Video game rental companies offer customers the ability to rent games from such gaming consoles as the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, and older consoles like the Playstation 2, Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, GameBoy Advance, Sony PSP, and Nintendo DS.

The game rental websites allow users to rent a variety of different video games for these consoles, with some providers specialising in specific gaming consoles like the Playstation 3 for example.

There are however a few DVD rental companies that specialise purely in video game rentals, these companies offer a number of different subscription packages that allow customers to borrow one or more games at a time.

Some of the sites include game rental in their DVD rental subscription packages, while others allow you to choose between renting DVDs, renting DVDs and games or just renting games.
