Now, obviously, renting does help. It gives Family Video money, tells them the consumers want the game, so they buy 10 copies. The question is how many people rent each game and if those people would have bought the game.

I am going to rent Mirror's Edge, and I rented Doom. If I didn't live near a place where I could rent those, I definitely would have preordered them to get Amazon's $20 off preorders bonus.

So that's what a developer said, and that's all I know.
