Best online Game rental service

POSTED BY: tonygee 6 days, 21 hours ago

Hi all
I have just received my new next gen console(Im not saying which one to avoid a console debate)and I have decided to join an online game rental company for 2-3 months or maybe longer as I have so many games I want to try before I buy as this is my first next gen experience. Can anyone give me advice on a reliable, fairly cheap company that offers great service in games as I want the best value for money & quidco would be great too!
The only company I have used in the past is Lovefilm(2 years ago ish) so that one is the only one that I wouldn't get a free month trial with or quidco cashback.
Thanks so much;)

There is plenty of 3 month reactiivation codes for lovefilm about.

Not sure as such as I have about 70 dvds on my lovefilm list and about 10 games, and since I first put the games on list 8 months ago I have had 2 of them and both are common games.

And a lot of hard to find in shops(though not on Ebay) like MGS2 Substinance have massive waiting lists.

I have found an as cheap and more reliable way is to buy the games cheap and then flog them on. I have a PS3 cus that is better than the XBox (<-- srry, couldn't resist) and if you browse these forums and keep looking in shops you can pick games between £10 & £20. Sure you won't get the latest games but you hardly ever with rental services. If you trade-in a game or swap it with a mate, or if you have no offline friends (like us gamers often don't) then start a games swapping club at work or something.

I must admit that I am no longer a fan of rental services so I am slightly bias. But spending £15 a month on rental then maybe only geting a game or two which you don't complete doesn't compare to buying the game for £20 and having a good run at it before you are 100% you are sick of it to then get £10+ trade-in or swap for something you can do the same on.

My 2p anyway

just sign up to lovefilm with a different email address have only games in your list and put old games as low priority and newer games as high priority or you will never get the newer ones. I did it as soon as i got my ps3 and a few blu ray movies has been fine they have sent through the games i wanted and its unlimited so you can play as many as you like also be sure to donwload all the demo's on the PSN loads to play there.
