Ah, what the hell, in for 007. I can't resist the COD4 engine any longer. I'm sure I'll get $10 worth of fun out of it.
Resistance 2
007
Hawx
FEAR 2
4 solidly good games for less than the price of one new release. Gamefly, you're killing me. I'm so glad they're back to having a decent sale.

I noticed the site says all sales final for pre-played games. What if it doesn't work? r u screwed......anyone with any experience of this happening?
This happened to me when I bought Army Of Two from them, the center plastic in the disc had cracks so they had me stick it back in the mailer and write "Return to Sender" on it. They give you a credit for the game, so basically you have to buy another game, they won't refund you.
I grabbed Tomb Raider Underworld for $13+ after tax and KOF XII for $26+ after tax & shipping. :)

Nope, the PS3 RE5 has been sold out since yesterday around noon. The 360 version is still in stock, or at least GF wants to sell more of that stock and not putting out the PS3 stock.

tried creating a new account with a different email and to sign up it requires me to selection one of the three options as well. Oh well money saved I guess.

I put in a Buy Alert for when Resistance 2 was instock and never received an email. But when I checked randomly this morning and it was instock and I went for it. So I guess the lesson learned is if anyone has a Buy Alert on GameFly do not trust it and just check back in the morning when it appears they replenish their games for purchase.

I gave up looking for this a loooooong time ago.
Both of my local TRU stores had it in stock, though the one sold out a week or two before the B2G1 and the closest store just sold out of the last one last week during the sale. Of course, I had that copy for about a week or so till I decided I'd probably never play the damn game and figured out the extras were worth bupkiss.
So, I returned it, but I intended on buying it back as one of the three games last week. But I went the second day of the sale and it was LONG GONE.

Yep, bought this at Target on clearance a few weeks back. Didn't know much about it but thought it sounded cool (ahh, I am so smart, judging a game by it's cover). Got home, looked up the reviews, and the next day it went back to Target.

Rentals are sent in sleeves. If you purchase or keep the game, they then send out the case and manual, which are kept in a warehouse after the disc is removed. The case and manual should be in perfect condition, or close to it, when you buy the game.
All right, I'll finally bite on Mirrors Edge for 10.59

I have picked up a few games from GF and the discs, cases, and manuals have been in perfect condition. Plus you have to remember that BDs are ridiculously scratch resistant so as long as you are picking up PS3 games you have little to worry about.

well, they take 1-2 days to ship from their facility, and then the emails say allow 3-5 days for shipping. i think if a week goes by, then call them. 3 days isnt quite long enough

Oh I intend to wait a few more days, but I just have a feeling it won't get here since it's already been longer than it's ever taken (even with this sale). That's not why I asked. The reason I asked was I wanted to know how the customer service was and if they'd give me a hard time because I was reporting a game lost.

Fedex is probably the best mail service out there in my opinion. I know my games were shipped Fedex on the 22d and arrived the 23rd, but in all fairness they were shipped from a facility 4 hours away. Government uses Fedex over their own postal system to send secure documents. Fedex tends to cost more than UPS and USPS, but gets there a bit faster most of the time. I suppose it makes sense for a game rental company to use that service since they want to cycle the games as fast as possible.

I got that too when I went to check out with a copy of WWE Legends Of Wrestlemania for PS3 this morning. After doing the math, I can spend less REAL money just getting it from Blockbuster with some cheap credit I have from a copy of Cranium Kabooki that I traded in for $16.

Are these games in good condition as far as scratches go?Because i am a gamefly subscriber & i read their fine print on how the games are inspected to play, yet the games i receive are always insanely scratched & hiccup through the course of my play through(this goes for recently released games as well, batman and MUA 2 were horrible). I wouldnt mind picking up a few games(halo wars+ resistance 2 specifically) I'm just curious as to whether they maybe buff them when they sell them?
IAmTheCheapestGamer
10-24-2009, 04:06 PM
If they buff the PS3 games, then expect them to scratch even easier than a standard DVD. I've seen a resurfaced Blu-Ray before and even the lightest touch with a cleaning cloth is enough to put more scratches on it after it's been resurfaced.
As for me, if I ordered from them, I'd probably just keep telling them the game won't work until I got a copy that met my standards(scratch free).
That's the only problem with buying ex rental games, is that people treat those games like shit many times, so you're lucky if they even work.

Banjo-Kazooie, Mirror's Edge, TR: U, and X Blades. All were beyond mint, not a single mark on the disc, cases looked like they'd just been opened once to take the game out and that's it. Still had the open Microsoft seal on them.
This has been my experience every time I've bought from Gamefly. Maybe I've just been lucky.

Just received my copy of Halo Wars and I am not a satisfied customer. The disc looks like my dog was chewing on it for a day. I'm going to contact customer support and see if I can get a replacement.
(Box and instructions were in good condition, however.)

