The video game thing I only realized when I got a Switch OLED. I hadn't rented from Redbox in a long time, but was looking for a way to rent and play Switch games before I bought them, since I haven't had a Nintendo console in many many years, I didn't know what was worth it for me to play as far as the more expensive games, and I don't have the money to waste on a game that I wouldn't want to play. I ended up with Gamefly. When it comes down to it, I do wind up spending more if I buy the game after they send it to me, because of the membership fee, but I see it as paying for the convenience of getting the opportunity to play the game first before I chose whether to buy or not.
