I have been considering signing up with one of the Internet/mail video game rental services such as Gamefly, sicne I'll have my PS2 next weekend. what I'm wondering is whether anyone has had an experience with them and can tell me whether they are actually worth the effort.

My main concern is that wouldn't they just send you the disks only, not the instructions, which would make playing and learning the game even harder than it is already?

i have used them & found some of them to be ok, stay away from games'n'flix as EVERY game i added to my list was on a wait!
i also used gamelender which i could get 5 games at a time this was a good service & although i had to wait for some of the newer games the majority of my list wasn't on a wait.

it is true that you dont get the instructions but some rental sites allow you to view them online.

it beats paying movie stores $6+ to rent a game for just a week as you can keep them for as long as you want, so long as you keep paying them :-)
