Anyone rent games or dvds from online?

i just signed up at tesco for xbox 360 games and just wandered if anyone had any experiances with these rental services.

Cheers

we've used amazon's online DVD rental scheme and it's great... my bro-in law uses an online game hire place,he did tell me where, but my minds still a sieve at this hour..

rather then pay £50 for a game ill play solid for 2 weeks then hardly ever, i thought id rent at £10 a month instead.

edit: and its unlimited rentals per month, only have 1 at a time tho.

Yep, us too - use it for DVDs. Haven't looked at the games rental part of it yet though! It's great not having to make sure they're back by a certain date, just send it back when you've watched it - and it's almost half the price of getting it from a shop like Choices/Blockbuster.

thats what my B-I-L does.. if it's a 'keeper' he'll buy it, but for the 'average' game he'll just rent it, play it, get his acheivment points off it, and then send it back...he reckons it's about 4 rentals to the price of one purchase..

true, why give microsoft £200 for 4 games when you can rent and play for about £40.

I USED THIS SITE ONCE, MY ADVICE... DONT.

They used to be called silverscreen or something similar. when i cancelled the direct debit on my credit card, and the account, they billed me 3 months later under the name Lovefilm.com!!!
