As I hear that many people on the website are either currently using, or possibly planning on using one of the many rental sites that are available, I've decided to create this thread to try and keep members recommendations and experiences together. If anyone wants me to add anything else to the information, don't cease to ask and I'll attempt to put it on.

To see more details about a particular service, click the spoiler tag.

Being as I've still got Lego Indy 2 and still haven't got to put it in the 360 I can safely say one game a month is fine for me!

But that's mainly because AvP and Bad Company 2 demos have been out and they're both great fun. When I start Mass Effect (the original) I think I'll just have to concentrate getting through that and ignore other games.

Yeah pb, I guess if that's the service that suits how you play, it'll be the best one for you. I plan on possibly adding the full package details onto the main post at some point soon. Got my first delay on getting a game for a while, which is a bit irritating, but it gives me time to go back to some of my normal games and play a little through them. It'd be nice to become unstuck on God of War, waves of gorgons more than 2 at a time just completely destroy me...

Well, my first payment went out to Boomerang today. I'm only on the basic £3.95 a month setting but it makes sense for me.

I was very impressed with how fast they came back on my queries and so far they've been very good sending games out. They also have a decent supply of older games too.

My favourite Lego game was the Batman one. They are good fun and give a good GS payout too!

Bayonetta on the way and nearly time to send back Madagascar Kartz

Strange, I didn't get that problem, be annoyed if I did though. Good that they did get back to you, mind.

pb - nothing wrong with playing the Lego games, I think they're generally pretty fun to mess around with.
