Gaming You can now rent a PlayStation 5

What's next? TV rentals?

That's already a thing, apparently.

I remember when Walmart used to do those rent to own layway kind of programs. But actually just renting something like this?

What's next? TV rentals?

Renting consoles has been around for a while - I remember renting a Nintendo 64 at blockbuster when I was a kid. There is a company in the US called "Rent A Center" and you can rent couches, tvs, etc.

What I find even crazier is the rise in Pay in 4 platforms like Klarna, Afterpay, etc. Now you can use Klarna at grocery stores, uber eats, etc.

People are taking out small loans to have a sandwich delivered to their house/job, crazy.

Right? Those Klarna apps are insane. Like if you can't afford overpriced Uber eats why the hell would you pay later on that shit with interest? It's UBER EATS not a necessity.

It’s funny when you see people using these “Pay Later” options. I feel like some people treat it as an “enjoy now, worry later” situation, but it’s not so funny when the due date arrives and they get overwhelmed by their “Pay Later” bills. I don’t see the point of using such options. If you don’t have the money now, you probably shouldn’t buy it in the first place.
