Title: Blockbuster rents Wii games...
Post by: BranDonk Kong on November 25, 2006, 06:56:56 AM
...just in case you wanna try any. $6.99 for 14 days (7+7 days extra with no late fees) is a pretty decent deal. They've had them since the launch. I rented COD3 and Madden, both are lots of fun with the Wiimote. COD3 if very intense, since you actually feel like you're pointing a gun now. They don't have all the games, at least around here they don't, but they've got about 10 or 12.

That's pretty damn impressive. God only knows how poorly BB represented the GC.

I think it all depends on location. The one near me had quite a bit of GameCube, but I've seen others that were a lot worse.
I wonder at what point in a console's life game rentals are most common? I tend to want to rent a ton of games early on because my collection is smaller, but then you'd have a lot more customers after two or three years.

Most of the Blockbuster/Rental stores I've seen in the past couple of years have had cheap knockoff GameCube titles and poorly re-printed copies of the front covers to display the games. PS2 games on the other hand...

I work at a blockbuster and we have Wii games up the policy for next gen games is a 5 day rental then you have the no late fees thing @ 7.99 + tax. Some people have already started renting Wii games and rarely anyone rents out PS3 games. And if you rent out a game you must have to have a valid credit card filed in your account.
