I've never made a purchase there but I thought I should give you the heads up.

i got an email about it last night. i almost binned it before remembering i do have one game on there.

There are a couple things you can do now to ensure a smooth transition:

Download your favorite game purchases from Direct2Drive. We plan to have as many game files as possible available on GameFly. Just to be sure, please download your old game files before the transition.

well this isn't good enough really. they should have ALL games available.... :/

Yeap got the email, but I only ever got one game so I don't need to download anything really. The whole wanting box fetish thing I have going on

What association do they have with IGN because this email was sent to the address I signed up to IGN with.

What will happen to my games that I purchased on Direct2Drive?

Once the transition occurs, your Direct2Drive purchases will be available on the GameFly Web site and in the GameFly Client.

Some older titles may not be available immediately after the transition, and will be added later.

Also, GameFly will not support game guides and other non-game files. To be safe, please download your purchases and non-game files from Direct2Drive by the first week of January.

A bit concerned about Gamefly, although I have the games backed up from Direct2Drive days.

Civilization 4 is listed, but not the expansions as I bought complete edition.

Neverwinter Nights 2 is not listed, or the expansions as I got complete edition again.

Hope they add them in the future.

a bit expensive for a download site.

£40 for bf3, skyrim

Gamefly is expensive for renting games too.
