Get BioShock Free After Installing GameFly Client
GameFly is offering a new desktop client and a free digital copy of BioShock for a limited time.
Shacknews, a member of the GameFly Media network, reports that PC gamers can get a free copy of the now-classic PC game BioShock after installing GameFly's new digital PC client. The software came out of its year-long beta on Thursday, providing PC gamers yet another digital distribution service in an expanding PC downloads market.
"Now there's a whole new way to rent and buy console and PC games," the company said. "The GameFly Client brings together over 1,500 PC & Mac titles - available to pre-order, buy, and download - with 8,000 console & handheld titles available to rent. Plus, members can play hundreds of downloadable titles from our library at no extra charge with Unlimited PC Play."
In addition to offering BioShock for free, GameFly is also discounting a large number of 2K Games titles, reducing BioShock 2 down to $13.99, the Minerva's Den DLC to $6.99 and the Rapture Metro map pack to $3.34. Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition is now on sale for $7.49 (75-percent off), and a number of Mafia II, X-COM and Civilization titles have been reduced as well.
The sale doesn't end with 2K Games. One of the bigger discounts is Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect 2 with a 75-percent price reduction, now available for $4.99. The Witcher Enhanced Edition is now $4.99, and the sequel has been reduced to $14.99 as well. Another classic, BioWare's Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, is also reduced to $4.99.
Everything that's on sale can be easily accessed by choosing "On Sale" under the Games section in the client’s left-hand menu, but act quick, as these titles will be on sale for a limited time.
In addition to purchasing PC games, GameFly subscribers have access to 350 Windows-based titles through the Unlimited PC option. Overall, GameFly's PC-based catalog includes more than 1,500 titles, and its handheld and console library spans over 8,000 titles for renting or to own. GameFly is also stocking up on its collection of Mac titles as well.
"We used the positive and constructive feedback from our community during the beta to help make the best product possible," said Sean Spector, GameFly co-founder and SVP of Business Development and Content.

You do have to go through the motion of paying for BioShock but the amount is 0
They have a sale every weekend & every midweek, got Rage for £5.09, Skyrim was £14.99 for Quakecom 2012....
Got a problem with BioShock though, there's music in the start menu but no sound in the game, oh-well.
Back in the good old days you could ONLY buy games. You either had them, or you didn't. I purchased my Age of Empires 2 CD over 10 years ago, and I still have it, therefore I can still play it if I choose to.
What's this newfangled rubbish with "renting" games? Same with downloading 'em. I'd 10x rather buy a CD than download a game.
I agree, I do not want another client when I have Steam. Since I have an SSD as my root drive, Steam allows me to back up the game to a file on my data drive if I want to tuck it away for another time or just so I never have to fully download it again. I already also have Origin because EA forced there hand, bastards.
One of the hot games of the season, the XCOM (2012):
Gamefly - 36 Euro (29 british pounds
Steam - 49 Euro
'nuff said?
The gamefly client, unlike steam, installs the game directly with no extra DRM. Gamefly usually has sales the either compete with or beat steam sales.
Every game i bought on steam i just click buy and it downloads. When done i click play and it runs. OR if it's a CD i type in the key one time and that's it.
Gameflys low prices are because they must compete with steam. And if you wait for a steam sale you can get games for nex to nothing.
I don't know where you are from. But I was able to rent games back in the 80's starting with Atari up to the present. As the article mentioned renting is for the console games.
Hell I would love it if I could rent Windows games. Most I don't play because I have to buy them. If it is some massive game that will take a long time to beat like Oblivion or the Rome: Total War I am happy to buy it.
Something like a first person shooter I don't bother with because once I have beat a game I am done with it. I don't see the interest some people have playing the same level 100's of times against total strangers in online battle. I'd rather just rent it.
While I agree I still say that a PC/Apple (Same) with a multi-button mouse and keyboard smoke the consoles now and will still be above the next generation consoles. My MSI 560Ti and Q9650 will wipe the floor with any Peee S4 or Crapbox 720, here me Bethesda!!!!!!!!!!
