The GameFly Story
In early 2002, Sean Spector and Jung Suh started to share their frustration with not being able to
rent video games. This led them to search online, where they could not find anyone serving the
video game rental market. In mid-2002, Sean and Jung partnered with Founding CEO Toby Lenk to
start GameFly.Our subscription service has grown rapidly since its launch in 2002. We are the largest
online video game rental subscription service in the United States with more than 334,000 subscribers
as of September 30, 2009. We believe our growth has been driven by the compelling value proposition
of our subscription model, extensive selection of titles, high level of customer service and effective
marketing programs, as well as the increase in the installed base of video game consoles.
We provide our subscribers access to a comprehensive library of over 8,000 titles covering all major
video game and handheld game consoles. We purchase nearly every new title upon its initial release
in the United States. In addition, we continue to carry in our inventory approximately 95% of all titles
that have been released across multiple generations of the major video gaming platforms since we
started our company.

Our subscription service allows you to have one or more video games out concurrently with no
due dates,ate fees or shipping charges for a fixed monthly fee starting at $15.95 per month. Our
average subscriber rents approximately 22 video games per year from us at a cost of less than the
purchase price of five new video games at an average price of $60.00. You also have the option to
purchase a video game you are currently renting through our ‘‘Keep’’ feature. We believe a significant
value we offer to you is the ability to rent video games before you buy them. According to our August
2009 survey of subscribers, ‘‘try before you buy” ranks as the most important feature of our subscription
service. In addition to selling video games through our ‘‘Keep’’ feature, we also sell new and used video
games. To complement our subscription service and video game sales, we operate a network of
advertising-supported websites that provide video game content and information.
