Games rental companies

Anyone used one?
I've been considering swapgame but just wondered if anyone had personal experience with any of them

Seems wiser for me to go for a rental service for a couple of months than buy even a cheap game which would have been my original plan.

I used swapgame for a few months and they were very good. Always got a quick turnaround and always dispatched the games at the top of my list.

Sounds like what you need with a rental company

Was looking at boomerang but something about the website that puts me off and I can't pinpoint. Also figure as swapgame seems to be more famous, it must be for a reason

I'm with Swapgame, and they've been great for me so far. Let me know if you decide to go with them, I'll send you a referral if you don't mind

Haly · 23-01-2007, 19:12

Sure np

It'll probably be once I finish marvel, which seems to be going surprisingly fast

Davey_Pitch · 23-01-2007, 19:13

Marvel is great fun, it's something you'll need to go through at least twice if you want to get the majority of the achievements

Haly · 23-01-2007, 19:15

Yeah it's good fun

But does seem a little simple so far, going to play through it once then I think sign up to a rental company, but I'll return to it to finish up some achievements.

Aye I was considering swapgame and spoke to Davey about this so will see how things go in the near future finances wise.

Haly · 23-01-2007, 20:32

Yeah finances were my concerns originally but I've managed to have around £20 spare after my ebay auctions so I figure I can at least afford 2 months which will get me up to when I go back to Swansea for Easter and work, and then I can think about it after that

leowyatt · 23-01-2007, 20:42

Aye a tenner a month isn't bad

I personally was thinking of going for the 14.99 but given I have so many games already I'll probably give the 1 game at a time idea a crack

I think I'd stick crackdown on the list and probably lost planet. They seem like game I'd like to play but not necessarily own, can also get the original xbox games too to play

Should be good.
