This includes shipping and such yes? Damn I tempted. I'm afraid I'll like it too much though.

Ok, I took me all of 30 seconds to cave in and sign up. I really really hope I don't get addicted to this. I'm holding you personally responsible if I do, Wario64. And I expect you to pay my bill.

WTF? I can't believe we're the only two talking in this thread.
This is going to wreck my school work, heh.

Just to clarify: is this code really supposed to be for everyone to use? Or is it really supposed to be for Best Buy Emlpyees only?

Nope, I'm rather tempted by this too.
My problem is that pesky thing called "work" could get in the way.
Now, I can keep these as long as I want, correct? GBA games for rent, I can sneak in some playing time at work on those.

Tried Gamefly before, for 3 free months that's too sweet to pass up.
Be warned though, it's an ABSOLUTE BITCH to cancel w/ the Customer Service. Don't be fooled, you cannot cancel thru website, it'll just reference their CS phone #.

they can and will delay your "subscription" if you dont qualify.
i once took advantage of their free 10 day trail, then i subscribed for a month and cancelled. then, about 4 months later i signed up again under the 10 day trial. it all went through but then i got an email saying i had already used my 10 day trial and that if i wanted to continue with the service i could and they would charge me there, or i could just cancel it. i did it for another month. great service, this sounds fishy though

Sounds like it shouldn't be a problem if you haven't ever used the service before.

hmmm, i cancelled through email just fine. of course this was about a year ago.

Oh no...that can't be.
Edit: You probably shouldn't sign up so fast. They probably suspect something. Imagine twenty new accounts appearing at once.

2, when one is shipped back, they send another.
Yeah, I don't see any harm in this. If it doesn't work, it'll just get cancelled, no biggie. Just don't keep your hopes up though. I'll be watching my account closely
This hasn't been posted on fatwallet.com yet, so I dont think there's too many people signing up...by too many, I mean in the thousands

So...I should just sign up anyways? Before other websites get it?

i knew this was too good to be true...
besides, how could they possibly handle that many new customers? there would never be any games available

Yup, they shut it down. I figured that was going to happen. Like I said, they probably suspected something when a mass of people started signing up. Now, they've decided to expire it, probably for a few days or indefinatly. I'm aiming for the latter.
Oh well, I'm still going to sign up.

Its not that bad a service. I got them for a month when I got my xbox.
What sucks is, if you live on the east coast, it takes a good 4 to 5 days to get them. Netflix is next day.
I've used almost all of the online game rental sites and Gamefly was the hardest to cancel your subscription from. You have to call them by phone and they want a specific reason.
They were also the slowest service that I used. I've tried out 10-15 different online services.
{EDIT: Just remembered they also try to throw a million different special deals at you on the phone to keep you as a subscriber instead of just letting you cancel. It's pretty obvious the customer service reps are told to do anything they can to keep you as a customer. Other online game rental services are not like this.
