You Can Now Rent PC Games Over The Internet

Published on January 01, 0001 by Chef Mia

Here’s a novel concept: digital delivery store Direct2Drive is trialling an offer whereby PC gamers can download and rent a game. It works like this: you download the entire game from D2D, and pay $5 for five hours of playtime. If at the end of that time you want Yono all app

to buy the game, you pay the difference from its retail price. We’re unsure as to what happens if you decline that offer – presumably the game is “locked” – but we’ll check with D2D to find Yono all app

Sadly, only four games are currently being offered as part of the deal (Silent Hill: Homecoming, Grid, FEAR and Divinity 2), all of them older

games that you should be able to buy in full for not much more than the renting price, especially if competitor Steam is having a sale. Apply it to recent, Yono all app full-price games, though, and this becomes a great idea. An asking price of Yono all app $40-50 for a PC game can be steep if it doesn’t have a demo, so having the chance to try before you buy could help a lot of uncertain gamers out. UPDATE – Reader Lorne points out that streaming service OnLive – if you can get it – has a similar deal, only because it’s streaming you’re not downloading the entire thing to your HDD, you’re just downloading whatever’s needed for the stream.
