If you go out and buy games for around $50 – $80 a pop, only to be disappointed… check out Game Access. This is a Canada only website that offers a monthly membership to rent out the games you want. They carry over 3000 titles and shipping is included in your membership.

Some of the cool features: There are different account levels, where you can have 1, 2, 3 or 4 games out at a time. These packages start at $9.95 for the first month, but for a base account you are looking at $17.95 a month (includes all shipping fees and returns). You can also get a 10 day free trial (or 15 with our coupon).

Some cool extras: for a little extra you can get a ‘fast return’ feature where they don’t wait for your game to arrive back, but they send you out a new one upon notification you mailed the other. You can also get a VIP reservation option (with coupon get this free for 2 months).

If you find you love a game you can also buy it from them, and get special discounts:

Here’s a coupon code for Gameaccess Canada, the online video games rental company.

• Coupon Code: safarir
• Discount: 15 day free trial
• Expires: Unknown

Normally you only get a free trial for 10 days, so this coupon code will extend that free trial to 15 days. It’s not much of a difference, but still a few extra days of video game fun!

You do need to enter your credit card details when you are signing up to the free trial. If you continue to use the Game Access service after the 15 day period, they will start to charge you their regular rental prices.

I think it’s a good idea to see what their service is like, and maybe try out a few games for free while you are at it.

Have you tried Gameaccess.ca? How did you find their service?

I emailed Game Access Canada to see if they could come up with any special deals for the Bargainmoosers. They have replied, with a few exclusive coupon codes for various promotions on their games rental site!

• Coupon Code: BM15
• Discount: 15 day free trial

• Coupon Code: BM2FOR1
• Discount: 2 game out package for the price of 1

• Expiry: Unlimited

You can only use one coupon code or the other, you wouldn’t be able to use both at the same time. Work out which coupon is the better offer for you, and apply it when you are signing up for your online games rental package.

Normally you only get a 10 day free trial, but the first coupon code above gives you 5 extra days! This would be a great idea to try out some games that you were thinking of buying. You can rent them for a few days, see if you like them, and perhaps buy them when you are ready!

As well as being able to rent DVDs from the likes of Zip.ca, did you know that there are online companies that specialize in video game rentals? Once such website is Game Access Canada. If you’d like to give it a try, you might be interested to hear that they do a free 10 day trial!!

• Click here to get your free games rental trial @ GameAccess.ca

You can sign up now, but just make sure you have a read of the games rental terms and conditions. Even though this is a free trial, you still have to enter your credit card details in case you decide to continue on with the video games rentals after the 10 day period.

If you return your games within the 10 days though, you won’t be charged a cent. If you are continuing your subscription, game rental packages start at $9.98 per month. There is free shipping too, so you don’t need to worry about costs to receive or return the viedo games.

I think games rental is a really good idea. It gives you the chance to try out some games, and if you really like them, just go out and buy them for keeps. Alternatively, if you try a video game and realise that you hate it, then you know that it’s one you never want to purchase.

Just one major drawback I’ve noticed on the site – they rent out a load of video games for the major consoles – but not for the PC! I’m really a PC Gamer at heart, so the service wouldn’t be of much use to me. I wonder if they will add PC games in the future.

I haven’t tried GamesAccess.ca yet – if you give it a try, I’d be really interested to hear your opinions.
