Does the idea of renting a video game console before buying it appeal to you? Why and why not? And if you currently rent a video game console, what do you like/dislike about it?
As a kid, I always wanted to that, when we went to Blockbuster, but my parents would rarely let me due to the cost ($20 or so iirc). I think they let you rent one game free with a system, but I can't remember.
Renting systems is a great way to figure out if you like it before you ask for one as a kid. These days, with online subscriptions and giant patches, I'm not sure if renting a system is practical. Can you still rent consoles?
Renting a VR headset might be a great choice in the future if Gamefly or something ever does it.
Well, many years ago, my brother and I put our money together and rented a Nintendo 64 for two days. The only game we rented was Mortal Kombat Trilogy. At the time, we were HUGE Mortal Kombat fans. Ah, the memories. I don't know how that would be done today, but I think it would be good to bring back the console renting feature again. It could help determine which console is right, for you.
