Blockbuster to Launch Online Video Game Rental Pilot Program in Cleveland

On Wednesday, Blockbuster Inc. announced that in keeping with previously disclosed plans to launch an online video game rental service by summer, that they would launch a pilot program in the Cleveland area beginning June 30. Blockbuster is planning to expand the program nationwide by the end of the year, which would make it the only by-mail service to offer both movie and video game rentals.

The Cleveland pilot will be open to all Blockbuster Total Access and Blockbuster By Mail subscribers. Subscribers who choose to participate in the pilot test will be able to opt-in to add the latest Wii, PS2, PS3, and Xbox 360 games to their current online rental queues for an incremental monthly fee, which will be charged only during billing cycles in which they have actually rented games. For a set fee, subscribers can rent as many games as they want per month, with one game out at a time. Game rentals will count towards the number of rentals a subscriber is allowed under their current online subscription plan, and Total Access subscribers will receive the same in-store exchange benefits with their by-mail game rentals as they do movies under their current plan.

Blogbuster is a big video game rentals & service providers and many of them are big fans for these and are eagerly waiting for their new releases. The gaming society is just not ready to confine itself to games of limited variety.

Video game rental services are very convenient. It's based on just picking it up and rent games from your home computer and the video game rental service will get in touch with you in short notice.

Online video game rental services as compared to buying the games online is very much cheaper because there are no return dates and no late fees. And most video game companies pay postage both ways so save on stamp fees also.

i am desperately waiting for the Block busters latest release ,they are indeed one of the best video games rentals and they always allows some very good collection of games.

In my country there is many companies for renting movies and video games, and if blockbuster will join them, this will be better because blockbuster is a big and great company, and we will have more options, especially for me, I finish one game every week, I can't afford to buy them, better to just rent them.
