If five people sign up for the free trial month and then pay for one month of GameFly (only $9.95) I will get 6 months of GameFly for free. Of course you can do the same once you join.

My experience with GameFly has been so-so, mainly due to the fact that we live about the farthest you could from the shipping centers. With Netflix we get movies within two days, sometimes GameFly takes a week (or more) before we see a replacement game. My understanding is that this shipping problem is less of a problem the closer you are and there have been times we got a new game within a few days. And this is why I want to try to get 6 months free from referrals, to try and balance out what we’ve been paying for the slow delivery times.

The service itself is great. I’ve always had a problem flat-out buying games the moment they were released (and consequently have ended up with more than my fair share of junkers). So being able to rent and keep as long as we want is great. We’ve learned that some games were worth owning (Raving Rabbids) while other games were sent back the same day we got them (Sonic and the Secret something somethings).

We usually try to have one Wii game and one DS game out at the same time and a few times we’ve picked up a PS2 game. For the most part though it’s mainly been our private stock of Nintendo games.

You can try it out and I’m pretty sure if you pay for at least one month after the trial period that I will get a referral credit. Hell, if you really hate it after that first month and you show up on my referral list as having joined I will personally reimburse you somehow.
