Options for Game Rentals

[cjwct]

Does anyone know what is the best way to rent PS3 or WII games? I cannot fathom paying for games which I may finish too quickly or become too frustrated to continue playing with. Has anyone had any experience with Gamefly or any other service? Is there anything else I should be concerned with? Thanks in advance!

I liked gamefly when I had it. Just got expensive for me.

I have Blockbuster Movie and Game pass. Pay $33 a month for unlimited 2 out at a time. They have a good selection of xbox, PS3, and Wii games. Just rented TRON for Xbox and will try TRon for PS3 next as it supports the Move which I just installed. Nice not to have to buy these expensive games to try them out for a few days.

I've been a Gamefly member for years and have no complaints about it whatsoever. For $23/month I get 2 games out at a time with unlimited rentals. Here's the main things I like:

1. As long as you have a slot open, you are basically guaranteed to get a game the day it comes out. Also, they will typically ship it a day in advance, so if I game comes out on Tuesday they'll ship it out on Monday.

2. As you stay a member, you get rewards that include discounts and money towards used games. I've purchased at least 4 games that I got essentially brand new (sent when released) and then kept the game where they send you the case and instructions free of charge. So basically, you can get at least $15 discounts on new games from them.

3. They have a decent selection of older games as well for the PS2/Xbox/GC. I wouldn't go to them though if that is your main concern, as their library appears to be diminishing.

If you do end up choosing gamefly please let me know as I can refer you and we'll both end up getting a free month of the Gamefly service.
