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?

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

We had an awesome rental store near my house called Video Synthesis. They rented games and travel videos. I remember them having a monitor in the window with Super Mario Bros. 4 (that's right, I called it that) playing all day long when they got their first Super Famicoms in. Their rentals were 1 week long. $4 per game, 3 for $10. Was a great deal, even back then. I bought my first Super Famicom from them. US SNES launch was about 2 months away, so they liquidated a few of their consoles since they'd have little value after that in the rental market.
I remember playing the US version of SMW and reaching 96 stars. We had no idea that 96 was it. The JP version doesn't give you the little star icon next to the number, so my friends and I had no idea whether we'd completed every level or not. We had assumed that 100 would be the total (seems logical, right?). It was both a relief and a bit of a let don't knowing that 96 was all there is.
