Getting tired of
going to rent games at your local video store and
then having to return them in 3 to 5 days? A new
online phenomenon is changing all that: online
rentals. Now, renting a game or a DVD is easy as
picking one out online and then having it mailed
to you. Once you are finished playing it, you
simply put it back in the mail and the company
delivers another one to you. For all this, you pay
around $20 without any late fees.
GameFly
The current leader in online game rentals. Offers
a 10 day free trial and you are able to have two
games out at a time for $21.95 month.
GotaPlay
Was once known as DeepShark. Allows you to have
two games out at a time and costs less than $20
per month.
Red
Octane
Keep out two games as long as you want for $18.95
per month.
GPlay.com
Offers free shipping and unlimited rentals for
$14.95 per month.
NumbThumb
Offers one of the longer game rental trials at 14 days.
GameMine
Offers nine different plans to choose from
starting as low as $9.95. Instead of a free trial,
GameMine members get their second month free. To
be exact, a member's free month will not start
until one month after the day the member receives
the games.
GameRang
Offers a 10 day trial and different pricing models
depending on how many games you want to rent at
one time.
Into
The Game
Has a free trial for the one and two game packages
and rents games from classic consoles.
GamezNFlix
Allows you to rent both movies and video games
from one place for as low as $8.99 per month.
Console
Classix
Can legally play retro console games on PCs for a
monthly fee of $5. Can play some old games without
a subscription.
Yahoo!
Games on Demand
A little bit different model here. Instead of
renting games by mail, you download full versions
of PC games via a broadband connection. You now
buy each game separately instead of choosing from
different plans. You are able to download a trial
version for most of the games in order to help
make the best choices.
