Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of offering new rental packages so I'd like some feedback from you guys. From the response of some of my renters, I gather that my existing options are not meeting everyone's requirements so I thought I'd come up with a few more options, that is, if there is sufficient interest.

The existing options are the RM50/mth, RM80/mth and casual rental but I gather that there are some gamers who don't have the budget for this. And there are also others who don't have time to play as much as they would like. Hence, the RM30 option and the buy-back option.

The RM30 option gives renters access to older games (for example, Dead Space, FIFA09, Golden Axe, Bioshock, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, Resistance Fall of Man, etc). The list will constantly be updated, so there is no worry of being stuck with really old games. This is aimed at gamers who don't mind playing older games and are in no hurry to play the new stuff, maybe because they just bought a PS3 and are still catching up with the catalog. It's also good value for those who are tight on cash, at RM1 per day.

The buy-back option would be for gamers who don't have time to play so they prefer to buy instead of rent. We will buy the game back at a pre-specified price and within specified time limits so effectively it's like a long term rental. However, purchasers do not have to sell it back to us if they prefer not to.

Wokay! It's open to the floor. Please give me your feedback. Let me know what you think, why you'd select a specific option (or options), or whether you'd be interested in any of these options at all.

Thanks!

bro ooj,

i vote for none...

cuz never rent any game.. mostly i prefer buy a game..
cuz i like to collect games

anyway.. good luck for you research.. for a better renting service

I chose RM 30 for old games...simply because I just don't have the time to play the game when it first came out especially during the last holiday season (being a working dad) so not having to buy the game that I missed is a plus for me..and If I like the game so much..I just give you a call and top up to buy the game..right?

Ya, that's why I put a "none" option in the list. Because not everyone rents. From my experience and research, less than 30% of overall gamers will rent games.

That's also why I put in the buy-back option. For customers who usually sell off a game when they're done with it or if they don't like it.

Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks for your feedback, dude.

hmm.. got 12 vote...

but no respon on the post?

i choose the buy back option because i don't have time to play. so i prefer to buy instead of rent.

buy back option bro, its a sweet deal!

buy back option is for me coz i don't have a lot of time to play. normally i will sell off games that i finished or didn't like.

Eh, tervote on RM50. But I prefer buy back option more

RM 50 option. But I don't rent games from you - transport issues

vote for RM30 option, cos some games got decent review scores, so I can wait

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! I'll wait a bit more for more comments and I'll see what I can do with the new pricing options.

Casual rental is gud d...

I've voted for the buyback option.

I prefer to keep my games but it's reassuring to know that I have the option to sell back the game if the game didn't turn out to be what I expected / worth keeping.

ooj, how come you don't support Xbox 360? you're a prejudice!

I'm still working out the details but for now it looks like it will be just games that you buy from me.

Buy-back option will be great honestly. So I'd vote for that.

However the buy-back option should apply to all new, current and old games to really make it work IMO. I know there would be other issues like the game losing its value and what not.

It's not that I don't support Xbox360. It's because there isn't enough demand for Xbox360 game rental and for that matter, Wii also. Because of pirated games!

Having said that, if there is enough requests I'll offer Xbox360 and Wii games for rent, though it will most likely be on a casual gamer basis rather than the monthly membership system.
