best video game rental?

Surfer · 4 Mar 2011 at 15:24

At the moment im with Boomerang £9.99 unlimited games a month. I used to be on the value package £3.49 only 1 game sent out per month tho.

For me a tenner is too much. i'd prefer a package where you get say 3 games a month for £6 or £7.

Turnaround time with Boomerang basically means you get 1 game a week (playing 1 game max 2 days)

Anyone know any rental places that do a package 3 games a month and under £7 ?

whoops seems i can answer my own question

tescodvdrental do 3 discs a month for £5.97

(think its games and movies a swell)

edit: hrmm its a value package = 2nd hand post tho...

hrmmm

4 discs value package for £7.47 a month though and they send 2 at a time (so getting round the slow post thing) BUT im not sure if thats just for dvds or includes games as well

looks good, am with boomerang @ value package £3.49/month, but tescos offer is more tempting, will look into the offer from next month

Boomerang are incredibly inconsistent for me. I'm on their Priority 2 package and even with 20+ games in my queue set to the Balanced option, it can take 2 days or over a week for them to send me something. Going to have to put up with it till next year as I paid for 12 months of service with my last payment from work :\

Boomerang seem to be doing great for me this year. The last few months of last year were horrendous with them but I've got everything I've wanted in 2011.

That's where they've got you.

Agreed. My experience with them has mostly been good. I don't always get my top listed games every month but I get them regular enough not to cancel my account.
They sent me killzone 3 on release day - was well impressed.

They done the same with halo reach for me, I only ever have one game on my list at a time.

Tesco is just a front for lovefilm, if you're not aware, so it's worth comparing prices on those two, as service will likely be identical.

Lovefilm is really good I find, I can post a game away monday and have the next game wednesday morning, so far without failure. Me and my brother pay £10 for 2 games at one time. We go halfs £5 each so the service is extremely worth it for us.

£5 for unlimited games esentially

yeah Lovefilm is looking to be the one i want to be on. Does a 2 disc films + games per month thing for £5.99
