Gamefly Specials
From LoveToKnow VideoGames
One of the best ways to save money on online video game rentals is to look out for some of the fantastic Gamefly specials that are offered from time to time. These specials can help you save some serious cash while still letting you enjoy the best video games of the day, whether it be Rock Band, Grand Theft Auto, or anything in between.
Typical Gamefly Specials
As you may already know, Gamefly is one of the many services that lets you rent video games online. They offer well over 5,000 video game titles from just about every current video game console on the market today. This includes the PS3, PSP, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, GameCube, Nintendo DS, and more.
In terms of regular price, the two standard plans are:
- One game out at a time for $15.95 a month
- Two games out at a time for $22.95 a month
There also appear to be bigger plans available to customers who have been in good standing with the company for a certain period of time. These allow gamers to enjoy three or four titles at a time. For people who are first signing up, looking for Gamefly specials is a much better deal anyways.
There are many possible Gamefly specials and here are some of the most common.
Extended Trial Period
The typical free trial period is 10 days, but you will occasionally come across special coupon codes that allow you to enjoy longer trial periods. For example, there have been special codes distributed that allow new subscribers to enjoy a 30-day free trial period instead of the standard 10 days. There are also codes that allow for 14-day trials. These codes are not active all the time and change each time they are offered. Keep an eye out and you can enjoy Gamefly for free for a longer time before committing to a monthly plan.
Free Pizza
Video games are fun and all, but you've got to eat some time. In addition to the video game rentals that you'll be enjoying, it is also possible to get a free $10 gift card to Papa John's. This coupon code will allow you to much on some delicious pizza in between Guitar Hero jam sessions and tough Street Fighter battles.
Discount Rental Fees
Of the many Gamefly specials that you may find online, this one might be one of the best. While the standard price for one game out at a time is $15.95, you can choose to forgo the 10-day free trial and opt for a discounted fee for the first month instead. Save 40% with the introductory low price, paying just $8.95 for the first month. If you want two games out at a time, then you pay just $12.95 for the first month, instead of the standard $22.95. With special coupons, this 40% off deal can be even be extended beyond the first month.
Free Magazine Subscription
When you opt for the discounted rental fees described above, Gamefly will also offer you a free trial subscription to one of the most popular magazines today. When you sign up for a new account, you will be given the opportunity to get 14 issues of either Sports Illustrated or Entertainment Weekly delivered straight to your door.
