Rent video games before you buy

How can you be sure you’re getting the lowest price on video games? It used to be that renting video games was a great solution and as inexpensive and pain-free as visiting your local movie store. However passionate game enthusiasts who rent many games at once discovered how quickly the rental charges can add up. Include the heart ache of failing to return a bunch of games by the due date and you’ll find that the late fees can really hurt.

Here are some timely tips on getting the best deal on video games or video game rentals.

First, ask your local library. Many offer free video game rentals to members of their community. You probably paid for their offerings with your taxes so you might as well get your money’s worth.

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

Don’t Pay Retail – With online discount companies like eBay and Amazon, there is simply no reason to pay retail ever again. Many times you’ll find games for DS on sale by checking out these companies first.

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

Game enthusiasts who are serious about their hobby can save a bundle of cash if they know where to find them.
