Topic: Do people even rent games anymore?

[manunited4eva22]

Well in general blockbuster has just stopped buying a lot of games.  I see mostly games that had been there for atleast the better part of a year, so to me it's all kind of a waste to call this a boycott of nintendo.  It's just a boycott of good business sense.

I still see some kids borrow N64 games

i rent GCN games every fortnight. Unless its really  a good one like metroid prime or WW.

I rent games likes MK DD  and wrestling style games when my brother in law and his wife come over because they are fun to play with 4 people. I just wouldnt play them enough to buy them.

If you keep doing that then you should have bought them.

I don't rent a lot of games, because A)  It's too expensive and B) I never get around to it and C) For only twice the price it costs to rent a game, I can buy a used game.  I recently picked up Splinter Cell on PC for $10!

Honestly that is my dilemna with video game rentals nowadays.  On the N64, I rented a lot because it was rare that I could manage to save 50 or 60 USD for a game.  When Perfect Dark came out, I rented that thing three times before a bought it and then I came to the revelation that I should have just bought it from the beginning.  As a result I tend to use reviews as my guide for games I'm unsure about.  It works pretty well with only one mistake this gen- Turok: Evolution.  Damn early release!