I'm really considering Left 4 Dead for :360: and Mirrors Edge for :ps3:.
How is the online community for Left 4 Dead currently? Do you think it will be a waste to buy and I should just wait for L4D2?
L4D community still exists.. for now. I'm not sure if it will survive once L4D2 comes out. You're better off on PC for longer legs for L4D 1 i think. However, if you have a 3 friends that own it on 360 it couldn't hurt to get it.

I got my RE5 for 360 today (USPS From Tampa). The disk is scratched up but the case and booklet are in excellent condition. It installed fine on my HD - so looks like its ok. Decided to get that VS. mode as well since its on sale this week as well.
I went ahead and ordered Halo Wars as well this weekend. Hope its as good or better condition as my RE5.

I ended up grabbing WWE Legends Of Wrestlemania from one of the local Blockbuster stores for $24.99 plus tax, since I still had a $16 credit there(plus $2 something I forgot I even had on my account), so I paid $8 and change and I was out the door with a complete copy.
Thanks for posting this deal, OP, but unless Mirror's Edge somehow comes back in stock for PS3, I don't see anything from this deal I still want.

That's because that's exactly what was done. Gamefly is a rental company, so they take the discs out, and the cases sit at their warehouses - mint and unused.

unless something has change..... YOU wil not get a replacement.. if you have a gamefly account they will credit your account the cost of the game and you will have to reorder it.. If they no longer sell it then you will just have the credit (at least that is what they used to do in the past)

Argh, they ask me to update my billing info when I place an order but don't mention my shipping address. I hope customer service sees my e-mail before it gets shipped.
Anyways I'm glad I finally got some games I've been wanting for a while. Hopefully they don't run out of stock...

I don't understand it, every game I buy from Gamefly looks like shit. :( I hadn't ordered from them in several months until they had Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop for $9.99 the first time. When I received it there was a huge crack in the disc. >_< I sent it back. But I thought, since so many people were saying they were getting nice copies I'd give them another shot, this time Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop again (since they refused to send me a replacement, only to send the cracked game back for credit) and Sonic Unleashed. I received both orders today, this time Dead Rising disc isn't cracked, lots of scratches though but I think it will play. As for Sonic Unleashed, I received Prince of Persia for Xbox 360 in its place.
Wow. No more Gamefly for me. Seriously.
But honestly, even when they were consistently shipping me the right games in the past I've never once got a game disc I would consider "mint" from them. They must go out of their way to send me all their crappy discs or something. :\ Though, in their defense I haven't had any issues with getting DS games from them, in fact those have always came to me in great shape.
Don't mean to thread crap, I just mean this as a less than rosy review of my business with them thus far.

I haven't had the chance to test it out yet, but I expect it to work perfectly fine. Overall so far, I'm satisfy.

I had bite on Halo wars. Ordered it wed said it was shipped friday and i got it on saterday. The case still had the dont sell before sticker on it. Manual was new, even had the "hey buy this too card" for a wireless headset. The disk had no noticeable scratches, it did have a chip on the edge. The chip is real small and is on the edge, not located near any data. I have gotten disks in far worse condition from GameSpot, in fact every disk from gamestop been worse.

No scratches on the underside of the disc, but there are noticeable ones on the top label along with some weird ring that looks like splotched ink. Also, the 'Secret Blueprint' booklet that came in with the manual is pretty beat up. Overall, though, I'm happy with my purchase.

I assume these chips on the disc edges come from GF's storage method. Maybe it's some kind of disc-loader system that uses clips to grip the edges of the disc? Just a hypothesis. :roll:
I'm awaiting Resistance 2 and hope it's in good shape...

If you see something you are interested in with free shipping, you should probably just grab it now.
There are a lot of great deals on the site now. If you see something that doesn't have free shipping now, it probably will by tomorrow morning. I'll have the full list up added to the OP (and the front page) for you then.
Apparently emails went out with select games that qualified for free shipping. My email subscriptions were turned off. Can someone provide the said list so that a mod or the OP can update the first post.
These threads would be a lot nicer with accompanying information from the emails concerning the GameFly store.
I've foolishly waited for two days to see Quantum of Solace with free shipping.

I got my game today. Case and manual are mint, disc itself is in fairly good condition, a few very minor blemishes and a couple of the aforementioned chips on the edge, but definitely playable, no worse than your typical used game from, say, Blockbuster. It did take them a full 7 days from the time I placed my order until the time I received my package, but overall, I can't complain, and I would order from them again.

I too got discs with chips out of them. I got 4 titles and 3 of them (all Wii games Deadrising, Iron Chef, Tenchu) had only one chip out of the side. Resistance 2 had a lot of little chips out of the side of the disc, though still playable. All and all I am happy, but those looking for nice looking discs might want to stay away.

