Lovefilm DVD & Game

[divine]

£15 per month for 2 discs at a time (I assume this includes game discs?), DVD, BluRay and Games.

I'm pondering over whether this is worth it, or if I will be better off buying games, playing them and then trading them in :dunno:

Do you definitely want DVDs and Blu-rays as well? Or just games?

For a mix then you can't really beat Lovefilm imo. make sure you track down any relevant voucher codes for maximum free trial time :D

If you're after just games I'd go with one of the dedicated places like SwapGame or Boomerang.

I've always had better results with getting the games I want then. SwapGame for that price you'd get 2 games out at any time.
Boomerang is £13.99 for 2 games or you can pay £15.99 for the priority service which does seem to actually work too. Handy for the new releases.

I'd stick with renting for a while as it does save money in the long run. I'd only buy games that you plan on playing for a long time like RPGs or multiplayer titles. Otherwise stick with renting. Trade in values plummet so fast.

Oh and let me know if you go with Boomerang as I think I can recommend you and get a free month :p

Ah ok, that's very helpful as I didn't know there were dedicated game services.

It really depends on what/how you keep your items.

For me personally I'd never use a rental service because I like keeping movies, and I only play games in single player mode and then sell them on.
