Board 8 > Have you ever kept a movie or game from a rental store?

(+) Yeah! (+)

the closest is my dad kept some movie from hastings. I think it was black dog or something. I don't recall the circumstances

I once kept a Redbox movie that I forgot to return. After so long they just charge you the full price of the movie.

Movies, no. Library books, there were several.

Yeah I have 42 from Blockbuster but uh that's because they went out of business.

i have a copy of The Prince by Machiavelli that never got caught by the system

never rented movies/games

library books I forgot to return a few lmao

One time we rented Princess Bride from Blockbuster but the disc was too scratched to play, so we brought it back to exchange it, but I guess they fucked up and just processed it as a return because when we went to return the replacement they gave us they wouldn't take it back and insisted we already returned it so we kept it. And then like a month later they shut down so they never had a chance to realize the error.

There was two separate occasions when rental stores had valkrie profile for ps1 and pikmin 2 for gcn

I seriously considered renting them and never returning them, nor returning to the store, because They were rare games, at least at the time.

He also once stole my library card and rented an entire manga series and then sold it to someone

I haven't done this, but I do have three Family Videos near me and I occasionally make the rounds to see what they have for sale. The movie and previous-gen video game deals can be stellar.

In the process, though, I've observed that people keeping their rentals is a common issue. I distinctly remember visiting my three FVs when Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver first began shooting up in value. Sure enough, the copies of both versions at all three stores oh-so-mysteriously vanished around the same time. My reaction:

If you're thinking "Someone might have bought 'em" - You could be right, but getting Family Video to (willingly) part with anything Pokemon or Mario is like pulling out teeth.

Yes

when they actually sold all their stock for a dollar because all three video stores in town had to close down around the same time

I got good and worthwhile things like SoulCalibur Legends and DBZ Harukanaru Densetsu. I still feel ripped off

Ocarina of Time came out a week before my birthday. I rented it right away, then got it for my birthday while I still had the rented copy. My progress was already on the Blockbuster cart, so I kept it and returned my new cartridge to the Blockbuster instead.

I rented it and lost it (it fell behind my dresser but I didnt see it), and assumed my mom had returned it.

I told her this, she didnt remember, and because we rented movies/games multiple days a week, she told them they must have fucked up and they believed her.

do you still have it?
