nope cause i refuse to not only pay for those prices to rent games i already own or can own for a much cheaper price then it is to rent it and also i outright boycott any service that forces me to have an always online connection to play single player games

Back in my day, I was ecstatic that I could pay $7/5 day rental of any game at my local blockbuster.

Well back in our day (I too grew up renting games at my local BB or other video store) there was more overhead and a limited supply of games available to rent so prices were naturally higher than a digital/streaming model should be. Besides, back in our day, individual games were more expensive anyways. Video game pricing just sucked compared to today. I don't wish a return to those days on anyone.

Sony needs to lower their prices before I would even think about using it which I most definitely want to for some of the classics that reside on PS Now.

Prices were the same at release (higher counting inflation) and the cost of servers and maintenance teams is comparable to the overhead of running a store. While I don't disagree that prices are too high for older games, renting is not meant to be a replacement. In fact, if they didn't have 30 or 90 day options, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
