Games are expensive I would rent them if the service was cheap.


Ya i know their expensive and all but its better to share the game and be able to have it forever and sell it when the game is rare. renting that doesn't happen

Well, I rent a game, to see if it is good, then if I like it I will buy it, so both.

Family Video is a good place to rent games, cheap prices too. But I can't rent things from there because when I was younger I never returned some games and the prices you have to pay a lot of money to be able to rent again. The thing was under my parents account. I guess I'll have to wait a year or two so that I can get my own account there.

Renting is a great option when you would like to test out a game. Also, game fly is good too because once you beat the game you can return the game for another game.

I prefer renting over buying.
And I can give a real good example:
I have watched in 1 month a lot of interviews, technical stuff and other things about Crysis 2. I felt in love with what I've been hearing.
If I had the possibility to rent it before buying, I wouldn't have spent a fortune on that game.

Renting is good to get a first impression, and a second one
And if you like the game really much, you can but it.
So obviously I'm for renting hehe.

Usually I buy, but when all me and my brother got for Christmas or our birthday was those cheaply programmed $20 Wii games (Mario games have always been good, though), I would kind of want to sell them.

Mario is kinda old like for those noobs who want to collect all Mario items I don't like Mario that much

I would have to agree with some people about renting it first and to see if it sucks or its good game. So i would probably choose rent.

When I see a game like CoD or Halo, I will buy it straight away but with new games that have no founding games, I will probley rent them, to check to see if they're any good.
