How Do Online Video Game Rental Services Work?

Most online video game rental services charge a flat monthly fee to subscribers, with which you can rent any number of video game titles as long as you remain a paid member. For example, with a $20/month plan, you are allowed to rent two game titles at once. When you return one of them, the next game is shipped out to you. Members can also cancel their subscription any time they choose, and there are typically no cancellation charges. However, you need to return all the rented games to the online video game rental service before you cancel.

When you join a an online video game rental service, you’ll be provided with a number of video game titles from which you can make your selection by adding preferred titles to your list. Depending on your membership plan, the online video game rental service sends you a certain number of video games. The rest is queued up, and when you return (usually with a prepaid mailer) any of the rented games, the next title(s) in your list is sent to you. If it is not available, the next game is sent out. You also have the option of shuffling or adding new selections in your list whenever you want. Shipping, both ways, is usually free with all online video game rental services.
