Getting tired of going to rent games at your local video store and then having to return them in 3 to 5 days? A new online phenomenon is changing all that: online rentals. Now renting a game or a DVD is easy as picking one out online and then having it mailed to you. Once you are finished playing it you simply put it back in the mail and the company delivers another one to you. For all this you pay around $20 without any late fees.

Yahoo! Games on Demand
A little bit different model here. Instead of renting games by mail you download full versions of PC games via a broadband connection. You now buy each game separately instead of choosing from different plans. You are able to download a trial version for most of the games in order to help make the best choices.
