How To Rent Video Games Online?

To rent video games online makes sense if you like to shop for them from the comfort of your own home.

The way it works is simplicity itself. You join a rental company and the games are then sent to you by them in a pre-paid envelope which you can also use to send the game back with the next game that you want to order. To choose your game all you do is log into the rental game site of your choice and order the game that you want. It's all done at the push of a button.

Here are a few pointers for what you need to look out when picking an online video game rental outfit online:

1. Are you a gamer that likes to play one game at a time and then order another or do you like to play many at a time? If the latter choose a site that offers a cheaper subscription offer if you order more than one game during the month.

2. The shipping cost should be covered by the subscription of the online video rental site, this ensures that you do not end up with further charges, especially if you like to order many games during the month.

3. Has the site got games for the console machine you play with? Most will have the most popular platforms like the playstation 2 or the xbox, but if you are a game cube fan or a PS1 owner be aware that some site will not stock games for them. So make sure that you check!

4. Shop around for the best prices and special offers. Typically prices from one company to the next will be similar but special offers like a $1 trial for the first month or a free though shorter trial period can make a difference to your monthly expenditure.

Many sites online offer online video game rental, the most popular of which include gamefly, gplay and gottaply which at the moment offers a free 10 day trial..
