We don't have that many Canadians on this site, but I think Maka will be able to tell you. PM him.

Dude, I live in London 2 hours away from Toronto and this service is slow as hell. It's located near the outeredge of Quebec which is around 4 hours away from Toronto and honestly it takes 2-4 days to get to me and 2-4 days back. It's really slow since it's located in Quebec. Kind of sucks in my opinion. It's worth the money though, a lot cheaper then going out to your rental store but the shipping time is just bad so it can be more expensive. Try out the free trial.

Alrite, thanks you two, im just wondering cuz i go to blockbuster and pay like 11$ for one game to rent, and decided that online renting services are prolly better. So, yeah thanks for your opinion. I just have one question, Do they have good game's avaiable to rent?

Yeah they pretty much have all the latest games. I mean College Hoops 2K7 is no where to be found for rental at Rogers or Blockbuster here in london and Gameaccess has them. If you're only renting from Blockbuster, this is a definite must. It's a lot cheaper. Where are you located exactly?

Also, for an extra 5-6 bucks you can express ship your two games back there.

I live in Courtice which is located right next to Oshawa, Which is located near Whitby.. lol

But yeah.. blockbuster's is a huge ass rip-off, and having two games out at once, that's always good.

And what's 'express ship'?

I use Blockbuster and Rogers. I just rent from Rogers when it's a easy game (Cars, Open Season, etc.) due to the fact the are only 5 day rentals. Because of Blockbusters "no-late fees" i'll rent a couple of games at once that I now will take longer. So basicly $8 for five nights or $12 dollars for 2 weeks.

Well, in my opinion, I don't like renting games, I'd rather borrow from friends, since renting gets ridiculously expensive. Eight bucks a game is slighlty pushing it, if you ask me.

Well express makes the shipping just go alot faster. From where you're located it should take like 2-3 shipping days. And if you use express shipping you'll take it back to them in about a day. So next day they should ship your games. But yeah if you're coughing up 12 everytime and you rent a lot.. go with gameaccess.

I will never use this service again as Perpetual said it is slow as hell. They say they are getting other depots in Edmonton and in Vancouver (possible Regina) but if they do have them now, the service is not any better. Took me on average 2 weeks to get a game once i sent one back.
:uzi: gameaccess!!!

Ouch really? lol, maybe i've changed my mind... i dont know.. i just want a good video game renting site, even if it takes up to 5 days, still better then paying 11$ for one game.

Yeah it's just that their locations are horrid. I don't think there is even one located in Ontario. That's terrible.

Well, do you know of any other video gaming rental sites, that are good and arent a rip off?

Why not just get the monthly gamepass. $22 a month and you can rent any game you want. Just go into the store, rent and then return it and rent another at the same time when you go again.
