Realizing this entire argument recently I was rather surprised to think about how literally NO ONE does console rentals anymore it seems (besides "Rent to Own" shit that is obviously terrible) - after seeing so many comments on TLOU and such recently about people saying "Well, I'd love to play X but screw buying a console for just one game" it seems a rental for systems would have a certain draw to a hardcore crowd if it included a guarantee to have X/Y/Z game with it. [Say rent a PS3 + TLOU for 1 month for $30 or something - system + game investment would be paid off by the company in under 12 months or so besides overhead, $60 for a "nextgen" system and a game, etc (remember, $60 for 1 month is like how much most AFTER OWNING the system would pay for a game, price seems appropriate in a hyopthetical)]
Wouldn't have to money to get it started right without going into money I shouldn't this generation, but assuming someone hasn't picked up the flag by the next "nextgen" - I may just invest in setting something up a business to take up that flag in 2020 or so when they come.
But it's all just theorycrafting as I said - just some of the weird musing that I do while showering. Some people masturbate, I think "Hey, why is it that I can't rent a XBOne if I really wanted to screw with DR3 but not wasting $500 on the system anymore?".
That stuff still exists. The reason you think it doesn't probably speaks to how popular and useful it is.

I don't really understand the next metal gear solid, is the game $20 and 2 hours long? is it a preview for the real game or something? i get confused by these videos talking about it. otherwise looking forward to these games, probably PC for most of em. gonna be interesting to see TitanFall vs Second Son, which will move more units since both come out around the same time...
Try 1.5 hours long and $30 on the X360/PS3 and $40 on the Xbone/PS4.
It's basically Kojima trying to sell the Tanker level of MGS2 as a full game and pricing it outrageously.

But.... I really didn't need another reason to hate the MGS series. The writing alone was more than enough.
And yeah, from what I've read it's like Kojima's version of GT5 Prologue, right down to the rumor that there's going to be just as long of a wait between the release of Ground Zeroes and the real MGS5 as there was between GT5 Prologue and the real GT5.

I just heard it was 2 hours long and came here to post how bullshit it was. Voting with my wallet on this
I'd honestly be totally okay with paying 10-15 for it, since there's a few hours of gameplay at least and there's more than just the main story path. I'd even grudgingly be okay with $20 for it.
$40 for it just royally pisses me off though and it's absurd that they are charging that much for it. Hopefully hardly anyone buys the $30-40 versions. I'm sad to say that I will be one of those people, just because I'm fucking desperate for PS4 content.
X360/PS3 Digital - $20
X360/PS3 Disc - $30
Xbone/PS4 - Digital - $30
Xbone/PS4 Disc - $40

Would've been awesome if instead they put the prologue as a free PS+ title to get people excited for the real game. Too bad japs seem to have no idea what people want anymore.
