I would think an online rental video game store would be good for short little fun games that you can breeze through real quick. But longer games that take some time to get through (or sports games) I would think you would be just as well off going out and buying it if you like it.

Unless you like to spend ten hours a day playing a game I would think in the end the price of renting it on an online rental store would be just as expensive as just going to the store and buying it (and if you go out and buy it you will have it forever and can play it as many times as you want (whereas if you just rent it online you would have to send it back after you finish it)).


Online video game stores are an interesting concept but it's just not as practical as renting movies online because you can breeze through a movie in one setting (where as a game you cannot).

I think you would be just as well suited to just first rent a game through a blockbuster store and then if you like it go out and buy it. Instead of paying for a subscription to rent video games online.
