One blogger’s opinion about renting video games
A blogger from blogspot makes the case for renting video games online. The author offers four reasons for the rising popularity of renting video games, even though the market for buying games is ten times as large: convenience, cost, the ability to test games, and “time sensitivity.”
From what we’ve seen in terms of new members signing up for online video game rental services, it seems that the ability to test games is the most compelling, especially during peak purchasing periods such as Christmas or when a major game release occurs.
