Well, it was the weekend after Halo came out ( I was only 13 back then). I got tired of all my games, and decided to go try some new ones. I rented Halo from a store that was called something like Game Renter (I forgot). Later that day (it was a Friday) my cousin (who was 17 at the time) came down here to Florida from New York to visit. We played Halo together, and of course, loved it. I decided I might buy it, but I wasn't sure, since I already beat the game. It was a 5 day rent, so on Tuesday I asked my cousin to return it, since I was busy walking my dog, and watching my little brother. He said sure, in a few minutes. I assumed he returned it. He left the next day, back to New York. About a month later, I was cleaning out the Guestroom, where he stayed, and to my surprise, found Halo. I immediately asked my mom to give me a ride. When I got to the place where I had rented the game, I found out it was out of Buissnes. So, I got lucky, and had to pay only 5 dollars for a New Release, which usually costs 50 dollars. Oh, and it wasn't a normal store, where you rent a game and it comes in a different cover than the official one. Nope. It came in the official cover, with the manual, and it was only rented once before. It was near to perfect condition.

The reason that they went out of business is because people like you took all their stuff home and never returned it... how does it freel knowing that you took part in making some poor entrepenuer go bankrupt and probably lose his house and have him and his 10 children and his wife starving out on the streets just so you could have one more x-box game?

Zoggy stop being an As shole. I got mine for christmas along with my XBOX and a few other games, last year. But i wasn't new to the game then. I played it with my friend (who lives next to me) all the time.
