GameStop has launched an in-store rental service called PowerPass. It’s kind of like Blockbuster where you swap out your used video game after you play it and get another one. Just pay a six-month and swap anytime you want. However, you can have only one out at a time. Is this really worth $60 for six-months? Speak to me console gamers.



This is an unexpected play by GameStop, but a seemingly sensible one. As the video game space continues to shift toward online sales, there’s likely a shrinking secondhand market to go along with it.
