** RedOctane no longer offers video game rentals. However, the company still exists and is focusing on their Guitar Hero products. Please see our current top services GameFly , Gamerang and GottaPlay.**

RedOctane.com is an average video game rental service. They offer over 2,000 titles for XBox, PlayStation, PlayStation2, GameCube, and Dreamcast.

RedOctane doesn't allow you to try their service for free before you sign up and doesn't offer any parental controls.

This service doesn't give you the option to purchase the video game after you rent it.

The RedOctane website doesn't include any video game reviews, so you'll have a hard time accurately predicting what a new game will be like.

Once you choose your video game, it takes three to four days to arrive. This is a long wait for a video game rental service—you would only be able to rent six or seven games a month.

We recommend top-ranked video game rental services instead, like GPlay and Gamerang.
