Games rental companies - Page 4

Nope, better than that

You pay £9.99 a month (in my case) and can rent as many games as you like but can only have 1 game at any one time.
That's just my list atm but you can add up to 50 I think, it just tries to send whatever's first on the list first.

Prioritising in other words.

You can pay £14.99 for 2 games at any one time but I didn't really feel I needed that.

Some good choices there. I opened my account just before Christmas so delivery was obviously a bit slow for me. If they have one of the games in stock though there's a chance you may get one tomorrow or Saturday. The last game I sent back, they sent one back out to me the same day they got the game back, so it was a really quick turnaround time

That's the scheme I'm on. I find I need the choice as I can't often solely devote myself to a single game, I need to swap around a bit and getting 2 at a time means I can do that. I also have some PSP and DS games on my list so I can have one of those out while still having an Xbox 360 game at the same time

Ah, it works cross platform then? That's good.

Haly · 25-01-2007, 14:52

Yeah it offers most of the platforms

Not the wii though.

I'm fine with sticking with one game because I only really play the 360 at the moment anyhow.
I tried to go for a good mix of achievement whorey games and good games that I want to try before considering buying

I'd love it if I got a game before saturday, I'm feeling a bit lost atm

You sure about that?

How did I miss that? :s
Never saw that even when I was looking for DS games

Daz · 25-01-2007, 15:05

That's good

Bit flawed in terms of my own game usage on the Wii though. Bar games like Zelda and maybe Metroid, most the Nintendo games released are going to be great multiplayer ones you'd want to keep. The other ported games (COD3 and the like) I'd be better off getting on the 360 anyway.

Still, good to know should I ever consider renting

I think it's going to save me a fair bit in the long run. There's a lot of games I'd like to play but not neccessarily own for any length of time.

And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
