PSP at all, so I can't really comment.

I think it's PSP games, too. Portable games in general never go down in price. They seem to disappear from store shelves faster, so that's probably why.

Gamefly would be doing everyone a favor by creating a storefront that made multiple purchases a streamlined process. I can assure you i would have purchased more stuff but didn't feel like buying a dozen individual items. Well that and my credit card company probably would have put a stop on my card if I had done that.

As much as people have complained about this, it doesn't really bother me. Sure, it'd be easier if they had the typical cart-based checkout system, but as it is, it really doesn't take that long once you have an account.

Anybody know why Gamefly charges sales tax for sales from states where they have no physical presence? According to Wikipedia they have warehouses in California, Flordia, and Pennsylvania. I live in Arkansas and they always charge sales tax.
Now with these prices and free shipping they're still lower than everybody else, it just seems weird. No tax is a big advantage for online retailers and they usually go to great lengths to avoid having to charge it.

My games came today and I'm actually really disappointed. I've ordered from Gamefly several times in the past with no problems, but this time...
The Darkness came in a case that was busted on the front and busted inside, so the disc was just flopping around in the case.
Call of Juarez was in great condition.
Here's my biggest thing:
I ordered MLB 2K7. When I opened the envelope, I was greeted with the site of a F.E.A.R. box. I opened it up, and it also included the F.E.A.R. manual, but had my baseball game inside of it. Pretty weird.

Well I havent gotten it yet so I can't realy agree with them, but from what I've seen the combat system is what I wanted the first Bushido Blade to be closer to. There is more contact and push pull with the swords, parries etc rather than just block button.
If you're a fighting game/martial arts nerd and are constantly looking for the evolution of these, then this is a pretty cool step on the way and for that price, can't complain

Contact them and tell them your issue. For me personally they are notorious for sending me broken cases after I buy the game. Use the contact button and just say you received the case and it was broken. As for the other issue, sounds wierd but I'd go ahead and mention that too.

I can't imagine this game rented well considering how badly it got panned and when it released. Sounds like you might have lucked out and got a brand new copy. GF probably bought a bunch and then when the reviews started hitting realized they had too many, no wonder its down to 9.99 used already.

I thought they opened one up in Tampa.
They did, but not all distribution centers have all titles, additionally I'm assuming used titles will ship from whatever warehouse had them, likely the City of Industry location.
Picked up The Darkness for the 360, hope it comes in quick-ish.

The Darkness came, took about a week, but I've got to say the condition is perfect. The case and manual are flawless and looks brand new, it even had the protective sticker over the case opening. The disc itself has a few minor scratches but it looks nothing short of what you'd expect from a used game. I'll try it out soon but I'm pretty sure it's going to work.
This is my first time ordering a game via GameFly and I am pretty pleased, no shipping, cheap prices, and a fast delivery time.

I ordered two worlds the first day of the sale. Got it last week on Weds. Looks like it was never ever played.
Oh and the game is so bad it's kind of funny. Like watching a bad kung fu movie dubbed in english.

You can't. You just have to place all the orders one by one. A little inconvient, but after the first order it gets a lot quicker.

I just ordered Two Worlds and Darkness to pop my flipping cherry.
Hope they come in time before they adjust the prices.

Ordered Winning 11 2007 and Tiger Woods 2007 for 360 on 12/25 and got them on 12/31. The discs play just fine and the cases and manuals appeared unused and like-new. I'm very happy with the deal.
I also signed up for Gamefly and got a $10 credit towards a future game purchase, which was pretty sweet.
Interestingly, the games I bought arrived before the rentals I signed up for at the same time!

I've never ordered from GameFly before - what a FRUSTRATING experience. I was actually thinking of joining the service but after this experience - no way. I ordered one game a week ago and prceeded to get a flurry of emails about my "Membership" requiring the proper Zip+4 zip. I gave them a normal five digit zip like I give every other online vendor. They sent me an email saying I had to go to the USPS site to figure out the right Zip+4 myself and email them back. Of course, every correspondence with them has a two day lag. Finally, after making me do all the work, my "Membership" is active (I just ordered a game...) and my order status stands as "To be Bought" (whatever that means...)
Not a good experience for me.

