I tend not to rent games...I don't know why exactly...I guess I don't feel comfortable shoving in games in my console that were in the hands of other people... I just buy em.

I have Gameznflix. The turnaround time is about a week, which is workable. Plus, I was able to pay for half a year (1 out at a time) for $56.

True...but, I'm pretty damn picky...I tend to read up on games, get bit by the hype bug, and then make a purchase. The method to my madness works about 50% of the time :D

i buy/rent very rarely lol ... i just sit around with my oldie but goodies.

EDIT: I realize that i either buy cheap games that look fun...rent games rarely...or buy games that have a high success rate or have a lot of hype backing it up (the halo series,splinter cells only cuz i like em, fable, POP series) things like that

I rent from gamefly. 3 at a time. It's the only way to go. 35 bucks a month or about $410 a year! That's about like buying 8 games. But, I generally go through a game in a month, so it works out for me, plus you get to play all the games and try them out. You would be surprised at what games you like when you get to play them all.
