No the title is not a typo, LoveFilm for those not in the UK is an online film rental service. That is, films AND GAMES :O

You see, I was watching Pach-Attack on GameTrailers and the first question of the week was about Gamefly.
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/episode-115-pach-attack/65318

Here he talks about it not being worth their while for film rental companies such as Netflix in the US to rent out games but a smaller company called GameFly does exactly that.

But here in the UK we get both services in one place: LoveFilm

First question:
Do you use this service? (Use the poll)

Second question:
Now that you know that you can, will you?

Third question:
If you don't, why not?

A bit more context...
A while ago some life insurance on me matured and I got access to it. First thing I did? Yep, go mental on games. Long story short, I got a warning from my bank and realised I was getting any and all games full price at launch.

Then I found LoveFilm. I pay around £20 a month for unlimited disks (movies or games) and have already made a saving by renting Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Bioshock 2 plus a bunch of movies instead of buying at launch.
Awesome? I think so.

EDIT: Does all consoles, handheld too, but NOT PC and there are no late fees (silly I didn?t mention that, because that?s why I use it) and they only get annoyed at you keeping it if you stop the subscription

PC games? Nope? Don't care.

Plus I play my games for +100 hours if I had to keep renting them I'd get annoyed. I like having a bigger collection of games than the game shop has and I couldn't give back decent games.

I want to own the software not rent it.

I typically play my games for longer than the rental period, so it probably wouldn't be worth it to me. I also like owning games, instead of having to get rid of them, so I rarely rent anyway.
