When the Playstation was hot, I was poor. I couldn’t afford the system or the games. On weekends, me and the 3 guys I lived with would occasionally rent a Playstation from Blockbuster along with several sports titles and have a blast. Over the last few years though, Blockbuster has been lacking in their game offerings, and they haven’t offered console rentals at all.

Blockbuster is looking to change that now though, as they expand their game offerings. They are offering consoles and a wider variety of games for rental as they try to provide consumers with other options than movies, which Netflix is killing them on.

It’s nice to have other options for game rentals since the other video chains such as Hollywood suck at it. GameFly is an option, but it’s expensive and when I want to play a game, I want it now. I don’t want to have to wait 3 days to receive it. With the new options, it looks like I will have to give Blockbuster another chance to win my business back.
