Both GameFly and Netflix package their by-mail rentals in bright, obvious envelopes, and a Philadelphia mail handler took advantage, stealing 2,200 GameFly games in just six months. When he was caught, he had 81 games on him. 81! More »
The first of the long-rumoured Redbox video games kiosks has gone live in Reno. Rentals are $US2 per night for an at-the-moment limited selection of 13 Xbox 360 titles. More »
GameFly has just introduced their first G-Box rental kiosk as part of an orchestrated plan to take over the US game-rental-vending-machine market.
We’re big fans of the online game rental company Gamefly here, so this deal is both fantastic and devious, depending on how ethical you are. Gamefly has a deal going that will give you either a Wii or one year of Gamefly if you get five of your friends to sign up for a month of service.
Well, instead getting five people who want Gamefly, just pay five friends $10 each (that’s the cheapest Gamefly subscription) and have them sign up for a month before cancelling. You get a Wii for $50 and your five friends get a month’s worth of free rentals. Win/win. Except for Gamefly, that is. – Jason Chen
