I think most people renting it are people that are new to the series. It doesn't have as mass of an appeal as GTA and therefore i think more people are wanting to see what its about instead of buying.
@1.1 I think you have a point there. We've been trying to work out why MGS4 has been No. 1 since we started doing these charts with GameFlirt, because we would certainly buy rather than rent it. MGS has always been one of those games that is just that little bit harder to get into for the average gamer, so maybe that's the reason.
I plan on buying GTA4 right out tomorrow morning. I hate pre-ordering things and feel it's unnecessary...
But MGS4 changed that. I didn't want any chance of not getting my game first day, and the added beta key that was revealed afterwards only made it sweeter. It was my first pre-ordered game..and it was very gentle.
