Tell me your not one of those people making fools of themselves to get the latest eye popping candy of a video game to hit the store shelves. Well, if you are, I'm the guy a few shelves back picking out two or three triple-A games for the price your paying for the shiny new one. Who do you think is going to have more gaming fun?
I remember when videos first came out on Beta (yes I am that old), that they were unbelievably expensive. Like around $60 to $100. Nobody bought new, as renting was much more reasonable. Not sure why movies started that way, and video games started by selling their product. But now a days, it makes more sense to rent most video games.
As much as I do like the convenience of having my own games rental store right in my neighourhood, I'm also the kind of guy hat likes to have a backup plan. Meaning, I rent games from wherever I can. Even if that means signing up online with those companies that ship games right to your door. You send the games back when your done, and they send you more.
I don't just think of how renting games saves me money over buying, but the good it's doing for the planet as well. Yep, that's right, you heard me, I said "the planet". Renting should be right up there with the other 3 R's of Reduce / Reuse / Recycle. It really is a reuse, since your sharing the same game with everyone else that's played it.
I'm sure this has happened to everyone here. You've all spent way to much money on a game, that does nothing buy sit at the bottom of your games pile, never to be used again. Well, the good news is that with game rental, that all goes away. You only waste a few bucks, plus the game goes back to the store in a few days, so it's not there to constantly remind you of your bad purchase decision.
One of the great things about games on the PC, is that anybody can develop games for it, and distribute them through the internet. That allowed all kinds of indie game developers to produce cool games, that the big companies wouldn't take a chance on. A few consoles, are opening this avenue up on their machines as well. With the Wii for instance, you can download WiiWare games to play on your Wii. There's some pretty cool stuff out there.
The way I see it, after reading this, there's no reason for you to ever have to pay full price for a Wii game ever again. You've got the option to rent Wii games from a whole bunch of places, or downloading some choice WiiWare games direct through your Wii. Oh, and I didn't even mention how many great Wii games you can find on eBay.