The free shipping is misleading.
Not all games qualify for free shipping.
You received free shipping because your games qualified for the current deal.
Try and put Quantum for the PS3 in your 'cart' and tell me you still get free shipping.
I called customer service and they verified that Quantum was not on the 'list' of qualifying games.
Customer service stated an email went out stating which games qualified for free shipping.
The recent 'sale' included a list of games that qualified for free shipping.
Again, if someone could please furnish the email details, a mod or the OP could update the thread.
I see that sale was supposed to end on 10/26 however; many of the games are still available at the same prices?
I wouldn't really call the recent 'sale' a sale.....they always have used games at low prices. They also regularly sell them with free shipping.
I've been going to GameFly's website and looking at their store everyday for years.
There should just be an official thread about GameFly since these occur so often, with the inventory updated and whether or not free shipping is in effect.

Has anybody else received their games with little chips around the edges of their discs? I have ordered about 5-6 games from GF over the past few sales, and they ALL have tiny chips on the edges. The disc faces seemed to be ok (a couple were lightly scuffed).
I assume these chips on the disc edges come from GF's storage method. Maybe it's some kind of disc-loader system that uses clips to grip the edges of the disc? Just a hypothesis. :roll:
I'm awaiting Resistance 2 and hope it's in good shape...
EVERYTHING i have gotten from gamefly has had these chips and all the discs were scratched up. but the prices are low (on the stuff i buy) to where that isnt a deal breaker.

On the whole, most of the GF titles I have gotten from them have been in great condition, but occassionally there are some that are scuffed like this time around for me. I do, too, have the little chips in the edges in the discs on both Halo Wars and LotR: Conquest.

GF must use some kind of "disc-loading" system to store discs and auto-stuff envelopes with discs. I assume the disc loader holds the discs by the edges, which causes these chips that almost everyone seems to have on their discs.

Did you not just read this?!?!
The free shipping is misleading.
Not all games qualify for free shipping.
You received free shipping because your games qualified for the current deal.
Try and put Quantum for the PS3 in your 'cart' and tell me you still get free shipping.
I called customer service and they verified that Quantum was not on the 'list' of qualifying games.

If you are getting free shipping on Quantum for the PS3...you need to check your credit card because you have more than likely been billed for an auto-renewal.
Free members are getting free shipping because there is a half-assed free shipping promotion on games right now...duh!

I really think you need to calm down. GameFly has free shipping on a lot of random games. I have a free account that I made less than 2 weeks ago and am about to order Warhawk for $19.99 (which was never in this Blowout Sale) with free shipping. I also ordered Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts last week with free shipping, but that was because it was included in the sale. Now that it's over, their first priority is most likely adding back on the shipping charges to the games- the actual prices will be updated sometime in the future.
Moral of the story, you missed out on the sale. It went until the 26th and expecting to get the free shipping deal two days after the deadline is just foolish.

I didn't miss out on the deal...I purchased two games on the 26th...wanted a third on the 26th...shipping killed it...created free account last night on the 27th and said game was still charging shipping.
Customer service stated free shipping was not for all the games in the store.

The sale ended on the 26th. That means GameFly can start updating the prices whenever they want during that 24-hour period- you probably wanted that 3rd game just a little too late. I know a lot of people on here got Quantum of Solace with free shipping and it had nothing to do with the status of their account- it was because of the sale. You created a free account and got told that there was a shipping charge, but that was because it was on the 27th not because it was a free account. Customer service most likely told you that it wasn't for all games to make you feel better and to get you off of the phone. Please, calm down- Black Friday is only a month away and I'm sure that your precious Quantum of Solace will be at an even lower price then.

Gamefly is odd about shipping. I've yet to pay shipping from them, but there are definitely games that have shipping charges, for some unknown reason. For example, try to get Deadly Creatures for $10 and shipping is free, but try to get Fight NIght Round 4 for $40, and there's $2.95 shipping. The there's $2.95 shipping for for College Hoops 2.8 at $10, but not for RE4 for $20.
Just supply/demand, I guess. That said, it still seems like a large number of their games for sale have free shipping.

That's how Gamestop ended up with shit condition inventory, is that they saw that the shleps buying their stuff would accept less than pristine stuff and over time the people have allowed the scratches to get more and more prevalent and just put up with it.
Then again, the chips could be from klutzes dropping the discs on their edges, like my one buddy did to my already-once-resurfaced San Andreas for PS2.:roll: F'n thing looked worse than before I had it buffed.
If I ordered anything from this sale and it wasn't up to my usual specifications for used games, I'd be returning them in a heartbeat and saying every one of them didn't work one bit.:D

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but let me bug everyone by asking again: do I have to be a member of gamefly to buy used games? I don't really want to rent games but I would like to pick up a few used ones since the prices seem so good.

