Xbox 360 Games: Rent or Buy


You can rent 2 games at a time for £13 a month - £156 for a year.

To buy Xbox 360 games new, they can be around £40, so thats 4 games for a whole year!

Whats your opinion and why?

50/50 rent some and buy some
If the game is good enough I want to play it for more than a weekend, also you can complete a game then sell it on . .that wasn't included in your calculations

I mainly rent games with my Lovefilm subscription as I don't play games that often anymore. Although the selection isn't too up to date and I will run out of possibilities soon.

Re: Xbox 360 Games: Rent or Buy


buy games, especially 360 games. Because when I am in the mood for some xBox live I cant help but pick up the game and play. My urges come and go. A limited time to play them would defeat the purpose of xBox live.

Maybe rent them first, and if you like them then buy them, once you can find the pre-owned versions. of course there is one other option, but it certainly couldn't be discussed here.

Well thanks for all your opinions, Ive signed up to a rental service and I think Ill rent for a month or so, then, knowing the games I dont like, Ill buy the rest!

Know what you mean about live... suddenly feel the urge to play a game
