Given how little libraries advertise, this is something that I found recently. Like many, I missed being able to easily/quickly rent games via Blockbuster. But, it turns out many librarians keep up with modern preferences and keep quite a few games for checkout. Even when the one closest library doesn't have something I want, it's often available in the others on the network.

Especially as Nintendo lifts their prices to $80, this may be something to seriously consider for people that have felt burned just two days into playing a game that isn't as fun as it looked in trailers.

Mine does, yes, and it has a great inter-library loan system, too. As long as it hasn't come out recently, I have access to a big chunk of the Switch library.

Unfortunately, it looks like going forward that it's not software costs that are going to be the biggest problem, it's hardware. Adjusting for inflation, hardware has never been this expensive this late in a generation in my country. Not even the PS3.
