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.

Yea, that's the biggest issue I had with it. There were times where none of the top six games on my Game-Q were available, thus they were sending me games I mainly used to pad my list and weren't that interested in to begin with. Sometimes you'd see "in stock" yet still not get that game too.

 

 

That has been an issue for me but not a big one as I tend to purchase big titles and rent less hyped one so there aren't usually as many people wanting the games on my list.
