Video Game Rental Table Definitions:

Value Rating: Includes prices at all game rental levels and our assessment of what you actually get for your money.

Design Rating: How well the website/interface is designed--essentially ease of use.

Service Rating: This measure of customer service--which includes game rental turnaround times--is the least "scientific" rating, relying on reports we've gathered from the net and personal experience.

Titles: The total available game titles. Bear in mind the number of formats the games rental company has though; what really matters is how many titles a company has for your systems--see the system specific pages for those numbers.

Films: Some of the companies are primarily DVD rental companies that also have a limited catalog of games too - we wouldn't recommend these if it is games you're really interested in, but if you are a movie fan too then these can represent good value.

Free Trial: These vary widely from none to 14 days, or two months for the price of one. Be sure to look at the details of each site if you're pursuing a free trial, as many have strict requirements for cancellation. If you're very cheeky you can "free trial hop" down the list and try them all for free for months...

Prices: In dollars per month for standard, unlimited 1 to 3 games out-at-a-time subscriptions. This does not include volume discounts sometimes offered when you pay for a year in advance, which are noted in the individual company reviews.
