Remember When We Could Rent a Videogame Console?

[Dre Space Age]

Wish I could rent a Wii-U and Twilight Princess HD to get Wolf Link Amiibo 20 hearts.

Edit....

False Alarm.

Looks like you can hack amiibos.

I'll be going this route for 20 hearts wolf link: Making Amiibo NTAG215s.

[Return of the Jedi]

Never rented a console...but there's still Gamefly

 

[feelosofer]

I rented a 3DO back in '94, what a waste of 20 bucks.

 

[N*E*R*D]

Very exciting experience renting a new console was. The 1st time I got a chance to play a Sega genesis or Sony Playstation was mind-blowing. Still remember playing tekken, twisted metal, and battle arena toshiden. Finally realizing I had near arcade perfect fighting game ports of mk3 and street fighter alpha.

Remember my parents renting the ps1 and raiden back in the day.


What y'all know about renting laser disc players

 

[Buckeye Fever]

There was a video store in my town where u didn't have to pay till u brought the game back.

And the had the best selection of snacks. Sometimes, I'd go in there just to get candy
