When you see a parked car and expect Jeremy Clarkson to start talking about it.
When I just spent what, MYR50 or more renting and playing it... In fact I just played it about an hour ago. That costed me MYR8 an hour!
What is MYR50 or MYR8? I'm assuming currency !
Would it not be cheaper buying the game?
It is a currency mate. MYR is actually Malaysian Ringgit
Well, the thing is though I don't have an XBOX 360 and couldn't afford one at the moment. So that's why if I want to play, I just rent the XBOX and the game for MYR8 per hour. There's no difference at all either if I buy the game but rent the XBOX...
What a life...
Yeah thats not so good !
They must make a fortune on that - you would think they would offer 24hrs at a reasonable rate rather than a lot per hour !
They don't, really. The price of the game is approximately MYR100 (yes, games here is very the very expensive!) and by renting it with the XBOX, together MYR8. Usually people will play around 1 and a half hour or sometimes up to 3 hours. One of the employee at the shop is my friend, and he told me they actually make little money from it. It's not worth it for them but for the sake of getting customers to the shop, they let us rent it.
If they have paid for the consoles outright surely any money they make above the cost of the console itself is profit !
I know why you obviously want to rent it but if it was me i'd rather save up all that renting money and buy my own console !
But before that, I tell you the 250GB costs about MYR1500-2000!
The game is as I said, about MYR100 and just imagine how much I'd have to spend.
True though, buying your own console is much better. Plus, you have your own privacy. I'm currently saving up for a PS3, but it doesn't surprise me if I'm getting an XBOX at the same time as well... The racing in FM4 is pretty impressive!
Wow ! Thats crazy ! Why are they so expensive?

Sorry to hear about your problems, Xboxes are relatively cheap over here.
I am very confused - MYR100 is about $35 bucks - half of what I paid for the game - and yet the console runs in the vicinity of $500?!? Insane!
