This is where you personal circumstances come into play...
You want your games, now, noW, nOW, NOW! instead of a day for postage
You rent and play one video game a month at most.
You use a dated console which has few games available.
You don't like giving out credit card details online
If any of those apply to you then it's worth thinking twice
before renting games by mail. If you only rent one game per
month then you will never get value for money through online rental,
unless of course, you rent a lot of DVDs and choose a combined video
game and dvd rental company like Lovefilm in the UK or Gameznflix in
the United States.
