Video Game Rental

Home
Game Xbox 360 — Xbox PSP

Even if you only play a few games a year you can save money by renting your games.

Online video game rental is becoming a popular way to acquire and play video games. With game prices typically starting at $50 or more, buying every game you would like to try is expensive and unnecessary. Why pay $50 for a game that will only provide 10-15 hours of fun? Rent the game and when you have gotten what you want out of it, return it and get something different.

There are now many good video game rental services. Make sure you compare prices and features before settling on one. Some of these services provide free trials to let you see if the service lives up to its promises and if it is right for you.

Here is how it works.

• Sign up for a free trial or paid subscription
• Pick one (or more games) to rant
• The game should arrive in a few days
• Play the game as much as you like
• Return it in the pre-paid shipping envelope

Some features you should look for in a game rental service:

• Do they carry games for your platform? (Xbox 360, Wii, PS etc)?
• How many games do they have?
• Is shipping and return free?
• Do they have a free trial?
• Are there late fees or rental time limits?
• Is there an option to buy?

Playing video games doesn't have to be expensive. Start renting and save.
