    Anyone got any reviews of any of these yet?Companies i mean.
  • Swapgame are alright, they do recommend that you obtain proof of postage every time you send a game back though, because if you don't, they don't give you the benefit of the doubt - they'll charge you for the price of the entire game. Don't Sainsburys do game rental now? They're excellent value.

    Also if you go into Blockbuster you can rent games from there but Im unsure if you can rent them from their online service.

    Sainsburys do do them but think it's just PSP and Playstation games.

    https://www.screenselect.co.uk do games rental for psp, ps2, xbox, xbox 360 and gamecube. I'm signed up with them and although I havent rented any games yet they have been really good for renting DVDs.

    It's worth it because getting proof of posting is free, but if they decide that you're trying to keep a game and it's not lost in the post, then you're down £30ish.
