Video Games: Try before you buy

Posted February 18th, 2010 by Spike

How can you be sure you’re getting the lowest cost video games? It used to be that renting video games was a perfect solution and as inexpensive and easy as a visit to your local movie store. However avid game enthusiasts who rent a lot of games at once found how quickly the rental fees can add up. If you include the injury of forgeting to return a bunch of games by the due date and you’ll see that those late fees can really hurt.

Here are some helpful ideas on getting the best deals on video games and game rentals.

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

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

Don’t Pay Full Price – With online discount sites like eBay and Amazon, there’s simply no reason to pay retail ever again. Many times you’ll find games for XBox 360 on sale by checking these websites first.

Rent Games Online – Several companies offer online game rentals for one low monthly subscription. Members choose from over 6000 of the most popular games, delivered right to their door, can keep them as long as they want, never pay late fees for keeping them too long, and return games to the company with postage-paid envelopes. If you find a game you like, just notify the company and you can keep it for a small fee. A few companies offer a free trial period. Check them out to verify how their program works before you commit.

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