DVD And Video Games Rental

Renting games for consoles has been around for quite some time. We all remember Blockbusters, the gaming giant, where you could rent and purchase games and `DVDs. But now they have gone, it would seem as if the process of renting games has gone as well, but this is not the case. With online game rentals, you are still able to rent games you want to play, it just has a different process. Renting games is going to be ideal for those who struggle to make decisions and don’t want to waste all of their money purchasing games they later don’t enjoy.

A lot of online game rental stores have a selection of games available to rent. Sometimes the process can be different but on average they follow these simple steps.

The first step in game rentals is finding the game you want to rent. Finding a rental agency that has the game you are after is what you want to do. Understanding what services they offer as well is key. Sometimes you can rent single games, other times you need to rent a collection to try.

Once you have found this you will be able to rent the game from them. Most game rental companies allow you to have a trial with the game, this is the renting aspect. You will pay a small fee for the game to be sent to you for a set amount of days. This is the time when you can play the game and try it to see if it is what you would like. Most companies offer around a 3-week trial period as this gives you enough time around work or school.

After the time period stated on the rental contract is over, you will need to make your decision. You will either need to return the game to the rental company within the time limit, or you can decide to keep the game. If you decide to keep the game the full price they are selling the game for will be taken from your account. Some companies offer another option where you can extend the rental time so you can continue to try it if you have not made your final decision.

Of course, you can return the rental and purchase the game from elsewhere if you have found a better deal for the game. A rental time is a great way to try the game if you do not have the money right away to purchase the game outright.

That is it for the simple process of game rentals. It may not be as easy as it was before, but it is still an option for those who struggle to decide whether they want to purchase a game and simply do not want to risk it. Most online game rental companies do have a variety of games available for a variety of consoles. Meaning even with the latest releases you will be able to rent from them to enjoy a trial of before committing.

Do you own an Xbox 360, PS3, or Wii? Do you ever feel like you shell out a fortune on games? You can now save uite a bit of money by renting your video games instead of buying them. While purchasing a single video game can cost you anywhere from £30-50, renting can cost less than £10 per month for unlimited rentals for all the latest gaming consoles. For those of you who would like to try this service out before you pay for it, most places offer a free trial period.

Have you ever bought a game and beat the entire game within a couple of days? Did you spend £40 on it and now you don’t know what to do with it now that you’ve beaten it already? You have the option of trading it in to local game trading stores. However, you will normally receive much less than half of what you paid for it.

Well, you’re now in luck because renting games gives you all the options. You can rent up to 4 games at a time and keep them as long or as short as you want and then mail them back, only to have new games mailed back to you.

Just to do some math, if you were to buy 2 games, it would cost you roughly £90. If you rented 2 games and kept them for a whole month, it would only cost you around £10. That saves you around £80 on just those 2 games alone.

Ultimately, renting provides all gamers with limitless game titles on all modern gaming consoles. Even better, you can rent games from different platforms at the same time. If you own an Xbox 360 and a PS3, you can rent games for both of them at the same time.

Some sites even allow you to buy ex rental games at a discount, so for example, you really like a game and don’t want to return it right away. So, you keep it for 2 months, by which time, some of the copies will be available at a price lower than the RRP and you get to keep it forever, returning your copy to the rental company, with no break in playing your favourite game. You still save money as the amount you pay to rent it and then buy it is still cheaper than buying it on release date. So you’ve spent around £20 renting the game by which time the depreciation will bring the RRP down by more than that within the 2 months since release.
