1 edit | Still a Convenient Option for Game Rentals I pay a monthly fee to Blockbuster so that I can keep one movie or video game for an indefinite time period. I use this almost exclusively to rent video games, as I have all of the major consoles. (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii) I was using Hollywood Video, until they recently closed.
There are other options available, but none of these are as convenient as a quick 5 minute drive down the road to grab a game, and their selection is very robust in my area. I stopped in this Tuesday and they had tons of copies of the new Call of Duty, which I will only play the single player part, and PS3's Uncharted 2, which I am currently playing.
Gamefly was terrible for me, as I am more into an "On Demand" business model. I want something now, maybe Batman, Dirt 2, or some RPG, but I don't want to wait 5 days or longer for it to show up in my mailbox if I am bored with the current game or it just didn't suit me.
This is what I am going to miss the most when Blockbuster finally closes their doors for good, which is very likely to happen the way things are going.
Edit: I found my own answer to the vanishing Blockbuster stores. Redbox: »www.joystiq.com/2009/06/02/redbo···rentals/ |

| It would be great if PSN would add rent-able video games or even made the latest releases, like Modern Warfare 2 available for download. I could see me burning through that 250GB /mo. cap on Comcast pretty quickly though.
