I ended up renting the original Dead Space and finishing it within the rental time. I'm quite tempted to buy the CE for Dead Space 2, hoping that the multiplayer will add some length to the game's life span in my console. So are you buying or renting Dead Space 2?

Probably buying but don't expect longevity because of the multiplayer. It looks like something that will hold attention for only a couple days.

The Multiplayer looked sort of bad from the QL, maybe they fixed it a bit since then but I wouldn't expect it to prolong the life a whole lot. I will probably buy it, maybe not as soon as it comes out though.

Go for it. Just remember your mom will hate it. Also, I still have to finish the first one so I won't be buying it anytime soon.

I love when Single Player games shoe horn in a shitty multi player mode that no one will play a couple of weeks after the release.  That said I can't wait for Dead Space 2.

rent 
 
the multiplayer wont be good enough reason to keep playing it

As someone who played the ps3 beta, I can say the multiplayer is kinda shitty.  
 
As for buying the game, I'm going to wait a month for it to be $40 like every other game nowadays.  

Buying it. Just because I could finish it within a rental period doesn't mean it's not likely to be worth the asking price. If it's anything like the original I'll be glad to have it in my collection to return to.

This question would  seem better suited as buying the regular edition or renting it. I mean, if your thinking of buying the CE edition, I would take it you really like the game and Dead Space in general. If so, get it. If your basing it on the mp (for some reason), just rent it...i guess. Or maybe just buy the regular version.

Buying. Even if it's as short as the original it's still a game I kinda just want to own. Plus I completed Dead Space around three times before I was done and I'll hope that the sequel will give the same amount of motivation to get back in once the games finished.

I'm definitely buying it, I haven't rented a game for years.

..Dead Space? I don't know what you'd consider long, but the first was under 10 hours for me, with it taking around 5-6 hours on any consecutive playthroughs. "

The multiplayer looks horrible. I wouldn't buy it fot that.

I really liked the first game, and will probably buy Dead Space 2. The multiplayer honest doesn't interest me that much though.
