System Rental?
« on: December 09, 2005, 12:00:00 PM »
This may be a really dumb question, and if so go ahead and flame me.  But are there stores that rent the system or accessories??  I have the system and everything, but I want to rent a few more controllers for the weekend.  Is this completely out of the question?  I live in salem, OR.

not a bad question...my blockbuster allows rentals of games, systems, and accessories.. the money you have to put down on the system sucks though..so yes they do allow rentals of systems, you just have to look for the right places. call places up around you and ask them

I just got off the phone with a local Blockbuster store.  They were supremely helpful and informed me that the only stores with 360 games and accessories will be those with a Gamerush.  You may have to call around to find one.

Well a couple years back me and a friend went to rent a ps2 from blockbuster.  This was when they were 250 in stores, blockbuster wanted to put a $400 hold on my credit card in case something happened to the ps2, so I guess they were pretty covered.

blockbuster with a gamecrazy??  I thought that if a blockbuster had a gamestore in it, that it was always a gamerush.  And if hollywood video has a gamestore in it, that its always a gamecrazy.  I didn't know you could mix and match.

No blockbusters dont have camecrazy, he prolly miss typed that.  I love gamecrazy, they handle the xbox 360's as they should be, first pre orders are guaranteed theirs first and i pre ordered mine back in june so when they came out, i just went in at midnight and picked mine up, no waiting in line.
