Sometimes you just have to hate your life.
Alright so I'm essentially venting here, so bear with me.
Everyone here should know, I love video games. Particularly those relating to space, such as Dead Space or Mass Effect.
So I wanted to rent Mass Effect 2 since I figured I could beat it within a week or two, and didn't really feel like paying the full $60 for a game I'll likely get bored with, within 2-3 weeks after getting it.
So I checked out this website called Gamerang, was perfect for what I needed, I was reading and noticed that they require a 'credit' card as a payment method to ensure you are not a child and are an adult. Now that would be fine for the average person, but my family is rather poor and I am not yet 18, no one I know, in my family or friends, has a credit card.
So I said a few bad things out loud and moved on. I remembered Gamefly, which is essentially the same thing as Gamerang, but then I found out that I cannot use their service due to the previous person that had an account at this address, never returned a game. There was no number to call to get that cleared up and I'm not going to play email tag with them about it. So I moved on.
Figured, hey, I'll just rent it from my local rental store, which happens to be Blockbuster. I called, they had two Mass Effect 2's in stock. $8.99 for a one week rental, but they require a debit/credit card on file. Which my family also lacks a debit card.
In all, seems my only options are.. Play email tag with Gamefly or buy the game.
WHY does everything have to revolve around credit/debit cards?
