Poll: Do you rent games?

[Hazy]

GameFly.

I gave up on Blockbuster long ago.

If I'm not sure if it is good enough to waront permanent ownership then I'll rent it first.

If you buy console games (especially single player games with weak multiplayer) your dumb. Majority of games WILL NOT last a month, so why are you paying $60 instead of renting from Gamefly for $15 a month?

If there's games worth playing I will easily go through 3-4 games in a month. Again why would I pay $60 a title when I could rent a copy indefinitely.

 

[Jandau]

Yes, but none of the options really appy since I have no idea what "gamefly" and such are supposed to be. Local video stores are usually well stocked with games for most major platforms and the price is quite low.

Considering that the average so-called "AAA" title has around 10 hours of actual playtime in it, I can just rent it over the weekend and save myself a LOT of money by NOT buying the overpriced stuff. The games that actually provide some decent playtime (anything bellow 20 hours doesn't count as decent) I can always buy when the price drops a bit.

It also helps that I'm on good terms with the owner of the video store so if I "extend" a rental a few more days every once in a while I don't get slapped with a fine or anything.

When I had money I bought every games that I played, now though I only rent.

 

[Hybrid Sight]

I usually rent most games that I want to play, unless they are the sorta game I can't beat within a week.

 

[rokkolpo]

nah i don't.

never did never will.
i borrow from friends though.

 

[TelHybrid]

I used to rent until I ended up getting 3 games in a row so abundant in scratches and smudges (thanks to previous rentees being idiots who don't know how to look after a disc) that they were damn unplayable.

 

[maddawg IAJI]

Yes I do, but my local Blockbuster is going out of business so I need to find another place to rent them from.

 

[Argtee]

I used to rent games a lot.

I don't rent games anymore. I was thinking about renting the SAW video game.
I decided not to.

 

[ElTigreSantiago]

I don't have a place to rent games, and I'm not going to pay for GameFly. I use a website that let's you trade with other people.

 

[gamefreakbsp]

Nope

 

[ranasan]

As the great mastershake said, "I don't want to rent I want to own!"

 

[Lamppenkeyboard]

I am still at home (and in high school) so renting is the best way to get stuff. Probably will buy some more if I can get a job(in the foreseeable future).

 

[acklumos]

I only rent games that look like they might be good but I'm not sure about.

 

[Pimppeter2]

Yes, quite frequently. I enjoy reviewing games. Most of which I would never actually buy

 

[VinnyKings]

I buy my games. Just cause i'll probably replay them again and I want to do it at my own pace especially if it's a really good game.

 

[open trap]

i only rented once so thats not enouph for a yes.
