Another reason to love Gamefly
I've been a Gamefly member for almost a year. One of my favorite things about the service is the "Keep it" option which lets you buy a game that you have checked out for a reduced price. Combine the reduced price with the Gamefly rewards dollars they give you ever 3 months of membership and it almost feels like stealing.
Today, I was able to choose the "Keep it" option for the New Super Mario Bros. game for Nintendo DS. The "Keep it" price was $28.00 (Retail is $35). They have a 5% off promotion AND a free shipping promotion. Plus, I was able to apply my $10 in rewards. My final price for the game, which just came out yesterday, is $18.27! Sweet.
So depending on how many games I buy, the Gamefly service is paid for with the discounts.
