You have to rent with your credit card, so if you dont return it, you get charged for it.

You use a credit card and after 25 days the game is yours to keep. $50 isn't bad for a new game except you don't get the box or manual.

$2 a day for a video game is stupid. It worked for movies because you can watch them once and then return them. Games you play multiple times over the course of a couple days or longer and at the rate of $2 a day, it's actually going to cost you more to rent a game from these machines than it would to go Blockbuster. People will still use these machines because they think it's more convenient. Stupid idea.

Charging people more per day for a video game and still making people think they are paying less = Good idea (for them). If you know its a bad deal then dont buy it like all the rest of the smart people, but just think of the money these people will rake in from the stupid people and the people who just need a fast convenient way to play a game

I hardly ever rent games but Blockbuster seems like a good deal, It's like $8 and you can keep it for 2 weeks

You save .20 cents a day by going to Blockbuster. Fuck Redbox and Blockbuster. When Microsoft comes out with a Game rental via download both of these bitches will be blown away.

I haven't rented a game since I was 10 but if I did it wouldn't be through either of these places. I would probably go through Gamefly or something.

Scratch that. I don't rent games. It's too much of a hassle. If there is a new game I must have then I buy it. If it looks good but I don't need it right now I'll buy it on ebay or Gamestop.

Uhh, Rellik, if you keep a Redbox game as long as you keep a Blockbuster game, you would end up paying around $20 more than Blockbuster

$8 for 2 weeks from Blockbuster
$28 for 2 weeks from Red Box
