I guess it's not necessarily an xbox 360 question, but seeing as how that's all i own, to me, it is. I don't have the cash to buy game after game, and frankly, seeing as how i don't usually play multiplayer... at all, rentals are a far more practical way to meet my gaming needs.

I usually go to blockbuster, but too often, they don't have the truly GREAT games. They have friggin 4 copies of pirates of the carribean, but they don't "blank." Do you guys just use the online game rentals? Basically, what do you think is best for a renter like myself.

Rogers Video or Blockbuster. AV Connection is good too, for an indy rental place.

I used to use gameznflix but could never get any new release games so I switched over to gamefly. Hopefully they have better service.

Here in the UK we have Blockbuster but not in my area I have a similar British franchise called choices, It stocks an appaling collection of games (I think when they order too many they stick them on rental.) I don't think its been updated since before October.

I just got Gamefly like a week ago, it is awesome, The games come within 4 days, the CD's might be scratched a lil but they still work, and you can buy the games for alot cheaper,,, I'm thinkin of getting Forza 2 for $45,, At the moment I'm enjoyin Forza 2, then Shadowrun is guna come in :) BTW, if you're interested, follow the link on my sig, cuz if you sign up for it 'n keep it for 2 months I'll be 1 person closer 2 a free Wii or 1 year of Gamefly,,, Please? :)

I'm in the UK and I rent games Via the web http://www.lovefilm.com/ Lovefilm are great, their game selection for the 360 is extensive but not all games are available yet, most are. It is subsription based and there are no late return dates, you can rent a game as long as you like. They also do PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, PSP, PS3 and Wii.

sorry man, i JUST subscribed before reading your post. I would've done it too. I saw the advertisement, and thought, dang, i better call some of my friends and get referrals.

Seriously though guys, how long do you have to wait until you actually get to play the new games? I'm guessiing someone else gets it before me.

Gameznflix, they're horrible, but they're cheap. I don't want to pay 22 dollars to rent games when I only have time to play on the Weekends and I also pay for Netflix.

I used to go to HollyWood Video, but I went there once and they had the game on the shelf, but they didn't have the copy for it in the back. I got so pissed off!:evil: So, yesterday I decieded to try it again and the same thing happened when i brought Forza 2 and Rainbow 6 Vegas up to the counter. So now I guess I'm goin to the Blockbuster across the street from now on. :D

Gamefly because youcan keep it for a while and have the option to buy. Sometimes you can not get the new ones because not enough games togo around. The trick is to only put the game you want in your Q and not a lot of others and since they want you as a customer you get it first.
