Editor's Verdict:

As with the majority of other online based game rental sites, whybuygames.com uses the wish-list system, but instead, they call it a "Queue". In order to rent games, you just need to locate the title you want and add it to your queue, and a number of titles will be sent to you as soon as they are made available, depending on what subscription package you opt into.

In order to promote ease of use, whybuygames.com has made their website as simple to use and easy to navigate as possible, allowing you to search by title, by console format or simply browse the site by category.

Once you have located the title that you wish to play, simply click the "Rent" button, and it will be added to your queue, which is viewable at the top right of every page when you are logged in. When games become available on your queue, they are dispatched via first class post in a prepaid mailer, up to the number of maximum games allowed on your subscription program. Then the rest is up to you!

You get to keep each title for as long as you want, and there are no due dates for its return, nor any late fees as a result of this. Once you have finished, or get bored of playing a game, you can return the title by sticking it back in the pre-paid mailer that it was delivered in, and putting it in the post. There are no postage fees necessary, and as soon as whybuygames.com receive the game, they'll immediately dispatch another available game from your wishlist, or Queue...then rinse and repeat!

Quite simply, whybuygames.com is a brilliant service. Along with their deliciously easy to navigate website, which is bereft of adverts (and doesn't use a red and white color scheme, a rare-breed of online-rental site!), WhyBuyGames also offer up-to-date news-streams for each of their consoles, as well as recommended lists, most popular games ranking, and hints and tips, all displayed in a distincly unintrusive visual style. This plethora of information isn't pushed into your face, as with a few of their competitors, but laid out and available for the gaming enthusiasts to peruse at their leisure, greatly adding to the game-selection process, and general feel of the site.

In order to further enhance the gaming rental experience, WhyBuyGames customers are treated to an exclusive member's area filled to the brim with personal recommendations and services, as well as an option to listen to the WhyBuyGames music player while you browse, an unrivalled amount of luxury!

Whybuygames.com pride themselves in customer service. They offer excellent 24 hour customer support over the phone and by email, and can provide help from late game delivery, technical support, and even sometimes with the playing of the games themselves. If we could award them 6-stars for Customer Support, we would do it before you could say "Sign up now!"
