• What's the worst that can happen if I don't return a rental game?
    42 replies, posted
A few weeks ago, I got a voucher for two free game rentals from the movie place here. I got my first one, returned it, and just got Far Cry 2 a few days ago. It's due back either today or tomorrow I think, but I was thinking of keeping it because I don't have the money right now to buy games, but don't want to stop playing. This is the first time we've gone there in almost 5 years, so going back there isn't really going to happen, as we only went because it was free. The first game I got was supposedly 3 days late but I told them I'm not paying the fine and it turns out they were wrong, but they never contacted me until I went in there about late fees. So what can they really do if I don't return it?
Charge you per day.
Stealing is stealing...
Don't be a dumb ass!
[QUOTE=Auster;17919270]Stealing is stealing...[/QUOTE] No shit, but with a rental place they just keep racking up the fine or give you the option to buy the game from them. I'm asking what the worst thing they can really do is, can they force me to pay?
It'll just keep on stacking till one day when your an old man and you go to rent a movie for your grand children you'll find out you owe them millions of dollars. That day would be your last.

The store will hunt you down with rifles.

If it's some place like Blockbuster and your account is tied to a credit card they could charge you a restock fee (basically charge you for the game). Since you claim you can't afford it I would suggest returning the game. Just keep your saved data until you can afford it.
[QUOTE=BlackDeath292;17919452]They'll let you buy the game from them?[/QUOTE] You give them the money to buy a replacement. And I don't think any CCs are tied to the account, but if there are, it's been 5 years since we went there, they'd be expired by now I'm sure.
I heard that if you get games from netflix, you can say that you never received the game. You end up taking the game for free, and they don't know, leaving you open for more tries.
When did netflix start doing games?
Nothing. I still have blockbuster N64 games that I never returned. They will make a few calls at first but then they will do nothing about it.
The charge will build up over time. Either pay it off early or not at all.
What's the worst that can happen? :huh: Except you won't be smiling.
Think of the other people that want to rent the game, DONT BE AN A-HOLE!

I remember I forgot to return a game I rented for PS2 from Xtra-Vision, nothing happened.
Wow, i was surprised when there is no reply among the lines of "They chop your balls off hurr durr" But yeah, it builds up over time.
They will hunt you down...and kill you
I'm pretty sure all they will do is charge you a fee per day until they get to the "limit" then just charge you for the game plus whatever late fees you racked up.
