I’ve been hearing a lot of gamefly vs blockbuster topics lately, so I’ve decided to try both of them out and write my review here.
- New releases: Gamefly wins this with new releases of games appearing before blockbuster. New releases will appear on gamefly weeks before blockbuster!
- In-stock: Gamefly wins this as it’s always having games I wanted in stock. Blockbuster on the other hand will only have a limited of supplies in stock. The problem with blockbuster is that it has stock their local stores with games. Once a amount of time passes, whatever extra game that has not been sold at the local store will be sent to their warehouses to be used for online rentals This is why many of the games won’t be available online for you to rent from blockbuster.
- Price: Blockbuster wins at only $16.99 with their 2-game out plan while the same plan at Gamefly will cost you $22.95/month.
- Game Titles: Gamefly comes with over 7,000 game titles for you to rent while blockbuster only has 3,000 games.
- Shipping speed: After placing my order for a game I want from gamefly, the game I want will get to my door within 1-3 days. Blockbuster normally takes 4-6 days.
- Shipping fee: Both gamefly and blockbuster offers free shipping to you and free return shipping.
So who wins in the battle of gamefly vs blockbuster? It’s gamefly obviously. Although gamefly cost $6/month more than blockbuster, it’s worth the price and more. You can’t go wrong with gamefly. You should also know that blockbuster is going bankrupt and are closing down hundreds of their local stores.
