Why buy video games when you can rent

December 20th, 2009 · No Comments · General

How can you be sure you’re getting the best price on video games? It used to be that renting video games was a perfect solution and as inexpensive and easy as a visit to your corner movie store. However serious gamers who rent many games at once found how quickly the rental charges can add up. If you include the injury of failing to return a stack of games by the due date and you’ll see that those late fees can really cost you.

Here are some timely hints on getting the best deal on video games or video game rentals.

First, check with your public library. Most offer free game rentals to their patrons. You already pre-paid for their selections with your property taxes so you might as well get your money’s worth.

Game Review Websites – Most web sites offering video game reviews include game details, ESRB ratings, available systems, even actual gameplay footage. Check out the video graphics online first. You may find that the game is too violent for your tastes or unacceptable for your small children, even if the ratings indicate it should be appropriate.

Never Pay Full Price – With online discount websites like eBay and Amazon, there’s simply no reason to pay retail ever again. Many times you’ll find games for PSP on sale by checking these websites first.

Rent Video Games Online – Many companies offer online game rentals for one low monthly price. Members choose from over 6000 of the latest games, delivered right to their home, can keep them as long as they want, never pay late fees for holding them too long, and return games to the company with postage-paid envelopes. If you find a game you want to keep, simply notify the company and you can keep it for a small price. Some sites like GameFly include a free trial period. Check them out to see how the program works before you join.

Game enthusiasts who are serious about their hobby can save a ton of cash when they know where to look.
