I used to back in the N64 days, but stopped when everything went to disc, because 9 out of 10 games I would rent wouldn't work, because they were scratched so bad.
Of course. So many 8-10 hour games come out this gen that buying them all is absolutely ridiculous when you can pay $6 and finish it.
Renting is much better then the SNES/N64 days because all games are saved on the console and not the cart like the majority of games for those consoles.

Yup, I feel the same way. I've got Gamefly, and it's saved me a lot over the years, in addition to letting me try out games I might have normally not have. Don't get me wrong, I still buy my fair share, but not like I used to.
growing p all the time. Back when all i had was n64 and games cost like $100 each. Or when i had a nes/snes and there just wasn't any places that sold game. Or they where way to expensive to buy as well. Once i got a PC thought like 12-14 years ago i have been playing PC 90%of the time since. Or my gameboys. Both of which are systems you cant rent games for. I think what i'm going to do is just rent the 1-2 360 games that don't get a PC version that i want to play. Like Brutal Legend.
Now i just buy games that have a fun multiplayer or that i know i will want to play for months at a time.
Well yeah! Some games are too short for a person to own, so you rent the game. Rent a game to try it out too if you're not sure you're going to like it.
