unless it a "EPIC QUEST" type game, i dont care about the story of some jerkad whos shooting other asshats to get back a emerald that can be used as part of some MEGA WEAPON.

Other than that, well, yeah, It's kinda pointless. Maybe it's a good "try before you buy" deal, but don't even dare to rent a RPG via redbox.

So, you will want to buy a game only if you want to play it for over 2 weeks (let's say a long game, a sandbox or a online game). For example, Dead Space and Bioshock are short games (you can beat it during a weekend).

Save $$$ and eventually the kid stops asking.

I can see if you were going to just try the game for 2bucks then buy it that could be fine. The target audience for this type of thing is probably not that type of person though.]]>Aug 16th 2009 4:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/Aug 16th 2009 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/Aug 16th 2009 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/Aug 16th 2009 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/Aug 16th 2009 4:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/Aug 17th 2009 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/Aug 16th 2009 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/
Not to mention, 1 night is not enough time to enjoy a good game.

That's a horrible deal! My Blockbuster offers all video game rentals at $.99 for a one day rental - get it at noon, it's not due until 10pm the next day. Who the hell is dumb enough to pay $9 for a five day rental?]]>Aug 16th 2009 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/Aug 17th 2009 2:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/Aug 17th 2009 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/

on another note, I think this is fairly decent, I have a relative I play Golf ( Wii, Tiger Woods) with and this would be a cheap solution to golf with him over internet for a day! Not Bad!! :-) (Assuming Tiger Woods comes to RedBox) I'm sure it will, pretty popular as a great Wii game alternative to the "stock" Wii Golf"]]>Aug 16th 2009 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/Aug 16th 2009 5:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/Aug 16th 2009 6:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/16/redbox-debuts-2-video-game-rentals-pretty-lean-on-titles-thus/the other isnt an anagram.
Just funny.
And the fact that you think what other people think about me, is laughable.
But hey continue to eat yourselves to death. Look up 5 year old Mcdonalds Hamburger.
The fact that youre pissed about ANYTHING let alone trolling is a step in the right direction, no go educate yourself and do something with it.
