If you are an avid gamer, you will certainly be aware of the financial commitment it entails, which not only includes the cost of purchasing a video game console, but also the cost of purchasing games of various genres to whet your appetite for entertainment.While there are people who are the first ones to go out and purchase any game the day it is released without thinking twice, there are also many who would prefer to be more careful with their hard earned money.Typically, such people might choose to borrow a particular game from their friends or rent it from a game rental store before deciding whether or not to go ahead and purchase it. There are also gamers who feel it does not make sense to buy games since they are unlikely to replay them once they have completed playing the game.A viable option for such people is to subscribe to an online game rental service, such as that offered by gamefly.com. The business model adopted by gamefly.com is very similar to the one popularized by netflix.com. Essentially, depending on your membership type, gamefly.com will mail you a certain number of video games of your choice, on rent, which you can keep for as long as you want. Once you return these via prepaid postage, you will be sent the next games on your queue.Gamefly.com offers four membership plans, costing $15.95, $22.95, $29.95 and $36.95 per month; with an allowance for one, two, three or four games on rent at a time, respectively. The $22.95 a month plan is the most popular amongst its members, while Gamefly.com will require you to have an account in good standing for at least 60 days before allowing you to upgrade to the higher $29.95 and $36.95 a month plans. When deciding on which plan works best for you, you will have to keep in mind that it takes 5 days before you will receive you next game after sending the earlier one back.Let us make a comparison between renting games from the local rental store versus renting from Gamefly.com. If you subscribe to the $22.95 a month game plan, you will be able to rent a maximum of 6 games per month, if you keep each set of games for 5 days each. At this rate, it would cost you $42 on average to rent from the local rental store. This translates to a monthly saving of almost 50% on your game rentals. To top it off, you not only save money, there is also the added convenience of not having to drive all the way to the local rental store, as the games are delivered right to your doorstep. Additionally, if you find that the game you have rented has great playability, you can even opt to purchase a pre-played copy from Gamefly.com at an affordable price.

All in all, Gamefly.com provides an excellent platform for video game enthusiasts to try out and play almost every imaginable game on all consoles for an affordable price. Try their 10 day free trial today and experience the convenience and flexibility of online game rentals for yourself.
