Global e-Rental went out of business, but we're keeping this review as it was for posterity.

Global e-Rental are primarily a DVD rental company who also offer a limited catalogue of games to rent too. With a total of 13,000 titles they are one of the smaller DVD rental companies (Lovefilm and Screenselect offer in the region of 45,000 titles).

Of the 450+ games titles on offer, 350+ of these are for PS2, the remainder being for XBox. However, we have heard complaints about slow turnaround times and poor customer service from Global e-Rental and believe that if you are going to go for one one the companies that offer games and movies then there are better choice s to be had. They are one of the most vilified companies for shipping scratched DVDs and such that we've come across. (see games and movies comparison table)

Prices: Global e-Rental do not offer a free trial for games subscriptions, however their tariffs are admittedly cheap. One game is £8.99, two: £10.99, three: £12.99, four: £15.99, five: £18.99. One game and one DVD is£10.99, two games and two movies at a time are £15.99.
