Video Games Rentals: Check your local library

Posted by Dan on Mar 16, 2010 in Lucky Hit |

How can you be sure you’re getting the cheapest price on video games? It used to be that renting video games was a great solution and as inexpensive and easy as a visit to your corner movie store. However serious game enthusiasts who rent several video games at one time found how quickly the rental costs can add up. Add to that the heart ache of failing to return a stack of games by the due date and you’ll find that those late fees can really cost you.

Here are some helpful ideas for getting the best deals on games and video game rentals.

First, check with your public library. Most offer free video game rentals to their patrons. You already paid for their selections with your taxes so you may as well get your money’s worth.

Game Review Sites – Most websites offering video game reviews include game details, ESRB ratings, available platforms, even actual game footage. Check out the video graphics online first. You may find that the game is too violent for your tastes or unacceptable for your young children, even if the ratings indicate it’s age-appropriate.

Never Pay Retail – With online discount sites like eBay and Amazon, there’s simply no reason to pay full price ever again. Many times you’ll find games for Playstation on sale by checking these websites first.

Rent Video Games Online – Many companies offer online video game rentals for one small monthly subscription. Members choose from over 6000 of the latest games, delivered right to their home, can keep them as long as they like, never pay late fees for keeping them too long, and return them to the company with pre-paid envelopes. If you find a game you want to keep, simply tell the company and you can keep it for a small fee. Some sites like GameFly offer a free trial period. Check them out to see how their program works before you join.

Game enthusiasts who are serious about their hobby can save a ton of cash when they know how to look.
