I would never let them borrow a game simply because it's a GAMEArayis said:
unless it's a game i never play but otherwise Games that i bought are mine and Mine only if you want to play it then come over to my house and hope that i'm in the mood to let you !
I only lend and borrow from a single friend. I've known him as long as I can remember and I trust him.
i stopped lending games out when a friend of mine lent something i'd lent him to a friend of his eventhough he knew he was moving away like a week later...
I used to, but now I have lost 3 games recently as a result, one of them being Smash Bros Brawl, so as you may imagine I'm pretty pissed off. Now I only lend games to two of my friends, and no one else.
God I hate that. I lost two Megadrive games as a kid when my cousin did that. I would have beat him down, if it wasn't for the fact that he was five years older than me...DND Judgement said:
I don't lend anything to anyone ever since I lent my zombie survival guide twice. The first time, it was to a boy called Koty. He returned it two months later, and it was tattered as hell. The second time, it was to a girl named Cassie, and she hasn't returned it yet. Its been like... 5 months. If I can't trust people with a $15 book, I'm not going to trust them with a $60 game.
Last time I lent someone one of my games, he accidentally broke one of the discs. Fortunately I didn't care for it much (I regretted purchasing it). In fact, in general all my friends appeared to be complete dimwits when it came to handling games. One of them dropped my original Command & Conquer GDI disc on the floor and then rolled over it with a chair accidentally, one of them borrowed my holographic Majora's Mask cart and then moved away... yeah. I really don't trust other people anymore (no matter what it really is).
My Guitar Hero has been in someone elses dorm room for 3 weeks so far. He can keep it 'till I get my laptop back (it's in for repairs). I also gave him my gamepad, but he hasn't been using it, so meh.
Then someone else in my dorm has my Settlers II Anniversary copy, and I got my Rome: Total War back from him as well, 2 weeks ago.
Yeah, I trust people pretty easily. They know how disappointed I would be if they'd let something happen to something I've lended them.

I tend to be a little more trusting than I should. Whenever anyone asks to borrow something, I just let them.
I lent my neighbour Final Fantasy VIII when it first came out and I had finished it. He lost the instruction manual, I'm not sure what everyone is like but I freaking LOVE the instruction manual on games, I have no idea why but I love reading it to remind me of the game as opposed to spending 5-infinity hours replaying the game.
I do remember back in the early 90's I leant my copy of a Mickey Mouse game on the Sega Master System to my neighbour (and in turn he leant me his copy of the other MM game on the SMS, that's how we did things back then... we didn't lend, we had to temporarily swap). This 'swap' lasted for about 5 years and we only swapped back when they moved away. Our MM game was better :-D

Generally no. For some reason I get paranoid about people borrowing anything. I do remember lending some Gamecube games to a friend. I gave him the memory card too so all the Super Smash Bros characters would be unlocked. When I got it back, he had deleted my Legend of Zelda game. I was pissed. Plus the games I have the most of, Pokemon, only have one save. And of course those are always the ones people seem to want to borrow.
A friend of mine dropped his XBox and all his games at my place over a year ago so we could play some games together. He never picked it up afterwards. He comes by all the time and we occasionally play Ninja Gaiden on it but he never wanted to take it home with him again.
I'm thinking I have three friends I would lend games to without any worries because I trust them. Everyone else I know is iffy. I'd probably set up very specific rules for them.
