I don't understand the people who don't understand renting games. It's the same concept as Dvd's. You rent movies to see if you like them enough to buy, and they only cost $15-$20 per dvd to own. I cannot imagine that you BUY every $50 game that you want to try out. I have played so many games that are crap (and BOUGHT a few expensive games that I thought I would like, and DID NOT - I loved Dark Cloud #1, but #2 blew ass....that was $50 I could have spent on....well, a LOT of things. (and don't give me the "You can resell them" crap. You get MAYBE $15 (if you are lucky) for a brand new game that you just bought for $50. You could have only played the game once for 20 minutes - but the fact that it is out of the wrapper makes it depreciate by a TON.
If you all have random $ to waste, rock on. I have no problem with that... Or if you are the kind of gamer who only sticks w/ what they know they are going to like - sweet. I respect anyone's game choices, but some of us like to try all kinds of different games to see if we will like them or not. I never would have thought that I would have liked the game GLADIUS - but I got hooked upon renting it one rainy day then went and bought it once I returned it. I have started and finished the game probably 3 different times, because if I wait long enough for it to be fresh again...it ROCKS to start over. But, I tried it first. And it was a game I never would have just up and bought on a whim for $50. I don't think this makes me less of a gamer, and I don't think NEVER renting games makes you any more of a gamer.
The kid asked where he should rent, not whether or not it's a stupid idea.
They even let you pay off any late fees in $2 incriments.
