| Ail said: Don't DVD you rent start with a message telling you they are a rental copy that can not be resold ? ( i know that was the case for VHS, maybe it's different for DVD lol, I never payed attention). I'm pretty sure used DVD don't... Don't studio get a cut each time a movie is rented ? I figure they did seeing how every week we get reports of rental revenue and that revenue is usually added to the movie total revenue... So yeah in essence gamefly would get games for free and make money each time a game is rented, same for the publishers. No risk of buying too many games and noone wanting to rent them for gamefly, and publisher get a cut per rental so they don't loose on revenue either... Get that kind of rental model working and make it a lot more popular and people won't need to buy used games... That's the way it works for TV and radio. Each time a movie is shown or a song put on the radio the studio get a sum of money... |
Edit: I may be wrong about what I said.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
