games rental - similar to lovefilm

Hi,

Just got the email from lovefilm that they're no longer doing games . So I am cancelling.
Any other similar website ... or do I need to sell my xbox ? :((( as games are too expensive to buy.

    Hi Mess, this was mentioned last week, and boomerang was put forward as an alternative however I do not have a console so cannot comment one bit on their prices or services :)

    Though I think prices start from £4 per month, is that a good price? I do not know lol

    If you have a Blockbuster near you then they currently have a deal on where you can rent as many games as you like between now and September (the 10th I think) for £10. It's one at a time but still a bargain if you have a fairly quick turnaround for games :)

    Alternatively you could sell your Xbox and get a PS3 with PlayStation plus. It's about a tenner for 3 months and you get tons of free games every month, you don't get to choose them but they're always quality titles in the UK
