Well, as i'm sure you know, the second you buy a game and open it up, it's instantly worth 50% what you paid for it or less if you try selling it on ebay or trading it in at gamestop or something. So in a week when you stop playing that latest game, and have no interest in ever playing it again cause another new game has your attention, that old game will collect dust and be worth nothing. Renting though, I pay $12 a month and get to play as many games as I want, 2 at a time. I just happen to live by one of their distribution centers as well, so the games get to me much quicker than normal. So I figure, pay $60 a month buying about a game a month, or $12 a month, but I never actually own any games.
It's something to consider. Some enjoy just OWNING their own collection, for the pleasure of saying they own many games, but I had over 100 genesis games and near as many SNES games as a kid, so I think I'm over that, hehe.
