After a quick google, a fair few came up in Australia, (I didn't even know they did that here, thought it was US exclusive) wanting my business. It left me wondering if Microsoft have done similar deals in our country and if yes, how much of an advantage will it be for next gen? Massive? Small? No effect at all? Here's what I searched and what came up as results: http://www.google.com.au/search?safe=off&q=rent+to+own+xbox+360&oq=rent+to+own+xbox+360&gs_l=serp.3..0l5j0i22i30l3.551213.551661.0.552362.4.4.0.0.0.0.236.536.1j2j1.4.0...0.0...1c.1.12.serp.qugKgpsS5FM Let me know what you think. |
rent to own is different from the EFS. all cuurent system can already be rent to own from rent a center. the EFS is more akin to a line of credit, slightly different and a better deal.

So it has exsited for a long time for current and last gen systems. It wont have much impact, just another option for some people.
