Anyone know where you can rent Xbox 360 games? Perferably a place with a large selection. I believe I heard Game Rush (Gaming part of some Blockbusters) has them, but there are none near me. I don't want to subscribe to GameFly yet, although I'm seriously considering the 1 game plan.

Hollywood video are hit and miss, as they rent based on store size and volume. Some Blockbusters are now renting I have heard, but again they are hard to find.
There is a company called http://www.gameznflix.com/ that rents both movies and games, but their 360 quantities are small and wait lists long. However, tehy only cost 8.00 for their chapest plan.
I use Gamefly and have no issues at all. I had Fight Night on my list, and they shipped it yesterday. Takes about 3-4 business days to get a game from the West Coast, but I like the lag in order to give me time to play what I have (I am on the 2 game plan).
A little costly, but if you decide to keep (buy) any games, you usually get the $59 for 48 and teh $49 for $38. They send you teh case and instructions and have been running a promo with free shipping.

I go to my local Gamecrazy (Hollywood Video) in Berea OH. I'm signed up for the All Access pass that's $20 a month. I can take out 1 game at a time and keep it for as long as I like. 360, Xbox, PS2, PSP, doesn't matter. Plus you can get new releases as soon as they get them in. It's a pretty good deal.
They also have used 360 games at a good price. I've seen NBA 2K6 for $30, Condemned for $40, COD:2 for $40, Tiger Woods for $44, and so on. Give them a shot.

Since I don't have a Gamecrazy near me, I think i'll sign up with Gamefly. It's about the same deal. Around $22 a month for 2 games out at a time, delivered to you, keep them aslong as you want, and some really great prices on games.

I'm going to atleast try the free trial of gamefly. Zoboa doesn't have any problem with the turnaround. While one game is on the way, he has one game at home. 17 days? My ipod nano back in september went from China to my doorstep in under 3 days, with no extra shipping costs.
I will take gameznflix into consideration though.
