Video Games: Try before you buy

How can you be sure you’re getting the cheapest price on video games? It used to be that renting video games was a great solution and as inexpensive and pain-free as a visit to your corner movie store. Unfortunately passionate gamers who rent many video games at one time found how quickly the rental charges can add up. Include the heart ache of forgeting to return a bunch of games by the due date and you’ll see that those late fees can really cost you.

Check out these helpful tips on getting the best deal on games & game rentals.

First, ask your community library. Many offer free video game rentals to the community. You probably paid for their offerings with your taxes so you might as well get your money’s worth.

Game Review Web Sites - Many web sites offering video 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 tastes or unacceptable for your own children, even though the ratings indicate it should be age-appropriate.

Never Pay Retail - With online discount companies like eBay and Amazon, there is simply no reason to pay retail ever again. Many times you’ll find games for PS3 on sale by looking at these companies first.

Rent Games Online - Many companies offer online video game rentals for one low monthly fee. Members choose from over 6000 of the most popular games, delivered right to their mailbox, can keep them as long as they like, never pay a late fee for holding them too long, and return them to the company with pre-paid envelopes. If you find a game you love, just notify the company and you can keep it for a small fee. Some include a free trial period. Try them out to see how the program works before you commit.

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