Video Game Rentals – as close as your local library

May 7th, 2009

How can you be sure you’re getting the best deals on video games? It used to be that renting video games was a perfect solution and as cheap and pain-free as a visit to your local movie store. Unfortunately avid gamers who rent many video games at once discovered how fast the rental fees can add up. Include the injury of failing to return a stack of games by the due date and you’ll see that the late fees can really cost you.

Check out these timely hints on getting the best deal on video games and game rentals.

First, ask your public library. Many offer free game rentals to the community. You probably paid for their selections with your taxes so you might as well get your money’s worth.

Game Review Sites – Many websites offering video game reviews include game details, ESRB ratings, available systems, even actual game footage. Check out the video graphics online first. You may find that the game is too violent for your tastes or not acceptable for your young children, even if the ESRB ratings indicate it’s appropriate.

Never Pay Full Price – With online discount companies like eBay and Amazon, there is just no reason to pay retail ever again. Many times you’ll find games for XBox 360 on sale by looking at these sites first.

Rent Video Games Online – Quite a few companies offer online game rentals for one small monthly price. Members select from over 6000 of the most popular games, delivered right to their home, can hold them as long as they want, never pay late fees for holding them too long, and return them to the company with postage-paid envelopes. If you find a game you like, just tell the company and you can keep it for a small price. A few sites like GameFly offer a free trial period. Check them out to verify how their service works before you commit.

Game enthusiasts who are serious about their hobby can save a ton of cash when they know how to find them.
