Just like those DVD rental services there is now some for games, which mail you those right to your door step.

 I still don't understand how this works for us City kids, I live not far from at least 2 video stores...

 Its a good idea.  Basically concider this, you rent a game from Rogers Video, it costs $5.50 for 3 days.  x10 = $55.00

...in a months rent, to finish a game, you save half the price tag.

[Mr. Analog]

 Ah, I see.

[Lazybones]

 Also I find the local video store is almost always out of the good games.. I am sure it is much better on these services.

[Shayne]

 Actually...its 2 games out at a time, so it would cost you $110 for the same thing from your local blockbuster.

Concider this though, if your game gets lost during shipment, you are probably on the hook for it.

 Ooo... haven't even *seen* this one in stores: http://www.getgames.ca/product_info.php?pr..._id=1366&page=1 (I have Volume 1)

I suspect behind the scenes it's the same folks as "Zip.ca". Here's a bit of evidence, in their FAQ they forget to change "watch" to "play", so I'm guessing they used verbatim movie-rental wording from elsewhere:
