Renting 360 games....

GTCole · 10 Apr 2006 at 13:57

Hi Guys

Due to the high cost and the fact that i tend to get bored of games quite quickly (i tend to complete them and never play them again) i have decided to have a crack at renting, can any one tell me if Blockbuster rent games (not via their website as far as i can see) or can anyone recommend somewhere i can rent them from (cheaply) please

TIA

Screenselect is one online rental firm that do them

Gamesfrenzy are pretty good but dear. I use them.
Screenselect allow you to mix dvds with games etc and I use them too. They are cheaper but you're less likely to get 360 games.

I'm using Swapgame.com and the turn around time so far seems to be good.

FOr some strange reason Blockbuster don't seem to do any 360 stuff, even in the U.S from what I've heard.

I'm using Screenselect but as VIRII said it seems to take a while to get a game rather than DVD from my list, I'm guessing they have low stock of games.

How many games do you get for £9.99 a month and do they do any alternative offers?

Gamefrenzy is £15 for 2 at a time, £16.49 for 2 Xbox360 games at a time.

Screenselect is £14.99 for 3 discs at a time which could be 360, DVD, Gamecube or whatever is in your list.

I tried a 10 day trial with swapgame. I had qiute a few games in my list. Some old, some new and a variety of platforms. Didn't receive one game in 10 days so I cancelled.

I did. In the last screenselect game rental thread

I have another code for a sense of humour rental and another for not taking life to seriously. Would you like them too?

By the way if you are going to accuse somene of being childish it is best not to use phrases like "your soooooooo big and clever" as it kind of makes you appear about 12.

Let's not forget that you were trying to make some cash from the codes, you should have just posted them.

Wyrdo · 10 Apr 2006 at 17:39

pwned tbh

I've been getting loads of these codes to give to a friend, if anyone wants em I'll start keeping them instead of throwing them in the bin.

Well seeing as screen select have mailed me the code with "INTRODUCE A FRIEND AND SAVE £20" and there is a big promo on their website about recomending a friend i thought it was a good idear for us both TAKE A LOOK

Its not me trying to get money out of someone its how the offer works

Why is that being a cheepskate?

Your the one using a magical 2 month free trial so who really is the cheepskate now

Anyway back to the topic i have been very impressed with screenselect so far and have had several games for my 360 from them i like the topic poster get very bored with games quickly and once complete rarely play again

On the subject of free rentals from screen select the £20 offer for introductions is as follows :

Latest offer - Earn £20 for each friend that you introduce to ScreenSelect.

We want your friends. And when you personally rope them into the wide and wonderful world of ScreenSelect, you'll be rewarded too. For each friend you introduce that becomes a full member, you will earn £20, credited to your ScreenSelect account. And they get 6 FREE DVD rentals.

Whereas the code in the previous thread gives you 1 months unlimited rental (you could get through about 12 discs in a month without any trouble, 18 if you pushed it). It would not however give the referrer anything.

I know which is likely to be of better value to the average OcUK gamer.

I accept Your Apology

And as for the 6 dvd rentals stated above my first offer is different you would get 1 month free not just 6 DVDs
I think its an exclusive offer for existing customers as i got a special gift card with my last rental that i would need to fill out and post back
