I joined Gamefly;s free trial. It was suppose to last till 3/5 which said the billing period begins 3/5. I canceled on 3/5 in the early morning. It also says '0' days left of free trial. Wonder if i will be charged? I went into billing history and shows nothing.
:confused: You might mant to email them.

Good question I was wondering the same thing. Red Octane (http://www.redoctane.com) lets you rent Japanese titles but I want to know a place that has PAL too and more of an import selection.
is there anything like this in the uk ?
Try a search engine. That's where I found my above list.

Looking at the sites, the best deal is probably gamesforrent (2 games out at $15). But what is there stock like? Is it easy to get the new releases?
Are any of these available in canada?
Click the links and see where they ship to.

Dont do GAMESFORRENT. they are rips offs and pee'd me off when tried their free trial period. I canceled before the 10 day trial period ended cause the selection of games were always out. so i rented a crap game. I recieved the game the same day i canceled the trial period. Sent the game back the next day. They mentioned in fine print that you have 7 days to return games from the cancel date in order to not to be charged. Well they charged me saying the game never got back by then and would not refund me. I'm only 3 states away! it doesnt take over 7 days to rent a game via first class.

I use Numbthumb...they have a pretty good stock and even though they are in texas the turn around is pretty quick for me in New Jersey. They take well to customers suggestions. I actually told them they should make it easier for users to get instructions and instead of waiting for the item to be shipped out before giving you access to game instructions they let you see them before this way you know how hard or how easy the game controls are before you rent it. Not to mention if you need instructions on a certain game you just send them an email and they will put up the game instructions that same day.
They have awesome customer service. I sent them so many suggestions that they sent me a T-shirt. Which I thought was pretty cool.
Mr.Ricky
Anyone know of a place in Canada that rents games?

I search the internet for some hours and I found only this site. It's a Canadian web site. It's not as good as the US sites but it's ok check it out yourself.
http://www.dvd-rental.ca
don't forget www.triggerfingers.com and www.gamefly.com for USA customers
