Renting over buying? I think so.

Every game i've ever liked that i've rented i've regretted not buying.

I don't rent games because I replay them months and years down the line because i like gaming in general.

 

Well see now, that's a nice part of having gamefly. They have a keep it feature so if you rent something from them and you end up really liking it you can just opt to keep it and they send along all of the original packaging and manuals for you too.

I had Gamefly for a few months. Its a great service and it'll save you a ton of money compared to renting from Blockbuster. But getting new games can be difficult. I had to wait like a month for Iron Man and that's not even a good game.

actually, blockbuster is the same rate if you abuse their terms of agreement.

Renting a game is ~$10 for 5 days. However, you can keep it 1 extra week with no restocking fee. After that, the resstocking fee is ~$2, but you can then keep it for another 30 days. So ~42 total days of renting for ~$12. Not too bad if you play games really slowly
