Fuck you, BlockBusters!

Dead Island released Friday, I rang up Saturday wanting to rent it on either PS3 or Xbox360, wasn't fussed. Turns out they had all been rented on Friday and were due back on Monday. Fair enough, I think to myself.

Monday comes, and by 11am when I rang up they've all apparently been rented out again and won't be due back until Friday. I call B.S. on this since I know if I have a game until 10pm Monday night I don't return it before 11am, and I doubt ALL of the games were mysteriously returned early and rented out so quickly.

Friday comes (today) and I ring up again. What a surprise, they're out AGAIN. Furthermore I find out they only have 6 copies of the game, presumably 3 on PS3, 3 on Xbox360. Finally I gave up and pirated Dead Island on PC.

EDIT:

Enjoying it so far. Though it feels as though I have to stand in just the right spot when I search things, or want to interact with a door etc. I can't just run up to it and hammer the interact button and have it register as I continue to run past - away from the zombies, Left 4 Dead style.

Hence why Block Buster is going under, lol. As for the games being out, it's very possible the games were never returned. It's something like a dollar per day, so if you're going to spend the money to rent a game you like, what's the harm in one or two more dollars to get a few extra days?

That's your fault for playing LFD's fake ass poser game >.>

[Chris Lionheart]

L4D is quality, you must be high?

[MG Cage]

I was saying Dead Island was a fake ass LFD lol

[Chris Lionheart]

Ohhhh!

LMAO.

[MG Cage]

I hold no game higher than LFD unless it's either Kingdom Hearts (Don't judge me) or Mirror's Edge...

[evil]

I liked Kingdom Hearts too, MG. So your not the only one. lol

I <3 Dead Island. I really do. Great game. Better then I had hoped for to see. It really does feel like a L4D style game, only with a free roaming environment. *Wishes Valve could've thought of this before before putting there L4D series out*

Oh, and about BlockBuster Video? Yeah, they suck. lol. That store has went downhill so badly in the last few years. Tis why, even though GameFly isn't 'perfect', and yes, sometimes it is hard as hell to rent a game that just came out. But overall. GameFly is the way to go to rent games if its available in your region.

I haven't used Blockbuster since 2006. Never used Gamefly. Gamestop ftw, lol.
