Game Rentals

Does anyone really rent games anymore? from places like Blockbuster or (Canada)Rogers Video? I went in today to see what was there, first time in like 3 years, and there was not much at all. the "new releases" were like a year old...so i'm just wondering if there are people who still rent games?

I have not rented a video game since I started working. I prefer to own and build up a collection :)

Haven't for years. Usually, I'll just buy a game when it drops down in price. Plus, some of the prices Blockbuster and other stores ask for to rent a game for X days is extremely high.

I'd rent but probably not from Blockbuster. If i did would prob go with gamefly. Don't like the idea of only having a week with it. Though thats usually all the time you need these days...

I haven't rented a game in a long time. Now I mostly just buy them. But, if a game is very short and i know I will really never play it again, then I do tend to rent it, but that is just very rare.

I know people (like myself) who rent from Gamefly and other online services for games, but not so much retail renting.

I'm in Canada, and there isn't any Gamefly type service here and I don't think Gamefly delivers into Canada, so I'm stuck with retail stores. There are some games that you can beat in a week and I want to play them, but i dont want to spend 60$ on them, but these stores have no selection, not current anyway, they might get games like Splinter Cell Conviction in a few months...but by then I've lost interest.

I rent games very rarely now. I rent when I wanna try a game out before buying, and no demo is available, or if I just don't think it's worth the buy price, and think i can beat it in a week. Both are very rare.

Actually, most of the time I do rent a game, I miss it after I return it, and buy it later lol. only a few times that didn't happen. It's usually way later, after the price went down a lot. I think the only game I rented this gen is Tatsunoko vs Capcom, but this I know I will not buy, I just don't like it at all.

The only times I rented out games were when N64 and Dreamcast came out. I just use PS Store for my demos.

I never rent games. I just buy them new with the help of price comparison websites.

I'll rent a game only if i'm undecided on actually buying it.

+ I get free rental coupons so it's worth it.
