Free video games delivered to your door
How can you be sure you’re getting the best price on video games? It used to be that renting video games was a perfect solution and as cheap and pain-free as a visit to your corner movie store. Unfortunately serious gamers who rent many video games at one time discovered how quickly the rental fees can add up. Add to that the heart ache of failing to return a bundle of games by the due date and you’ll see that the late fees can really cost you.
Here are some timely tips on getting the best deal on games and game rentals.
First, ask your local library. Most offer free video game rentals to members of their community. You already pre-paid for their offerings with your taxes so you may as well get your money’s worth.
Video Game Review Sites – Most web sites offering video game reviews include game details, ESRB ratings, available platforms, even actual game footage. Check out the video graphics online first. You might find that the game is too violent for your tastes or not acceptable for your small children, even though the 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 PS3 on sale by looking at these sites first.
Rent Video Games Online – Many companies offer online game rentals for a low monthly price. Members choose from over 6000 of the latest games, delivered right to their door, can keep them as long as they wish, never pay a late fee for holding them too long, and return games to the company with pre-paid envelopes. If you find a game you want to keep, simply tell the company and you can keep it for a small fee. Some sites like GameFly offer a free trial period. Check them out to see how their program works before you commit.
Game enthusiasts who are serious about their passion can save a bundle of money if they know how to find them.
