Save up to 40% by Renting DVD's Online
If you are a movie fan AND a computer game player then most of the big online rental companies out there such as Netflix for movies or GameFly for games, will still force you to hit the local video store when you want to rent games or DVDs respectively. DVD Avenue is one of the few which offers the full rental service as offered by any video store, giving American renters the opportunity to rent both games and DVDs online, all under the same low monthly subscription package!
For those new to online game and DVD rental, the principal it works on is very simple. You pay a single monthly subscription fee which gives you unlimited access to the 25,000 DVDs and 600+ games available in the DVD Avenue catalogue. You build an online list of all the titles you want to rent, and can take out from 1 to 8 DVDs and games at a time, only returning them when you are finished with them as there are no due dates or late fees to worry about. The moment you return a DVD or game, the next available selection in your rental queue is sent out to you, so you always have a stream of entertainment landing in your mailbox. Easy!
DVDAvenue ships from Maryland so if you are in or around that area of the East Coast then shipping times should be good. It is always recommended to find a company with a distribution center close by to minimise the unavoidable delay as the postal services do their thing.
The DVD Avenue site is very easy to use, although the search engine throws up some obscure results sometimes. It would have been nice to see more 'beyond the call' features like Netflix has to offer and more game consoles covered as currently only PS2 and XBox console games are available.

What We Like About DVD Avenue
|
The combination of DVD rentals and console game rentals should make expensive trips to the video store a real thing of the past. Being able to mix and match movie and video game rentals up to a total of 8 titles at a time means you will always have a constant stream of entertainment landing in your mailbox.
What We Dislike About DVD Avenue

No free trial period and Gamecube, GBA and Dreamcast owners are out of luck. Other game and movie rental sites have more titles available for rental.
