Forums - Gaming Discussion - How much money have you saved in this Gen by borrowing games?

It'd be hard to say for sure, but I probably spend $150 ~ $200 per month on average on videogames. Every now and then I do rent a game (Evil Within, Mario & Rabbids, Doom PS4), but most games I buy (many new, some used).

I don't have any friends, so I don't have people to borrow games from

That's not what I heard ;)

I learnt my lesson as a kid.

Don't lend stuff to others because they abuse the fuck out of it and damage it.

Therefore on that principle I don't borrow because others would expect the same even though they most don't know how to take care of a game.

So much this.

I would only borrow/lend from/to my brother, which I did lots of times during 7th gen, but not anymore.
He pretty much stopped gaming and I started earning money, so not a huge loss for me.




Benefit of marriage is all the games I can borrow and try out. Saved me hundreds in past few years.

Around $200 give or take for PS4. If the game ends up really good I buy a copy, otherwise splitting the cost for just ok games works out well. With DLC it makes borrowing harder now.

There are game of the year editions tough, i borrowed Resident Evil 7 from my brother when that game came but now i got the Gold Edition with all the DLC on the disc so he can play it too haha

Ya, depends how long you may have to wait for the full DLC copy though. What I was saying was more so that if you borrow a new game and really like it, but it ends up having DLC, you almost have to buy a copy yourself, or you have to wait for your friend to finish the DLC before you get another crack at it. Unless they are totally done with the game for good, whether they don't like it or enough time has passed since the DLC, then it doesn't matter.

I don't borrow them, but i've saved a ton trading them for other games that i wanted, on GameTZ.
