Just calm yourself, and don’t always worry about being the first person to get the coolest stuff right when it comes out. You’ll still get a chance to play with the latest games, and save yourself a bundle of money, if you buy your games at least a month or longer after their release date.

Or, if you have commitment issues, and like to have a new Wii game every week or so, then perhaps renting is the solution for you. You rent movie videos after all don’t you? So why don’t you rent video games?

If your going to be serious about renting games, don’t just stop at your local neighbourhood video store. You need to broaden your horizons a little. It’s always good to have a few places to turn to. There are a few online game rental companies where you simply pay a monthly fee, and then rent as many movies as you can play.

I don’t just think of how renting games saves me money over buying, but the good it’s doing for the planet as well. Yep, that’s right, you heard me, I said “the planet”. Renting should be right up there with the other 3 R’s of Reduce / Reuse / Recycle. It really is a reuse, since your sharing the same game with everyone else that’s played it.

Here’s another great benefit of renting games. You can stop trying to keep track of the games that are worth paying $50 or $60 for. A rental is usually less than $7, so who cares if you get a lemon. It’s cheap, and you can return it whenever you want.

One of the great things about games on the PC, is that anybody can develop games for it, and distribute them through the internet. That allowed all kinds of indie game developers to produce cool games, that the big companies wouldn’t take a chance on. A few consoles, are opening this avenue up on their machines as well. With the Wii for instance, you can download WiiWare games to play on your Wii. There’s some pretty cool stuff out there.

Do stay away from all those unlimited Wii download sites. They’re not really legal, and basically charge you to use download software that is already free. Between renting, WiiWare, and buying / selling Wii games on eBay, there’s already enough legit ways to get great bargains on Wii games.
