Really? That... sounds easily, deliciously exploitable.

 

Yup.  I've kept out some games that are good for multiplayer but I didn't want buy for myself (Red Steel, Mario Party 8, Mario & Sonic, MoH: Vanguard, etc.) for a little over a month so I could invite people over multiple times without having to re-rent them.  No real limits on how many you can get out at once, and no waiting for stuff to arrive in the mail.

With something like Gamefly I always feel pressured to play as fast as possible so I can make the most out of the monthly fee.  Blockbuster is always ~$9 for ~12 days or ~$11 for 6 weeks so I don't get stressed out over it.

Movies have a similar thing, we often get out 8 or so movies at a time and watch them over a couple of weeks whenever we feel like it, can't do that with Netflix limits.

Of course the real way to "rent" games is to buy used from GameStop and then return the game for a full refund a couple weeks later, free rental. ;>
