Gamefly instead of buying games? Or you can talk to me and I will tell you all about the game.

Adults generally buy games (no offense, bro), Whilst parents are cheap and will mostl rent games for the kids. The result of this is kiddy oriented rental selections at video stores.

Gamers don't rent games from Blockbuster, that's why. I work for Blockbuster, and our copy of Metroid Prime 3 sat on the shelf all weekend before finally being rented today.

It sucks, but Blockbuster is in the business of making money. Blockbuster has to buy their games at full retail price. With games at $50 and $60, a game has to be rented 8-10 times just for Blockbuster to break even. Next-gen games don't rent well, at least not in my area. My store in particular hasn't made its money back on ONE PS3 game yet.

Renting games at Blockbuster is a rip-off. Like everyone has said, get Gamefly.

And Wedge, brick and mortar stores will never go out of business. Mom and Pop stores might. Hollywood Video/Movie Gallery are on their way out. But Joe and Jane Consumer will always need the brick and mortar establishment. Netfliz and Gamefly are great and all, but some people just don't want to wait for the mail. In reality, digital distribution is the only threat.

I know what you mean, man. I tried renting the Darkness from my local Blockbuster and the one copy they had, had been rented out. The only one left was the one for PS3. Sucks. I'm also too broke to buy games.

Gamefly has a monthly fee. There's too much crap being paid for monthly. I can't do that right now. Not yet, anyways.
