Video Games: Try before you buy

How can you be sure you’re getting the best deals on games? It used to be that renting video games was a great solution and as cheap and pain-free as a visit to your corner movie rental store. However avid gamers who rent several games at once discovered how fast those rental charges can add up. Add to that the injury of forgeting to return a stack of games on time and you’ll find that those late fees can really hurt.

Here are some timely ideas for getting the best deals on games & game rentals.

First, check out your local library. Most offer free video game rentals to members of their community. You already paid for their offerings with your taxes so you might as well get your money’s worth.

Video Game Review Web Sites – Many websites offering game reviews include game details, ESRB ratings, available systems, even actual gameplay footage. Check out the video graphics online first. You may find that the game is overly violent for your appetite or unacceptable for your own children, even though the ESRB ratings indicate it’s appropriate.

Don’t Pay Retail – With online discount websites like eBay and Amazon, there’s just no reason to pay retail ever again. Many times you’ll find games for XBox 360 on sale by checking out these websites first.

Rent Games Online – Quite a few companies offer online game rentals for a low monthly price. Members select from over 6000 of the latest games, delivered right to their home, can keep them as long as they wish, never pay late fees for holding them too long, and return them to the company with pre-paid envelopes. If you find a game you like, simply notify the company and you can keep it for a small price. A few vendors a free trial period. Try them out to verify how their service works before you commit.

Game enthusiasts who are serious about their hobby can save a ton of cash when they know where to look.
