Online Video Game Rental GameLender

GameLender Membership Plans

To become a member, you first need to choose which level plan you would like. This can depend on your budget, or how many games you think you may play a month. Once you are a member, you can go to their website, login and choose the games you want to try out. GameLender recommends that you choose a bunch of titles at once, since you will not know which one you will get first (unless you specifically note on your account that you MUST have a particular title before all others). Then, depending on your plan, you can get that specific number of games at one time. Play them for as long as you like, then return the game(s) in a prepaid envelope. Once GameLender receives the game you returned, you get another selection from your list.

Sound simple enough? Check out the plans they offer below.

Bottom Line- Should you rent from GameLender?

Based on what I’ve found out about these guys, it seems like an okay deal. Online rental services like these are a timesaver for some people who can’t get to their local store (or don’t have one nearby). I like that they offer games for current and legacy systems. Sometimes renting the games I want can be a little frustrating when titles are constantly checked out. This site sounds like a good option.
