Would you rent a game for $2 a day at a Red Box?
They'll be renting out Wii, PS3, PS2, 360, and DS games.

It's only slightly more expensive than Blockbuster. With them going bankrupt, this will be my only option, which won't be bad, I guess.

I would, if they had a place near me.

Maybe, as long as they're guaranteed not to be scratched to oblivion when we get them.

Well, this would've been useful a few years ago, when the local Movie Gallery closed down. I used to rent games all the time before I could afford to buy them.

Yes, but how often do you play the game for a full week from Blockbuster? I usually went 2 days then wanted to either A) Buy it or B) Burn it in a ditch.

I like this option. I haven't had a chance to rent in quite a while. Now I can actually try games again instead of check and guess them.

I'll rent a few, mostly because I need to download some of them to my 360 so my other copies will work again.

SURE AS HELL BEATS PAYING 20 BUCKS A GAME!

Probably not. I did gamefly for a few months a while back, and I didn't like it either.

I guess I see it as a valid way to try games, but I just don't think it's for me.
