Free video games delivered to your door

September 25th, 2010

How can you be sure you’re getting the best price on video games? It used to be that renting video games was a perfect solution and as inexpensive and easy as visiting your corner movie rental store. Unfortunately passionate game enthusiasts who rent a lot of video games at once found how fast the rental fees can add up. If you include the heart ache of forgeting to return a bundle of games by the due date and you’ll find that the late fees can really cost you.

Check out these timely tips for getting the best deals on video games or video game rentals.

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

Video Game Review Sites - Many web sites offering video game reviews include game details, ESRB ratings, available platforms, even actual gameplay footage. Check out the video graphics online first. You may find the game is overly violent for your appetite or not acceptable for your own children, even if the ratings indicate it should be appropriate.

Don’t Pay Full Price - With online discount sites like eBay and Amazon, there’s just no reason to pay full price ever again. Many times you’ll find games for PlayStation 3 on sale by checking these sites first.

Rent Video Games Online - Quite a few companies offer online game rentals for one small monthly subscription. Members select from over 6000 of the most popular games, delivered right to their door, can keep them as long as they like, never pay a late fee for keeping them too long, and return games to the company with pre-paid envelopes. If you find a game you love, simply tell the company and you can keep it for a small fee. Some companies include a free trial period. Check them out to see how their service works before you commit.

Avid gamers who are serious about their passion can save a bundle of cash when they know where to look.
