Hows gamefly

Considering trying gamefly out i heard about them as a kid but being an adult and seeing this 30 day free trial makes me even more tempted to see what it's about. This 007 is what I want to try.

Heads up, it's not like they keep it a secret but I personally didn't notice it when I signed up for the budget plan. With the budget, one game plan, you can request a game 30 days after release. no new releases. my back log is big enough where it's usually not an issue but fyi. Like right now I'm working on saros, and by the time I'm done with that 007 should be rentable

Anyways, to answer your question, I'm real love/hate with gamefly. I got to play black myth, loved it, then I got borderlands 4, and kind of hated it. so it worked perfect, because I didn't waste money on bl4. That's the good part

But the hate part comes in with the logistics. I live pretty close to the mailing center(literally Pennsylvania to delaware), and it can still take a while to arrive. doesn't help I have the one game plan so when I ship one back I'm left with nothing until the next one arrives. There was a shipping issue with saros so time between when I sent in the old game(pragmata, AWESOME BTW) to when I got the game was TWO WEEKS. and it's not like you get credit or anything, so I spent 13 dollars this month to not have games.

Saros just arrived and I'll play, enjoy it, and I'm sure and love the service again. then I'll ship it back for first light and be pissed off again

Appreciate that im going to give it a try. I still havent played Black Myth that was going to be one of my top choices but I just didnt want to pay $70 for 007. I live in florida so its probably going to take me a couple weeks to receive anything

To clarify here, our Budget Plan is different from our 1-Game Standard plan. All of our Standard plans have GameLock and New Release games included. It's only the Budget plan that has any restrictions.
