just wanted to say I went to my local videostore in turramurra (blockbuster) and they had wii games for rent. Some of which I remember include mario galaxy, metroid prime 3, super paper mario, mario and sonic at the olympics, and harry potter (but there were many more).

This really only applies to people who live in sydney and near turramurra, which is probably no one lol.

I should probably check my local video stores to see if they rent out Wii games.

How much do they usually charge for them and how long do they rent them out for? Is it like the DVDs where new releases are 1 night only rentals or what?

I'm pretty sure that EVERY blockbuster has Wii game rentals.
I know mine and a few others have for about 9 months at least.

Last I spoke to them, they were all going to get them. As were video Ezy.

BB near me charges normal DVD rental prices but you need a $60 deposit per game.

I think it's best to buy the game from EB games and return it for a full refund within 7 days.

It's just a security thing. They have had people score 360 games from them in the past. You get it back when you return the games.

It's the cost of an overnight movie I think which is $8. I got super paper mario out today and it's due back Sunday, so I guess it's for 3 nights. But at my videostore they have a voucher which is pretty easy to get (you can download it straight off the net) in which you can get 1 overnight movie, and a movie equal to or less in value. so whenever I go I get either 2 dvds or a dvd and a game for $8. Today I got harry potter and the order of the phoenix and super paper mario for $8, hehe. And there's no deposit to rent games here either, and they've prob only got wii games in the last few months.

hey gipsey, if you you're thinking about going there, make sure you get the voucher off the net (you can get 2 games for the price of one with it or 1 dvd and 1 game or 2 dvds with it).

Here's the link: www.hotdockets.com.au/

just type in 2076 as your postcode and you should be able to find it in the list somewhere.

tbh, if you're not interested then don't read it, and especially don't waste the time to post here. I made the topic because I couldn't find any other suitable topic to post it in. I used the search function but it timed-out.

You could have had the topic as: "List of Video Stores renting Wii games" then started a whole topic on listing the video stores that do rent them, constantly updating your first post with new video stores.

Yeah, I think there is already a topic with a list of video stores renting wii games which I was trying to find but the search key kept timing out so after 10mins I just decided to make a new topic so anyone who is near turramurra could check it out.
