How to Rent Games Online

When you fancy getting hold of red dead redemption but don't have the funds, or perhaps the stomach, for it, you can always rent online from websites that will send the game disc to you through the post.

How these web sites work, how much they typically cost and whether they're actually worth it at all will all be discussed in this article.

First, how they work.

Game rental web sites work by taking your address and card details and -in return for a monthly fee - sending you games that you can select from the company's selection on the site.

Don't let the monthly fee thing fool you into thinking that you're entering into a long-term contract, though.

Game rental works on a rolling one month contract for the most part so it'll continue until you cancel it which you can usually do either online or with a simple phone call.

However, there are some companies which offer even less commitment.

For example, there are some that work on a credit system: you buy a number of credits and then redeem them for discs. Nothing to cancel which can be a plus if you're a bit - or very, or extra ordinarily - absent minded.

If you're far from being commitment phobic you can also go the other way and pay up front for the service for a number of months.

However, this is not recommended unless you've used the service for a while in case you get saddled with an unreliable service.

When it comes to cost note that many game rental sites are also DVD rental sites.

Since films are still more popular than games, DVD rental sites tend to have some of the most competitive (read: cheapest) prices, though specialist games rental sites may have better selection, more gaming news available on site and more specialist game rental deals.

These deals could include a super light user offer, for example, that, for a low price, offers just one disc per month. Perfect if you like to play a game until your thumbs drop off before making a move onto something else.

Prices usually start at just under five pounds a month and can go up to thirty pounds for game rental offers that allow you to get a lot of discs out at the same time or that make sure you get the discs before anyone else.

Note that many of these sites can help you to save money because they have introductory DVD rental free trials or game rental trials when you first sign up.

You can usually get longer free trials either through referral from a friend or from referral by a game rental comparison website.
