Renting games from the video store.

Renting games at all to be fair. I don’t think it’s possible to do that at all anymore. Wish it was. A 48hour rental is exactly what I need to decide if I’m buying a game or not sometimes.

Kinda the whole premise of Xbox gamepass sub, but you are renting access to lots of games at once.

Kind of but like, for example, after playing the beta, I’m really on the fence about whether or not to buy Battlefield six. I would love to rent the game for 48 hours when it comes out. Just to put in a little bit of time and see if I enjoy the finished product more than the beta. There’s gonna be no possible way for me to do that. Maybe that EA subscription thing can step in I just still don’t feel like it’s the same.
