The day Gamefly redeemed themselves

And made me feel special ! I was expecting to have to buy SFIV in a couple days. Never has gamefly sent lowly me a NEW release  with in mere days of its dropping. They say every dog has his day...and today my friends .... was the day that this dog had that day.

Well its still going to be next week till it actually arrives , maybe saturday it will arrive in the mail if im lucky. I'm keeping this though.

you have to keep less games on your queue when you really want a new release. Do one of two things. Keep your games below 10, and make them all new releases or games you want to play at least almost as much as the game you want. Then you have to send back games strategically. Since you're on a 4 game plan, send back 1 or 2 games every day for the 2 days 3 days before the launch of the game you want.

That way, they should get the games the day before/day of the release of the new game, and you'll have 4 slots to fill.

I have a 2 game plan, and I do this all the time and get new releases. You just have to make sure to plan for them. I suppose SFIV might have a bigger shipment, because I got it already and it wasn't even at the top of my list.

I am slowly learning the strategy. Snoop of the forums told me this too. It came today and WTF is up with the pop intro song...this does not sound like it should be in SF soundtrack at all let alone be the intro...sheesh.

Thanks 4 the tip yo. I was just treating it like netflix I throw hundreds in there and get whatever , whenever. This gamefly Q seems to require a bit o the finesse, Noted.

15 bucks a month is very pricy imo and with KZ2 and SF4 now in my collection I don't see myself playing anything else for a minute. Was okay while it lasted though. Gratz on receiving SF4 early than you thought.

The rewards make it worth it for me at this point since I can own a 60 dollar game for $40 bucks or less depending on how much reward points I have at the time. I did not like it at first though almost cancelled.

Used games are cheap in the store and shippings always free. Still for games like KZ2 I go into retail.

how does gamefly work?

if you keep the game, do they ship it a PS3/360 game casing with the artwork in the front, or just a standard gamefly slip/box?

[INehalemEXI]

they ship the original case w/artwork and manual. If you keep it, It comes in a gamefly sleeve first as a rental.
