You probably haven't got the cash to pick up every Wii launch title, so why not rent them?

Postbox Games Ltd will offer all available Nintendo Wii titles to its members on 8th December when Nintendo launch their new games console.

The 13 games that will so far be available on launch day for rental will be Call of Duty 3, Cars, GT Pro Series, Happy Feet, Ice Age 2: The Meltdown, Madden NFL 2007, Monster 4x4:World Circuit, Need For Speed Carbon, Rayman Raving Rabbids, Red Steele, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, The Legend of Zelda:Twilight Princess and Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam.

Membership comes in three easy packages:

• For only £9.99 a month the bronze membership plan entitles you to have one game out at a time for as long as you want.

• For only £14.99 a month the silver membership plan entitles you to have two games out at a time for as long as you want.

• For only £19.99 a month the gold membership plan entitles you to have three games out at a time for as long as you want.

thanks for the link, seems a decent site..now all we need is a special hexus partnership to get us a longer free trial :P
renting games isnt exactly news.. i was doing it 10 years ago..
What? Slow news day Steve?

I have being renting games online from LoveFilm (ScreenSelect) for ages. You can have 2 at home for £9.99 and month or 3 for £14.99, so it's cheaper than that company. You also get a free on Month Trial too. Granted, they don't have any Wii titles listed yet, but they will very soon.
lol, I know I've rented games loads of times. This is just a company who sent us a press release saying that they will now be renting games.

Just making sure those who are new to gaming (i.e many people who will be buying a Wii as their first console and don't know about the wonders of renting) know about services such as this…plus I'm trying to get some other stuff done before Wii launch tommorow, so this was a short and convenient post that allowed me to get on with some important stuff. (more on that tomorrow!:crazy: ) :)
Hi,

I have recently signed up with a games rental company called WhyBuyGames (whybuygames.co.uk). I wanted to get games for my new WII and since joing with them I have had no problems at all. The games come within 48-78 hrs of me choosing them and when I have called their customer services team for an update on an order they have been very helpful.

Definate one for the future.
