Really wish I could afford 3 games right now (Shadows of the Damned, No More Heroes 2, & Motorstorm) but could only afford 1 and that was Motorstorm. Been waiting to get this game for a long time now. How is the online community for it? Motorstorm: Pacific Rift pissed me off cause either there was no online community when I was lttp last year or the game sucked for not connecting any lobbies. Do hope that SotD and NMH2 will be on sale again next time. My body is ready!

How I felt, never noticed, because really if it is so minor and games play perfectly I am not bothered. Can not speak highly enough about GameFly, best company to buy used games from by far.

Are the cases and manuals usually in good condition? Strangely enough, I'm more concerned about that than the disc, lol. I picked up Metroid Other M and Lego Star Wars III. Both for $27 after tax, I think that's a decent deal.

Yeah, they're untouched as gamefly just sends the discs out to its users.

I've read a few times that ordering more than one game at a time gets you faster shipping... I ordered 6 games from them this month, all single disc orders, and they all got to me within 2-3 days. So I'm not sure the quantity in your order necessarily matters.

Absolutely it does. I ordered 5 games from them, one at a time, when these nightly deals started. They all took between 7-15 days to get to me, and I'm near the Pittsburgh's warehouse. I haven't been lucky enough to find 2 games I'm interested in per sale, but I do believe others when they tell me that buying 2 or more will upgrade your order to Priority shipping, which gets to you in 2-3 days, and not 7-15 days.

Damn Bestbuy is quick. I was going to get RF:A just to run through and trade towards bf3, but they cut the tiv in half.

I bought two on the 13th and my games have yet to arrive...I think they split the orders though. Not sure when to expect them as the tracking numbers don't appear to work.

Got MvC3 today, played it a little (had those chips in the side) and it works like it should.

Looking forward to more sales!

Curses, I just got a $5 GF rewards coupon, but Vanquish is not for sale!

They don't do replacements, but you can work around it. What did you say to them?

I had a cracked copy of Dead Rising 2, which I paid $10 for. I emailed them, told them I'd be happy to do the return, but didn't want to lose out on the price, which had since risen to $15 + $3 shipping.

In the reply, they gave me a voucher for $8, which covered the cost of my re-order.

Got the last of my order today, pristine condition as always with PS3 games. Total haul from this sale:

Duke Nukem Forever
Homefront
Red Faction Armageddon
Portal 2
Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll
Crysis 2
BulletStorm
Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions
Killzone 3
Dead Rising 2

Gah... that's a lot. Most of the money I saved for Black Friday deals is gone. XD Oh well.

just throwing my support in for gamefly quality. as far as used games go, they are the best i've found. i've probably bought 40 games from them, and only had a problem with one. i emailed them, they sent me a prepaid shipping label, and refunded my credit card when they received it.

i absolutely recommend gamefly.

FYI - Gran Turismo back in stock. I know at least one other person was looking for it.

Decided to wait on Child of Eden. Got Dead Space 2 (which just came back into stock), Trinity & No More Heroes

after debating it all week finally bit the bullet on Portal 2 and Gran Turismo 5.

Just a warning those chips put so much stress on the drive reading them and man does it ever. It is science just think about it. The drive is spinning and all those chips make the disc more unstable and the air goes into those chips which slows it down and makes it work so much harder. It is like doing a custom car as a box shape driving down the street. Yes it drives fine but it takes more power for the engine to go and it puts a lot of stress on the engine. I rather have my 360 not RROD even the newer models can do this or the drives fail. This is one way to make the % of it happening to you.

But some people will say it is not true and i bet those same people buy extension cords galore and plug in like 20 things into 1 outlet and thinks that is perfectly fine. Common sense is a wonderful tool.

Also a warning for people thinking about taking the chance and if they do get chipped discs gamefly bans you from buying/renting if you return a few no matter how many you buy. They blame the chips happening at your local post office and will not ship anymore to you. If you do not believe me you can contact them and ask how this stuff works. It is simple to return items but you send in say betweeen 2-5 they flag your account and good chance it goes bye bye. I suggest googling to about it.

These deals are amazing but just think is it worth paying 1-2 bones somewhere else and get them fine or save 1-2 bones and take the chance they got chips or not working or whatever other issues arises. I bought duke nukem for $10 i regret it cause i bet it comes chipped like the last few i got did. I ended up giving them away and bought them somewhere else. I love the ones that sound so bad like a jet plane taking off. Those rule!

I still like to know how they get all those outer edge chips!
