    Where can I rent Wii games, its a pain in the arse just buying them and hoping for the best, much rather pay a fiver and give them a lash first.

    Yeah.. been dying to know this too. Seems to be the story soon after a console is released is that they wait a while until the market is well and truly saturated and games are plentiful til they start having them available to rent.

    But doesn't seem to be anywhere renting them yet.. but there's very few places i know of renting XBOX 360 games either. I don't think Xtra-Vision are yet, are they?

    I'm hoping Moviestar might get them soon. Might give them an e-mail to see if they're planning on incorporating them in sometime in the near future.

    No mention of it yet, thought they'd be out and all

    guess Ninty are so busy shippin the consoles and games that the rental copies are at lower priority

    E-mailed Moviestar about it and they got back to me saying:
    We have actually finished with our game packages, as there was not enough
    uptake to justify the cost. My apologies about this.

    Ah well! :(

    Xtravision have been renting out 360 games for a few months now.
    took almost a year though!

    ye xtra vision took a year to rent 360 games and id imagine it will take that long if no longer for the wii,if at all. not enough titles at the moment really. they are renting PS3 right away though.
