Okay, so I have a growing list of games I want but I can't afford to buy them just in case they're rubbish and I'm trying to save up for my holiday, so renting them would be kind of a cool idea. Does anybody know a cheap place or site to rent video games? Thank you. :)

LoveFilm is the only online one I know of, and BlockBuster are also good for game rentals.

The 9.99 option does, but with the 14.99 option you can have 2 at a time, and swap whenever you want. I have heard that you get discount from buying a game you've rented too, not to sure about that though.

EDIT - I don't think the last bits right, it doesn't appear to be on the website.

That was a quick reply:O
Personally I'd go with blockbuster but that's only because there's a shop just up the road:P

Y'know what, just go with Lovefilm. Seems to be the best value and service.

So I could have 10 games in my house at any 1 time?

no, the max you can have at a house at any time is 3 but unlimited means you can get 3 games one week, complete them in 4 days then send them back and get another 3 and can do that as many times within the month.
some of the combinations only allow you to rent 4 games within a month and after youve rented your 4 and the month is not over youd have to wait for the next month.

If you rent xbox games can you download to the HD? (legally)Yes but you still need to insert the disc to play the games on your HDD.
