    Renting games?

    I live in Toledo Oh. and I ren't alot of non sport titles at Family video! One thing I have noticed with most of the stores around here, they get one or 2 copies of a new xbox game {ie:March Maddness} and 6 to 8 copies of it on ps2!
    Is the ps2 that much popular? I have had one since it came out, but once I got my xbox, it has either sat at my mom and dads with my brother, or in the spare bedroom closet!
    I get so pissed when a game comes out, and I can never find it in at any store due to one copy or 2 at most!
    How are the stores around you?

    I don't rent videogames, well, sometimes just to play it. The stores nearby are okay.

    BTW, you triple posted.

                Why did you post the same thing three times?

                If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                            Go to gamefly. I think blockbuster has a similar deal where for $20 bucks you get to rent so many games for a month. Problem with them is if a game isn't in, tough luck.

                            Problem with gamefly is it takes about a 9 days from the time you send your game in to the time you receive the next one. So if there's a new release you want make sure to send back a game soon enough. Still though for games that you won't play alot, if you buy three games that get barely 3 weeks of gametime that's $150 versus $20. When I rent non-sports games it allows me to beat the game and send it back without losing my wallet. For sports games it's a great rental system. I rented Top Spin, Links, Rivals all to see if I wanted to buy them. The old me would have spent $150 bucks on all three games and be out $50 by selling it on ebay. This way I only lose $20 a month and the time it takes for them to process my game order.

                            Great service!!!!