Just got Odin Sphere and Two Worlds - games were so-so condition. I haven't tried Two Worlds yet, but it looked pretty scratched up (including a small chunk taken out of the outer rim of the disc).
Well, you get what you pay for I guess.

I received Two-Worlds in pretty decent condition and it has been an extremely pleasant surprise...in fact, I haven't played anything else (COD, Mass Effect) since it arrived last Saturday.
I liked it so much, I ordered another copy for my nephew and had it sent to his part of the States.
I wish I would have pulled the trigger on MLB2K7....but oh well.
Using Google checkout was a breeze.
I am excited that I now have a new option for used game purchases.

Man that's a real what-the-hell sort of experience. ZIP+4?!?!

I had a similar experience with their address validator. I live in an apartment complex with 3 units, and when I ordered a game, the validator stripped the apartment number from my address. I tried re-enter the address several times, and it wouldn't let me include the apartment number. I finally had to email them and have them fix it from their end.

wow...fired up Two Worlds this morning...and let me say that I'm now enjoying the Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Dreamfall, and Clock Tower 3 I traded it for.
I had heard that a patch had fixed some of Two World's problems...but I couldn't see it. Just not good at all.

I got a $10 credit, I guess, because I wasn't a Gamefly subscriber and when I purchased the 1st game an ad on the right side said I'd get $10 towards a future puchase if I signed up now. I did that and got a $10 coupon code added to my account.

I received my two games yesterday. Dawn Of Mana had the disc loose, BUT somehow survived and looked immaculate. I wasn't so lucky with Shining Force EXA. Pretty scratched up disc, but I'm gonna test it out and see if it plays ok.

To offer a contrary opinion, I finally booted up Two Worlds last night... and have already put a good four or five hours into it. The core RPG elements are great IMO, and I love being able to stack weapons. It almost feels like a traditional hack and slash transposed into an Oblivion style world. If you're the type who enjoys hunting for loot in RPGs and can overlook some technical short comings (which really don't seem that bad to me... but maybe that's because I'm coming fresh off of Mass Effect), there's a very enjoyable game to be found here.

Agreed, I was pleasently surprised to have fun with this game that people were ripping on unmercifully. But I've always liked games that the norn didn't. Echo Night and Bullet Witch come to mind very quickly.

I love Bullet Witch and quite a few out of the 'norm' and considered "good" games. It just all felt really clumsy to me and couldn't help thinking I could be playing something much better.

Spitefire I ordered the games at the same time I live on the east coast. In PA where a shipping center for Gamefly is I have yet to recieve either one.
It is pretty bad service when you get two items from other companies that were suppose to take 8-14 days to ship and arrive, Before i even got one game from gamefly.

I just received my order, which shipped 12/26/07, yesterday.Their service is way too slow for me, and that is why I canx my membership in its trial phase. 8-10 days to receive a game from them + 8-10 days for them to receive a game from me was not worth my money. BTW the game I purchased came with a crused game case (broke the CD spindle area that holds the game). Their packaging leaves a lot to be desired.

Out of curiosity, how long did you play before you gave up? I was only mildly enjoying it for the first two and a half hours, but then it finally clicked and am now actually addicted to the darn thing :(

The first of my five just arrived and... when they said "includes box and manual" they meant ANY box and manual? I probably wouldn't have bought this copy of The Darkness if I knew it was coming in a Two Worlds case with an unrelated manual.
I know it was only ten bucks, but do I have a right to complain to GameFly? God forbid I actually get the materials that correspond to the game I ordered.

Anyone get their copy of Odin Sphere yet? It looked like a good disc. I put it in and it makes my ps2 click like the beginnings of a DRE error. I put in ICO to check and it and ICO plays fine. I tried the toothpaste trick to try to fix the straches but that didn't work. Anyone think I'd be able to return it and get another copy?
