The Pros and Cons of Online Game Rentals
Pros:
1. Online video rentals offer thousands of video game rentals with the newest video game titles being released for rental as soon as they come out. Older games are always available as well.
2. Deliveries are received in your mailbox within 2-3 business days of your order.
3. There are no late fees or delivery due dates for any game in stock. All games can be kept for as long as you wish.
4. Rental companies generally offer used games that are only a few months old for a much lower price than you would be able to find at any storefront or retail store location.
5. Customer service is always there to help with any shipping, tracking, or game problem that may arise within 24 hours.
6. Memberships are much cheaper than renting games at a storefront rental if you tend to rent games more than 3 or 4 times a month.
7. Some online rental companies supply instructions, reviews, cheats, and community reviews to the public, so that gamers can make an informed decision on what to rent.
8. You will be offered various rebates and special offers for being/signing up as a member.
Cons:
1. If you only occasionally rent a game, usually not more than 1 or 2 games a month, you may be wasting your money. Make sure that you know how much time you have available each month to devote to your favorite games. If your time if very limited, you may want to consider a 1-game-a-month plan or even cancelling if you are not playing at all. Almost all rental companies offer cancellations at any time unless you agree to a contract that doesn't allow early cancellation.
2. Some contract memberships will charge you a fee even if you do not rent any games at all during your entire membership. Make sure that you will make good use of your membership. Even if you are receiving a significant discount for your contract, it won't save you anything if you don't use it.
3. You may be one of those busy people, like many of us, who do not know when you may have the time available to spend on playing video games. When you do realize you have the time, you don't have 1-3 days to wait for a game to show up in your mailbox. Storefront rentals may be just the right choice for someone like you. You can pick up your game anytime and play it for the times that you have available.
