How about we rent them first. Then see which is better and buy accordingly?

The business of ripping people off?
It's always amusing to see the people lined up at EB/Gamestop around Christmas/Boxing Day waiting to pay 20% markup.
i.e. NHL09 at Walmart - $48.33, Futureshop/Best Buy - $49.99, EB/Gamestop - $59.99
(not current prices, but you get my point)

^^^People pay it though. You can't be mad at a business for selling products at a higher price if people are willing to pay for it. I mean, let's say you have something for sale: One guy offers you $15 and another guy is willing to give you $20. Obviously you're going to take the higher bid.

They are only selling the game at MSRP. That is the for the brand new copy, you can pick it up used for less. And places like Walmart are so much bigger companies that they can afford to sell thier products just a little cheaper.
And just a side note best buy actually sells it at 59.99 to.

Craigslist them bad boys, or go to a smaller local shop. EBGames/Gamestop offer crap for used games, unless the game's a hit that's still in the prime of its sales life. Anything else they offer a few bucks, even for RPGs which have much longer resale lives than most games.
Yeah it's a business. And if the business model doesn't suit you, go somewhere else. It's a two way street.
