    Hey i was think of signing up to this..it says on their website you can get a 10 day trial..i cant see the promotional code for this so can someone please help.

    Secondly i was gonna get the silver account where i can get 2 game per month.I was wondering can i use the 10 day trial as a separate game if i get it back on time.

    When you first sign up it automatically gives you a free 10 day trial.

    No the 10 day trial will not be considered a seperate game.

    The service is excellent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,627 ✭✭✭Fol20


    Does that mean your first month will be 40 days instead of 30 or what..At the moment what is their service like,
    how long does it take for games to be sent out,do they have most of the games?I
    s their waiting time increasing by the day as their usuage base increase?

    For example,the games i would like to rent most at the moment are alan wake ,heavy rain,blur and split second.Do you think these would be easy to rent


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,955 ✭✭✭rizzla


    After the 10 day free trial, your 30 billing period will start . So yeah in the first 40 days you'll only get 2 games if you go for that plan.

    So far the games take 1 day to get to me. Say if they send out a game on Monday, chances are I'll have it in Tuesday, Wednesday by the latest.

    The games I have in my queue aren't that new so Ive always got the first game in my queue sent out. Currently have out Darksiders. You can check out their catalogue on the site, it's always increasing.

    just signed up there,do they tell you what game they are sending before they post it out?

    I was think of going for their gold package for the first month,think of like a game per week,is it easy to downgrade to the silver package after the first month

    Thanks for all your help rizzla

    edit Just found out they post it without notifying you


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,955 ✭✭✭rizzla


    I don't want to be switching between packages all the time but I'd say it's easy to do. I think your mad though going for the gold package this month with Red Dead coming out, a huge engrossing game which is a must buy.

    thats gonna be a rent for me,if its anything like gta,im only gonna play a few hours of it.im more into multiplayer games with the exception of heavy rain.Its the first game im waiting for in the post and cant wait.I loved the demo of heavy rain


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,814 ✭✭✭Nemanja91


    Would you recommend this service, I'm in cork so the games should get to me fairly quickly! What are the wait times on certain games though and would there be a queue on some of the most popular games?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,627 ✭✭✭Fol20


    their customer service is very quick.
    Delivery for me(im in cork as well) took 1 day.
    So far im pleased with it and sure for 10euro a month you can get excellent value out of it

    Yeah I might give it a try during the summer! Have you had to wait for any games or were they all in stock! If I am going for it I'd say I will go for the silver package of 1 rental a time with unlimited rentals for the month for 15 euro!

    I dont have a new release(heavy rain) so im not sure if you will be waiting long for new releases.My next game will be blur or split second so ill know for certain if they deliver new releases on time.I dont know this for a fact but id say they prioritize the gold and platinum package.

    Yeah, I'd say I will go for the gold one!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,955 ✭✭✭rizzla


    I think it goes by how your queue is laid out say if 2 people have Alan Wake first on their queue, then one of them has Dirt 2 2nd which is in stock and the other person has Darksiders 2nd which is out of stock. The person with Darksiders 2nd will get Alan Wake first becuase the other persons 2nd in the queue is in stock, and so on and so on.

    It's how gamesenders would do it. But their service was crap in all fairness. Maybe gameclick have found a different better way.

    I signed up with Gameclick a couple of months ago to get games for the kids and so far so good....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 288 ✭✭halolma


    I have signed up with these last week and my 10 day trial is up on Weds, and I will be continuing with them, they posted out my games really quickly, I have gone for the platinum plan which is cheaper than other gaming rental sites... now I know Lidl have their own now too, but I am not sure how reliable they are, as they don't give you a trial :( but they are one of the cheaper ones out their like Game Click.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,955 ✭✭✭rizzla


    Hadn't got a clue lidl had set one up. I'm still very happy with gameclick though so won't be switching anytime soon, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

    I'd love to hear peoples opinions on the lidl service though.

    The Lidl site is just an affiliate of Screenclick.com, who now seem to be renting out games too.

    Hi lads,

    Maybe you know what's happening to gamesenders? No answer to faxes, emails, they're not answering phones, queues are not updated, new games not sent...

    Are they dead?

    Sounds like business as usual.

    is there any reliable company that does games and movies?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 609 ✭✭✭jmx009


    I will vouch for gameclick.ie. I have been using them for over 6 months now. They are brilliant. Excellent customer service and quick delivery. They always deliver games withing 1-2 days after recieving the previous game that you send them back.

    I am very happy with their service so far.
