Online Video Game Rental

There are lots of places on the web you can go to and find out about renting video games online. But there's a big secret, that none of them want you to know. Keep reading while I illuminate.

There are a number of places you can rent video games online, and if your reading this, I'm sure you've already know most of them. Places like GameFly, GameZnFlix, and Gamerang. They're all pretty competitive, and offer very similar services. GameFly seems to be the most established, with the largest selection of titles, and arguably the best customer service and process for getting your games turned around quickly.

All these companies have struggled with turn around time. The biggest complaint the industry has heard from customers, is how long it takes to ship games to and fro, using the postal service. New distribution centers throughout the US, have helped. In addition, now the post office will scan your returned games right at the post office. This notifies the rental companies that they can ship your next game(s) out right away. Theoretically cutting the turn around time in half.

The industry is getting better, and has been growing substantially year after year. Things can only get better for the consumer. In the spirit of consumer fairness, the big secret I alluded to is, that pretty much all those game rental review sites get a kick back (referral fee) from the rental companies. It's common practice, but you the consumer should be aware, that the top rated companies may simply be the one with the best referral fee.

Knowing that, you should really take any review you read with a grain of salt (including this article), and judge for yourself. The smartest move any consumer can make in the online video game rental business, is to only sign up for companies that offer free trials. Then, judge for yourself risk free. That's the most unbiased review you'll ever receive.
