So so so so so this. I have pretty much all the good technology in the house: the best TV, the best computer, the only laptop, all the consoles, and they all just take whatever they want without asking. I often come home from work, and find that my brother is on my PS3 or my mum nicked my laptop.SirBryghtside said:
It's not like I don't want them to use my stuff, but they just don't have the courtesy to ask, and I hate impoliteness. Sometimes I like playing Soul Calibur 4 together with my brother, or Super Smash, but if you want to use my console: ask dammit!
Aw hell no. We used to share, but me and my sis kinda hate each other now. And I will never forgive her, for two things;
I lent her my copy of FF7, without having finished it myself (not even finished disc1). I get it back quickly, and decide to play, only to find disc 1 missing. That was... 4 years ago. Thanks to her, I have a very expensive, but completely useless game, that I will never be able to play again.
My mum guilted me into looking past that, and then lent her my Kingdom Hearts. When that game disappeared, and she denied ever borrowing it, I went to her room, found the cover on her filthy, messy floor, and the disc, silver-side up on her bed-stand underneath garbage and a week-old plate. Thanks!
Thankfully she doesn't have a 360, and I've hidden my playstation games, so that shouldn't happen again. She has a ugly habit with just grabbing things from my room, just had to be done. >_<

Me and all my friends tend to share all the games we buy (as opposed to renting them). There is in general rarely more than one copy of any single game between us. Saves us a LOT of money. We only invest in multiple copies if it's something more of us really want or if it's a multiplayer-focused title. Beyond that, our games are like cheap hookers backstage after a concert - they get passed around and everyone gets a turn 
I have two brothers and one sister. The sister has her own PS2 and my brother rarely asks for games. The only one he ever wants to play is fifa 09. He honestly thinks its the best game ever, despite the fact its the only one he plays. As for my youngest brother he has a Wii and is perfectly happy with mario cart. So I guess my anwser is no I don't lend my siblings games because I don't need to.
I have a brother three years younger than me, who likes to think he's into gaming. He is one of the most obnoxious individuals i have ever met.
We used to share all our games, then gradually it became me buying my own games and letting him play them. Then, one afternoon, with the little brat and his high-pitched pre-pubescent little friends banging on my door and shouting loudly that they wanted the cd for the game i was currently playing (can't remember which one, but is was one that needed the disk), that i finally decided i would no longer share any games with him. Or anything, for that matter.
Smooth rolling ever since.

Sure, even though each one of us lives in a different city nowadays. When my sister comes to visit me, she sometimes plays my games, as I play my brother´s games when I´m visiting him. That´s just how it works (or should work) when you have siblings. My brother was actually the one who practically introduced me to gaming, back in the day when C64 was new and amazing.
Yeah, although I have to smack my older sister around whenever she plays my Wii- she leaves it on the middle of the floor in a tangled mess, usually left on. Actually, while I own the Wii and PS2, my brother owns our XBox 360, so he shares with me... Luckily.
Oh well, I buy half his games anyway.

I don't live with my siblings, but when I did, I never shared my stuff. It's all well and fine until you want to play and they are playing (damn the idea that you own the game and thus you have first rights to it) or when you are playing and then get harassed to let them use it. Add to that getting busted games or having them lose games and I finally decided to be a selfish bastard and say, "These games are mine, you will not play them." It became so much easier, they bought there own stuff and developed their own taste instead of just using my taste in games.
I say yes although the only reason my 16 year old sister ever wants to play is when she plays feeding frenzy w/ me on my 360, so I dont care.
Yes.I loaned my brother a copy of fallout 3 at the begining of the summer. Still dont have it back. This is making me change my rental policy
