There are always new games coming out. When you get interested in playing one for the first time, who do you get it? Do you buy the game, rent it, borrow it from a friend, or test it out in some other way? How about those demos some stores put up where a game can be played briefly by customers?
Let's face it, new games can be pretty expensive at $50+ on those for the major consoles. Some of them can be finished in a single rental, which is considerably less expensive. So, how do you get the most bang for your gaming buck?
