Description: There is no doubt about it that GameFly was the first major service provider for renting video games online.  Not only are they the proprietors, but they are also innovators.  They are always ahead of the curve when it comes to having better next-gen console titles (for renting Xbox 360 games and Playstation 3 games).  They have over 5,000 titles which are growing on an constant basis.

Personal Thoughts:  In a nutshell, GameFly is the the best single solution for renting video games online at this point.  They were the first, and they continue to show their colors by constantly upgrading their services and bringing new games to the table usually before anyone else.  The only con that I can say they have is they used to have only one shipping center on the west coast and that gave the folks (like me) on the east coast a bit of a waiting period for games.  But since then they have added another shipping center in Pennsylvania, it is the most convenient service out there, and no matter where you are in the US, you should get your games in about 2-3 days, and what's better is that they offer a free 10 day trial to see if you like it or not!

Description: GameRang is a new force on the market, with FOUR shipping centers (which is 4x more then most places), titles for almost every console including the original playstation, 4,000+ titles, and a great free trial period.  It also has a rare game plan, 4 games out at any time!  This is great for extreme gamers like myself.

Personal Thoughts:  At first when I started reading reviews on GameRang I was pretty disgusted with what I was seeing.  But thank GOODNESS first impressions aren't everything.  I've been using gamerang for about 2 or 3 months now to rent video games online and I must say it is one of the BEST services I've ever used.  Plus it offers a new feature that I think is pretty neat.  If you rent your video game online and you decide you like it and you want to keep it, they will sale it to you for a discounted price and immediately send out the next game on your que!  The only con that this site gets from me is that sometimes the newer next-gen console (xbox 360, ps3, wii) games were only in stock about half the time, and the other half of the time you were put on a "short wait" which is about average as far as these sites go.  With that note, Gamerang gets a SOLID 4.5/5 for me and is one of the best for the extreme gamers.

Description: RentZero may not be one of the first on the scene, or perhaps maybe they arent the greatest innovators of the online video game rental industry, but they are one of the GREATEST services out there.  They follow the old saying "If It Aint Broke, Don't Fix It" and trust me when I say, nothing is broke about RentZero.  RentZero provides a very simplistic site design which makes it 100x easier to follow then most (which is great for internet morons such as myself) and they also provide some of the cheapest prices on the internet to boot.

Personal Thoughts:  While some people might see RentZero's simple design as a weakness, it really shines through once you hit the control panel as it makes the site SO much easier to navigate when compared to even some of the major and leading companies.  Also RentZero is the ONLY game rental service I've ever seen send out game manuals with copies of their games.  If you consider that plus the fact that they have some of the cheapest prices around, it's really easy to get over the 3-5 shipping time if you live outside of the Southern US area.  All-in-all, everyone one from occasional time-killers to the extreme gamers could use the services of RentZone.
