SchollA from consolecontrollus.com writes- So I got to thinking and I started wondering although great services (in theory), are renting games still a viable option?
...Now some years into this generation of gaming as single-player stand alone titles are going the way of the dinosaur and DLC and Multiplayer have almost become standard, you can add to that now the online pass, (which makes you pay a fee for not purchasing a game new) it begged the question why rent? I look at a couple of things while considering this.
GameFly Sale PS4 games has lots of 2018 and 2019's most popular titles available a steep discounts. Last minute shopping pays off sometimes.
Want the Netflix of games? Well, Netflix isn't even the Netflix of Netflix anymore.
It's inevitable. Gunna evolve and improve over time just like consoles, vr, etc...
GameFly has launched its Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2019 sale.
Yes for does who don't care for dlc or multiplayer, not to mention not all game require a pass/online pass so ppl still can game online.
Thats the point to prevent renting and buying second hand.
renting games saves you money
i have gamefly and just last weak help me save 60 on dead island .
renting is still viable
I have recently gameflied Dead Island, LA Noire, God of War 3, no more heroes heroes paradise. I will be renting ICO and shadow of the colossus collection, god of war origins, house of the dead overkill, silent hill hd collection, dark souls, kinect sports 2, and more.
Thats all on top of the games I will buy. IF I really like a game that I rent I will buy it new when it comes down in price if there is compelling dlc available.
having options as a consumer is still a reality, but perhaps not for long
oh yeah I'd like some bubbles back if possible, thanks
