October 20th 2008 15:08
You don't always have to buy a video game in order to get the full playing pleasure from the game. You should have no problems finding a place where you can rent video games, either at Blockbuster or Movie Gallery if not at an online services such as Gamefly or Netflix. With the online services, you can keep the game for as long as you want before mailing it back in for another game, whereas with the stores such as Blockbuster or Movie Gallery, you'll have a set time frame to rent the game.
In the end it will be up to you to decide where you will rent your video games, just know that renting video games is an option that you should consider when buying a video game can be $30 or more brand new.
GameFly is probably the best-known video game rental service. You can pick stuff out online, they’re shipped to you for free, and you can hang on to the games for as long as you want before sending them back in a pre-paid envelope. It’s like Netflix, only for games. GameFly currently has an introductory offer of $8.95 for one game for your first month. This then bumps to $15.95 a month thereafter. If you want two games at a time, their introductory offer is $12.95, jumping to $22.95.
Similar services include Gottaplay with plans at $12.95 for one game, and $20.95 for two, and Gamerang which charges $14.95 for one game, and $40 for two. Regardless of which service you choose, if you play through a lot of games regularly, the savings are perfectly obvious; you could potentially play a game a week for a quarter of the price of a game bought at retail.
