Where do you rent game (pay per game not monthly)?

[coralfangs]

Just wondering
Any recommendation?

[Blu-ray Fanatic]

Where??? Ummmm. Blockbuster or Game Crazy. Where else???

[coralfangs]

blockbuster does not require monthly fees?! woh
haha, sorry, I've never rented games before but in recent months, I have bought a lot of games that I lose interest within 2 hrs into the game (ie ass creed, gta4, etc)
How much do they charge?

they don't if you go to B&M. they run like 6 or 7 bucks

little OT, but i didnt know 7-11 sold games. what is the world coming to?

Don't mean to stand out here but I love my PS3 too much to rent games that can be scratched or have dirt or whatever which can hurt the guts of my machine. I remember what rented DVD's looked like and I think the smoothness of my very well treated Bluray discs is a memory I want to keep

That's funny. I went into the new 7-11 by me and they not only sold games, but they had a sign on the door about Rock Band auditions or something.

Um, you know it's pretend Fisher Price toys and not real instruments right?

I, too, quickly lost interest in Ass Creed. Sorry, totally not adding anything to the thread, but I couldn't help myself

To be on topic, though, I use Blockbuster. Anymore, it's the only place I know of, at least around me, that still rents games. Depending on how often you're going to be renting, Gamefly may be a better choice. Blockbuster's gotten kind of expensive. I rented Lego Batman the other day and it was $8.55. For $13 with Gamefly you get one game at a time, but it's unlimited exchanges. For $23 you get two at a time with unlimited exchanges. So . . . it may be more worth your while to go with the online services.

Personally. I love Gamefly. There has been a couple of times where I didn’t receive the game I wanted a couple of times but usually I have a good back up. I share it with my Brother so we pay 12.50 each. I rent about 2-3 titles a month and so does my brother. The trick to getting the game you want is to have in your Q as soon as it is released on the website and keep it in there until it releases. It is first come first served. So if I have a game in my Q for 3 months and John had the same game in his Q for 2 months, I will get first Dibbs.

Thats very good to know! Looks like I'll be signing up for Gamefly! Thanks for the input.
