Posted on Xbox360 Fanboy. Its a big confusing. The ad looks like you are paying $5.95 plus 400 MS points. X3F says you get 400 MS points.

that is a pretty nice deal if you own an xbox360 and want to rent games


is this deal workable with the $20 referal that gamefly offers current users?

Not a bad deal for the service. Been a member for almost two years and overall pretty satisfied. The fact that they added a shipping center helps as well. Good find.

If you are getting the 400 points, then that is a fantastic deal. It's basically a month of gamefly for $1. You can cancel after the trial month with no strings attached, right?

been waiting since last weds

Hot shot golf 2 open tee or whatever its called psp

Summon knight twin age both shipped last weds never got any


Im a sad panda : (

Lol, I already have a Gamefly account but signed up with a diff email and credit card for this deal :P

You got a second Gamefly account just to get a deal, even though having two accounts offers no advantage over having one? Doesn't sound like a very smart move to me, since the average human can't play more than one game at any given moment (well, maybe Culdcept Saga).

Just for those wondering on how ( mail? / sent online? /email? ) they will get the 400 points...


You'll receive 400 Microsoft
Points via e-mail in 4-6 weeks.

At least that is what Gamefly told me after I signed up.

Too bad it takes me like 4-5 days to get a game.

For anyone concerned with turnarounds or who had a bad experience in the past, GameFly just opened a new distribution center in Texas. That makes four, now. Personally, I live in Jersey (the closest center being in Pittsburgh), and the turnaround is lightening quick.

For those that got in on this offer, do they actually give you 400 MS points? Anymore details of this in the signup process? Like I said in my first post, the wording is a bit confusing.

I wonder if I can combine this with the $10 sign up bonus in FatCash (FW). I've cashed out a lot of money from FW.

I'm betting not. They tend to find any reason possible to not give you referral credit... ie. if they signed up under this 'deal', the referral 'deal' doesnt count. At least that's how the 'friends and family' promotion worked.

Yes, cancel and not worrying about it is a complete and total option. But it makes me wonder... You get the points after 4-6 weeks? A whole month later? I'm willing to be skeptical of the fact that you won't get the points if you don't continue with a second month at full price.

Bah... 4-6 Weeks, almost a sweet deal... almost.

bad thing about this is if a game isnt at the location near you. They will send it out of a another place DAYS after it says it shipped. I called to complain about the summon knight game and they said Please allow up to 14 days to get it .

they did give me 5 gamefly bucks but they said if the shipping center does not have it , it will say shipped and they will then ship it out of another center up to a few days later.

80% of my games come 2 to 3 days. the rest of the time (around 5 times counting this time) 7 to 10 days

I hope i get it tomorrow i really want to play this game....

now with 20 gamefly bucks though i can either get

Etrian Odyssey 2: Heroes of Lagaard for around 4 (probally sell it for 24)
or
Final fantasy tactics 2 DS for probally 13 bucks (they probally sell it for around 33)

It's actually very nice, especially if you only have a 1 game out limit. I signed up for two free trials and this was nice b/c no downtime between sending a game back and having a game from them. So it's not like you waste 4-5 days of your month sending a game back and waiting for next in queue to ship and arrive. That way you'll usually have a game at home to play if you decide to send the other back. Also this was nice for me because I got two $5 off coupons..

great deal, thanks OP!

Alright you confused me even more...

When I first signed up I had the option of either having the one game deal or the two game deal. I thought that was standard. I got the 2 game deal so I could alternate the two games and never be without a game. And I never was, it was fantastic. I'd play one game, waiting for the other one to make it there and for them to send me another game.

A couple months later the 3 game deal became available and about a year later the 4 game deal became available to me.

I've since gone down to a one game deal because I am lacking in time to play.

Thanks for the heads up...bit on this one.

Thanks OP!
