GameRang, now defunct, was an online video game rental service that provided game titles for multiple platforms, including handheld consoles and mobile devices.
GameRang operated its rental service similarly to online video rental services such as Netflix, Gamefly, and Blockbuster Online. Members paid a monthly fee and received video games delivered to their homes via United States Postal Service First Class Mail, using pre-paid mailers. Subscribers held the games as long as they wished and returned them at any time as long as an account was active and in good standing. Once the returned game was received by the distribution center, the next game on a user's Game Queue, which was a list of game titles prioritized in order of desired delivery, was sent. Members also were provided the option to purchase games they rented rather than send them back as well as being able to purchase new and previously played games directly from the GameRang website.
GameRang was ranked No. 2 on TopTenREVIEWS' list of Online Video Game Rentals, and site editors previously indicated that "GameRang has one of the largest and most comprehensive game libraries on the internet and with just a little more innovation, this service could be a real force to reckon with."[1]
