Rental Offerings
Launched on September 8, 2002, GameFly offered 6000 titles for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and the Nintendo GameCube. A few months after launch, GameFly began renting Game Boy Advance games in addition to disc-based games. In November 2004, GameFly added Nintendo DS games to rent. On March 21, 2005, GameFly added PlayStation Portable (PSP) games to their offerings, and near the end of April 2005, GameFly also added UMD movies. GameFly also began offering Xbox 360 titles prior to the launch of the console in November 2005. On July 6, 2006, Gamefly offered games for Nintendo's Wii and Sony's PlayStation 3. In 2009, PC games were also added. Also, in 2010, 3DS games were available for rental. Then, in 2012, GameFly also added the "PlayStation Vita" to their product lines, and also edited their rental rules, saying that from January 1 and on-ward, if you pay any paid membership, your membership also includes free PC downloads.
GameFly does not support older game systems, such as the Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, Super Nintendo, PlayStation, or the Dreamcast. They originally did not plan on adding PC games to its catalog due to legal issues involving the requirement to install PC games onto the owner's hard drive. However, this has changed since GameFly has acquired Direct2Drive, which offers PC game rental services.
On September 8, 2011, GameFly launched a beta version of the direct download to PC subscription. This service will enable customers with beta invites to download and play PC titles from their computer. The same subscription model applies however, games can now be digitally delivered.
