Just a .02$ story about renting from about two years ago. I never really rented before this but was making enough money finally to say 'eh what the hell.'<p>I rented three games in a row from the local hollywood video for my 360 that were unplayable in some way. One was 'ringed' by another user, another was scratched just enough to lock up after the entry video and the third didn't boot at all. After the third trip back down the block to tell them 'hey this doesn't play either' I just downloaded the game and played it on my PC.<p>Needless to say, I haven't tried renting a game again.
