DVD rentals from Redbox, in case you are unaware, cost a cool dollar per night, and are easy to pick up and easy to drop off. These Redbox units hang out at Walgreens, Walmarts, and McDonalds all over the country. For video game rentals, you will find yourself paying $2.00 per night, which for long term, would be a bit steep. But imagine if you could rent the game for one night, test it, and then go buy it if you like it. I have, more than once, bought a PS3 game only to decide I hate it. My only recourse is to trade it in and take a 50% hit at Game$top. I would much rather pay $2.00 extra rather than loose $25 on a trade in.
Right now, you can find game rentals in Reno, Nevada, and the selection is slim. I am sure they are testing how many games are rented, stolen, damaged, and lost. If the test goes well, I am assuming we could see a coast-to-coast roll out by the end of the year.
