Renting Games

[fatheroftwo]

I signed my fam up for gamefly a while ago. We have 3 consoles in the house so it really pays off. I don't remember the last game we actually bought at retail. It must have saved us at least $500 last year on all the games we rented instead of bought. I was thinking we know at least 3 other families doing the same thing, it just makes sense, renting is the new buying.

What do you think? with the everybody pinching pennies, Is renting the new buying for you?

renting is good if you go through alot of games, if not eat spinach.

More like renting lets you go through a lot of games, if you want. Yeah, we end up playing a lot of games where normally we wouldn't be able to afford to. But even if we only played a few games a year it'd be worth it. The way I figure it, we can buy 3 games for $180 or for the same amount use gamefly for a whole year and play as many games as we want.

We have a wii and xbox360 so by renting we can still check out all the games we want and then can keep the ones we really like, that's why I'm saying renting is the new buying.

Also our family eats a lot of spinach, thank you, popeye was right
