Renting games online makes a compelling argument these days. Renting Wii games in particular seems like the smart thing to do. Wii games appeal to the family gaming crowd, which means that at least half the participants are children. Kids will love a new toy / game / movie to death during the initial novelty phase. I know mine would watch Shrek ten times a day when it first came out if I let them. So, why spend $60 on the latest game for your Wii, when half the players will be bored with it after a few days.

This is where Wii game rentals come in. Renting games online is an idea whose time has come. It's convenient, cheaper, and doesn't clutter your house with boxes of old games waiting to be sold on eBay. There are a number of other good reasons to rent games online. Home delivery, large selection, and less expensive are a few that come to mind.

Here's another. Very few computer games these days offer what is known as replay ability. Meaning, that once you played a game from beginning to end, there's not much point in ever playing it again. We rent movies all the time for this very reason. Many do apply this very thinking to video games. If you happen to come across a game that is worth keeping and playing over and over, then go ahead and buy it. Most online rental companies allow you to just buy a game you have rented out, and often at a price $10-$20 lower than the retail stores.

If your unsure about signing up, take a test drive, with a free trial. Pretty much all companies offer it. It let's you see the whole process first hand, at no cost. Then you can decide for yourself.
