GameFly today announced a campaign with Microsoft to provide another avenue for Xbox Live users to subscribe to GameFly's online game rental service. For only $5.95 for the first month, Xbox Live users can sign up for GameFly and receive 400 Microsoft Points, which can be used to purchase downloadable content on Xbox LIVE Marketplacet. The campaign will run now through September 13, 2008.

The GameFly presence on Xbox LIVE includes a GameFly Branded Destination Experience (BDE) which lets users learn more about GameFly, watch the newest commercial and download GameFly Themes and Gamer Pics. Additionally, Xbox LIVE members can enter the “Register and Win” Sweepstakes, with a grand prize package featuring tickets to meet and see multi-platinum recording artist Metallica perform. Travel and accommodations to the show are also included. Additional prizes include 1 year and 6 month GameFly memberships and a copy of Mercenaries 2: World in Flames for the Xbox 360 from EA. The sweepstakes runs through September 13, 2008 and winners will be selected soon after.
