I think the rental program seems like a pretty good deal, but don't go there expecting to get a fair offer on games. They advertise a 65% margin for trades, based on retail price of the same game on the shelf. I took in Superman Returns (listed at $10), PerfectDark Zero ($20), Cabela's Trophy Bucks ($15-$20), Call of Duty 2 ($10). The blond guy with the beard offered $15 trade, $10 cash. I'm thinking 65% of $55 is more like $35, but my attempt at negotiation resulted in a huffy retraction of the offer. So they expose the margin and then low-ball. He said he would only sell my games for $5 each because I purchased them at a rental store. I think games are games, and the cover is of very little concern. But even at $5 each, I should have been offered $20 credit. I fully intended to buy two games. I would have taken $20, but instead I'll be taking my business elsewhere!
Pros: rental program seems good
Cons: very unpleasant low-ball approach
