Video Game Rental Sites - Overview

 

If you own a Wii™, PlayStation® 3, Xbox 360, Playstation® 2, Xbox™, GameCube™, Game Boy™ Advance, Nintendo DS™ or PSP™, there is good news.  Instead of dropping big bucks at the store there are now multiple services that will rent you unlimited games at a fraction of the cost with no late fees, no shipping charges and no due dates.  We've looked at all of them and come up with our short list of the best:  
 

#1  GottaPlay - Great plans, the best selection and fastest delivery.
#2  GameFly - A close second.  Very good selection and service.
#3  GamePass - A leading site for playing casual games online.
#4  Intelliflix - Offers both movies and a smaller selection of games.

Bottom Line
Not only is it way cheaper to rent than to buy, but top video game rental sites also give you full access to all games - both new releases and classics.  And the time you save going to the mailbox instead of the store lets you get in some extra gaming time.  Best of all you can play great games for as long as you want with no extra fees and send weak games packing quickly.  My only question is why didn't they come up with this awesome service even earlier?
