| Re: Do you think it is a good idea to rent?
I haven't rented a game for years, but I do think it may be a wise course of action if someone is just not sure about whether or not he/she should plop down a wade of cash on a game. Recently, I had purchased the Wii's Mario Party 8, due to a friend's recommendation, only to quickly return it the next day. I sure wished I had rented a copy (or borrowed from a friend) rather than take the chance that the store would not take back the game.
Growing up, I rented games all the time. Of course, those were the Original Nintendo (NES) days, and it felt worth it. Since so many of the games were built around repetition (even more so than today's standards), a weekend playing a particular choice was plenty. |
