I enjoyed the rental days, but I've come to realize that I appreciate ownership even more. NES Complex summed it up pretty well. click to 3:37-3:53 of the video

Am I the only person in the world who never rented a game? I always feel left out when people talk about renting games. That idea was just foreign to my young mind. Rent games the same way you rent movies? People do that?

I've literally only rented one game in my life... WWF War Zone on the PSOne. Bought plenty of used games from places that did rent them when I'd go in to rent movies, but only ever rented the one game. Mainly because, although I love me some games, I kinda suck at most of them so it would typically take me a while to get into a game and get to the point of beating it so I just figured (and my parent's figured) it was more economical just to buy them (usually used).

On topic, my personal top ten systems would be...

10. Nintendo DS
--- I'm actually really new to the DS, so there's not much experience to base this ranking on. I like what I've played so far though and can definitely see this little systems climbing the ranks soon.

9. Atari 2600
--- Not a superb system really, but has a special place in my heart as it was my first experience with video games after finding a system and 20 or so games at a church sale one Summer/

8. Super Nintendo
--- Only briefly had a SNES back in the day, but loved the few games I had for it. Just don't have much experience with it and tended to play my Genesis more.

7. GameBoy/GameBoy Color
--- Excellent game library. Would probably rank higher if the systems had lit screens (thanks to Wiggy, mine now does).

6. PlayStation
--- This is another one with a special place in my heart as it was the first system I purchase with my own money (ie not from my parents or allowance). I save for a solid year working odd jobs for friends and neighbors to buy the system and put hours upon hours upon hours into playing a ton of different games on it.

5. PlayStation 3
--- I've always been a PlayStation type of guy, so I find the PS3 to be an awesome system. Great selection of titles, some of which rank as my favorite games of all time.

4. NES
--- All about the game library on this one. Probably the best selection of games of any system. Games were usually pretty simple, but it's hard to beat the fun factor of NES games.

3. PlayStation 2
--- Probably the system that I've put the most hours into. Got it on launch day (still have that very system and it still runs perfectly). Great game library to choose from and IMO, the last of the "game machines" (modern and next-gen systems seem to be about games and movies and music and twitter and facebook and youtube and yada yada yada.

2. GameBoy Advance
--- Awesome game library and a real treat to be able to take so many SNES caliber type of games on the go. I still play this one at least three times a week.

1. Sega Genesis
--- The Genesis will always be my favorite game system simply because it was one of my first systems and something I lost myself in many a time after school. Plus, I've always been a sucker for colorful platform games and it's hard to beat the Genesis in that category.

Here in my City there is a place that you can rent video games for new consoles (PS3, Wii U, Wii, PS2, Xbox), some people do that i don't like to rent them, prefer to buy the games. Back in the 80's and 90's we exchange games with friends for one week, after the week we have to turn the game back and our friend turn back our games to us. But never rent a game. So i'm with you :P

One of the great things about the big DS is that you can play GBA games on it too.

That system has so many great games that way. Both GBA and DS.