You sir/madam are the typical Gamestop customer, so I gotta ask...what the hell are you doing on CAG? Shouldn't you be out there paying $5 off retail for someone's babies teething ring....errrrrrr.....used(and abused)game from Gamestop?
Yes, it is important if the game works when you get it, but some of us actually like to have games that don't look like someone used them as a coaster or dog chew toy before trading them in.
To each their own, but to say that this thread is 'full of fail' because some of us actually give a shit about the condition of stuff we buy/trade for just goes to show how little you actually care for your stuff.:roll:

No, you don't have to be a member, however, members get free shipping on most games.

I would've done this deal too, but I know I'll probably find some of these games in an upcoming clearance from Sears or Kmart, so why bother with some sale for $10-20 when I can get them for $4-5.
Plus, I'm like you, I have an insane backlog so I'm good for a long while now.
Mind you, I ended up picking up Godfather II from TRU for $20 new since I had a ton of credit there and thus didn't spend REAL cash.

A recent purchase from them took over a week to arrive. I've bought about 25 games from them in 4 years and only never received one of them. Silly thing is the game shipped as a rental and as soon as it did I clicked the keep it button. I knew the game wasn't coming when I received the case/manual.

Damn, I've bought like 5 games from Gamefly, all of them were in pristine shape. Shipping time sucks, but there isn't a close shipping center to Montana so I don't blame Gamefly for that (though a distribution center in Idaho would be a good idea for us Northwesterners).
Of course, PS3 discs, being Blu Ray, are more durable and that may have something to do with why my games have had zero problems.
I have never clicked the "keep" buttong so I can't comment on this, I've just bought games when they have had their big $20 and under sales.

I had a problem with resistance 2 as well. Others games come in a few days and resistance 2 took over a week and a half but it did finally came. All the games I got came from CA. Maybe the postal service dislikes PS3 games like everyone else does.

I have rented close to 100 games and never had any disc issues. Only dust and fingerprints that wipe off. I bought several games and all case and manuals were pristine condition. This is in Tampa btw, it may matter depending on where your distrubtions center is. We have one in Tampa, maybe it is better than some of the others.

Took 3 days. 1 to pack, 2 to ship.
Got my Halo Wars today. Case is perfect with "Do not Sell" stickers on them.
The Disc could be alot better. The surface has some wear, but I'd say typical used condition. My concern is the edges. There are bubbles/chips,dents that worry me.
As long as I can install and run it, who cares?

I just got my 007 Quantum of Solace today and it's pretty scratched up, so scratched up that I have been sitting here for about 10 minutes installing it and it's only at 4%, nah, Gamefly has to take this back, if it takes this long to install then it's probably practically unplayable playing from disc.

Resistance 2, Resident Evil 5, Animal Crossing and Wii Music were all in pristine condition. Only the grooves from the holding bay. Unlike IATCG, I am not blessed with amazing clearance. The Sears around me never has their clearance games as far as $5.

Got Mirror's Edge and FEAR 2 in the mail yesterday. Shipped the 28th. Light scratches on the disks but they should play fine. Only problem is the Mirror's Edge case is broken and won't close, but that's not a huge problem and won't deter me from ordering from them again if the right deal comes along.

received both of my RE5's for the 360...wow....not used to this.
First copy has a nice little GoUGE in it. The 2nd is scrached to hell with a nice little gouge in it as well. I've contacted support@gamefly.com to see about getting replacements. I can't send anything through the main page about it, because it won't let me. It sends me to a faq file and all. I've never gotten any game from the 4 other times I've ordered from Gamefly that looked this bad.
edited due to misspelling gouge (thanks for that, btw), but these are freaking GOUGES in the discs. Like someone took a knife and decided to carve into them like they were a pumpkin.

yea gamefly does not do a return.. they issue you a refund (if your a member you just get game credit and not a REAL REFUND) and then you got to hope they are still selling the game at the price you paid)
Ask to get the shipping fees refunded as well (cause you have to send the items back)

They simply emailed me saying to reseal the packaging and just write "Return to Sender" to them.
The "No Returns" thing is crap, I think. It's not like it's a pawnshop or something. Just irks me that they send me discs that look like a 3 year old thought were pumpkins to carve, and they won't just give me better copies of the games that they took forever to ship out anyways (because they saw i ordered 2 copies, they held back my order until the 28th).

I'm in Michigan and it took them about a week from my order date to actually ship my game. After that, it took 3 days to get to me. So I didn't have the trouble you're having, but they took forever and a day to actually start the shipping process for me. Kinda sucks, but not too bad for the prices that they had.
