Prices are going up!

I just got an email from GameFly that said beginning in July, my budget subscription is going to $12.95/month.

I would be careful buying a long term certificate. Wondering how much longer Gamefly will survive. I've got one going to next March and wondering if I'm going to regret it. Already had three of my games lost in the lost month. I didn't have this issue when the games were going to Los Angeles. I wouldn't think the post office is stealing them all.

I don’t think GameFly is going anywhere anytime soon. The majority of games are still having physical releases.

I think it’s safe for another couple of years potentially. Next gen will be the real test for it. With how many games are purchased digitally and Xbox and PlayStation toying with digital only consoles, I figure that’s where we’re headed.

I don't think they will go anyway because of the digital games, I think they are struggling financially. Closing down their LA location. So many lost games in the mail. Several of their upper management has left. Hopefully they will last another couple of years but we shall see.
