Boomerang, the Netflix of Gaming
Boomerang is a video game rental service. You can think of it as the Netflix of video games.
It's very popular and a subscription would make a great Christmas present to someone who enjoys playing games at home.
Plus, it's a savvy choice too.
New video games for the PS4 and Xbox One cost between £40 - £69. They can be very expensive, especially if you're not sure what to get.
Boomerang offers various subscriptions, with a good one starting from £9.99 per month.
- 4 months subscription to Boomerang is the same price as just one new game.
How does Boomerang work?
If you remember LoveFilm, or Blockbuster by post, Boomerang is very similar.
You order a game and it arrives by post. You play it to your heart's content - and you can play it for as long as you like.
When you want to change it for another game, you send it back (free post) and order your next one.
How many games can you borrow?
This depends on your plan, which you can read the different options here.
A good plan starts from £9.99 and lets you borrow an unlimited number of games, one at a time.
Can you get the very new games or is it just the old titles?
You can get the latest titles with Boomerang, however there may be a waiting list.
Some subscription packages offer a priority pass giving you first access to the latest titles.
Boomerang is a great way to play lots of games you may not have otherwise bought - ones you were unsure about or simply could not afford.
Get a game and don't like it? Just send it back and swap.

Its brilliant for kids who get bored easily been with them over a year now saved over £1000 they even tell how much you have saved
Ive used them for 6 months now. Worth the premium membership for the new games if that's what you're after
I used these before until hackers emptied bank accounts most prob improved now this happened 2 years ago
Sounds awesome. Dave would love that. Not sure bout having another subscription . I will have a think xxx
Is this for any platform? My son is a massive gamer but on pc and ps4 and are they adult games or mainly kid ones as he's 22 xx
This sounds like something my other half would be into, i might even look into it as a birthday/Christmas treat for my gamer son's. Thank you for sharing
The title is misleading, its not Netflix of gaming, more like LoveFilm of gaming, waiting for DVDs to arrive in post. Netflix instant and on demand like subscriptions are cloud gaming platform services offered by Shadow.tech or many such more.
Not many game rental companies around anymore, so it's great that Boomerang are still hanging in there.
I think I'll give them a try and signup over the weekend..... I hope they have a large stock of latest titles, when I last tried them (10 years approx) I had to wait months for a title on my list. Hopefully the 21 day trial will be long enough to test drive the service!
Thanks Tom
Been with Boomerang for about 5yrs now. They are absolutely amazing! The customer service is really good too, I've had great conversations about the game I'm playing or the game I'm going to play. Just an amazing service and I highly recommend them.
Sorry for another comment but if you're like me that is impatient and want the new games asap then I highly recommend the priority teir sub because you're more likely to receive a new game on release.
