NBA 2K14 (PS4, X1)

Finally, no waiting for Ground Zeroes from Gamefly!

They haven't listed it yet, so they may not even get it.

 

[Amon37]

They haven't listed it yet, so they may not even get it.

Whaaa they have it for all 4 systems.

 

[alr1ght]

Makes sense. The last big bit of old gen games was just released.

Whaaa they have it for all 4 systems.

He's referring to redbox.

 

[Pryce]

Will rent Watch_Dogs.

 

[Bsigg12]

Will rent Watch_Dogs.

Yep, that's what I'm going to do then decide if it's worth buying.

 

[imtehman]

hope they include order 1886 with this, no way i would buy that game with no co-op or multiplayer

 

[DTLIONS1013]

How long is Thief?

 

[nbraun80]

People should never make serious announcements for April 1st.

 

[friskykillface]

infamous second son is on the site but no where in site

even on the kiosk it had it for the 25th, wonder what happened

will rent Assassins creed B^)


mlb the show PS4 will be a great rental

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

Finally, no waiting for Ground Zeroes from Gamefly!

I've been waiting as well. First time I didn't get a game the day after release from GameFly. Had an open slot in my GameQ and everything.

 

[TrueGrime]

I was waiting for this to happen. Looking forward to trying before I buy. I miss digital demos for XBL.

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

How long is Thief?

The main story including all side missions took me around 20 - 22 hours on Normal difficulty.

 

[T.O.P]

I have no idea why my mind processed this as some kind of online rental service (didn't know what Redbox was lol)


A man can dream

 

[Tabasco]

I don't rent my games. If I buy a game I don't end up really liking, I just let it sit there.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Woohoo! Now I don't have to buy ACIV and Thief for the PS4. Bring on Ground Zeroes next!

 

[Duxxy3]

Was hoping to see Knack and Battlefield 4 on that list. Want to play through both of them, but have no interest in paying full price for them.

Oh well, I'll just rent thief then.

 

[alr1ght]

Get a few free rental codes and this is better.

 

[Barzul]

I'd totally rent games like GZ and Ryse (if I didn't already beat it).

 

[plainr_]

Finally.

 

[The Faceless Master]

looks like i'll play infamous and metal gear in Q2

 

[Dysun]

Nice I'll check out NBA 2K14 and Thief soon enough then

 

[statham]

Why hello Black Flag.

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

Redbox has had Xbox One games since launch? Cool to see they're adding PS4 games though.

 

[whitehawk]

They should probably fix that exploit where people return printed pieces of paper first.

 

[Pryce]

Is inFAMOUS SS going to get there?

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Bout damn time.

 

[RPG]

They've had PS4 games since launch too. The links for the buttons on the website were always broken though...

Is inFAMOUS SS going to get there?

Looks like it's already out in some places.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

nice. will rent thief.

 

[brianmcdoogle]

$2.50 to play and beat COD:Ghosts and $5.00 to beat Thief? Nice.

 

[dreamer3kx]

How does this work, not familiar with redbox, how much?

 

[border]

They've had PS4 games since launch too. .

No, they may have had PS4/XB1 games in some cities. But it's never been an option for me.

 

[RedAssedApe]

nice. wanted to play the ghosts campaign on next-gen instead of my 360 copy.

 

[Neuromancer]

Sweet. Between this and Gamefly I can try anything before I buy it.

How does this work, not familiar with redbox, how much?

Reserve a game online, go to the Redbox you picked and use your credit card to pick it up; return it the next day. Last gen games were a couple bucks a night.

For maximum utility pick up your game right after midnight; you get it all that day, and all the next day until midnight 9pm according to other people.

You can also take your chances and just go to any redbox but I think it's smarter to reserve a game ahead of time so you don't waste your time if what you want isn't there.

 

[Valnen]

I wish there was a redbox just for games, they don't take games seriously enough and have a shit selection.

 

[Bsigg12]

How does this work, not familiar with redbox, how much?

It's $2.50 a night for games. Sometimes they do free rental codes. Also, there's a best time of day to rent from Redbox to maximize time with the game, I just don't remember when.

Edit: Neuromancer is on top of Redbox rental best practices.

 

[sneakypete]

Not sure if it's still valid(I did it last Wed and it worked though) but try texting THIEF to 727272 and you should get a free game rental code.

 

[Kriken]

Hope they get MGS5. The service would be extremely useful for a game like that.

I was thinking this as well, the PS3/360 versions are available now, but people with PS4/XB1 shouldn't have to pay as much as it is and have the ability to rent that game

 

[RedAssedApe]

Not sure if it's still valid(I did it last Wed and it worked though) but try texting THIEF to 727272 and you should get a free game rental code.

still valid. code expires on 4/1/14@11:59p CT tho

 

[wsoxfan1214]

I don't rent my games. If I buy a game I don't end up really liking, I just let it sit there.

That sure seems like a sound monetary decision.

 

[TheMan]

i should have waited and rented killzone. bought digitial edition for around 40, kind of regret it since i'm stuck with fairly mediocre game.

 

[alr1ght]

12:01 am. Return by 9 pm the next day.

You'll have essentially 45 hours to play.

 

[border]

I'm not sure if it's sad or hilarious, but the OP seems to have completely ignored that Redbox is also getting WiiU games (Donkey Kong, Lego City, Super Luigi U, Super Mario 3D World).

April 8th:

Titanfall (X1)

The only version of Titanfall on that page is the 360 version.

Oh wait you're right.

Ah, so that makes sense why I was able to rent at 9am on a Tuesday and return it at noon on Wednesday and only be charged the one day rental. I guess I could have kept it for another nine hours. I always thought it was a hard 24 hours from rental time. Cool.

 

[Zach]

I don't rent my games. If I buy a game I don't end up really liking, I just let it sit there.

So it can think about what it's done?

 

[Pastry]

Awesome, I'll probably rent CoD so I can check out the multiplayer.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Redbox is getting better and better about games.
I live out in the middle of nowhere but my Redbox actually had Ground Zeroes the very night it released.
