Pretty simply question. Do you buy games or rent them? Or are they mostly hand-me-downs.

I'm pretty cheap, so I typically rent games that have little replayability. With games I know I'll be playing for years, I'll buy them after their price has dropped. I don't have to play games early, do I? I sometimes receive games as gifts too.

I'm thinking about subscribing to a rental service called Gamefly. You pay like $6 a month (i think) and you get to rent up to 3-4 games at a time for as long as you want. I would use this method while also buying games I feel are worth buying. I think this is the most logical combination of buying methods for me.

What about you?

Steal from friends, family, enemies, and strangers. I don't discriminate from those I steal from so that still makes me a good person right? I think of myself of a modern age Robin Hood.

There's only been one reply before you. Am I supposed to reply to everyone???

I usually buy games, though I sometimes receive them as gifts. I rarely if ever rent games, and have never stolen a game that was available legally.

Yeah, I downloaded Mother 3. And I felt so guilty, I mailed Nintendo $10.

I buy them or borrow them from a friend if it's a game I don't have.

I download maybe one game a year and that will be one I was never going to buy.



Games that I plan to keep I buy at any retailer.



           

I have never rented a game in my life. I purchase them all. I try to get used first, but if the box is messed up and looks terrible, I buy it new.



Needed a multiple option poll (if that exists). I buy them or receive them as gifts, anyway.



I rent games and if I like them, I buy them.
