GameFly accuses USPS of breaking game discs

April 26th, 2009 Posted in Business, News by James


Game rental service GameFly has filed an official complaint with the Postal Regulatory Commission against United States Postal Service, claiming that USPS breaks thousands of game discs each year, and favors competitors Netflix and Blockbuster.

GameFly revealed that the company ships almost 600,000 discs each month, while receiving over 500,000 discs returned form customers. GameFly estimates that up to two percent of games are broken, which leads to a loss of almost 300,000 dollars a month — 3.6 million each year in costs of replacing the discs.
