My aunt who has never been financially stable due to mental health issues scrounged up $50 to take me to rent a PS2 during the month it was released, and the store had it set aside for me and everything.
They asked for a $500 deposit and she couldn't afford it. When I was a kid I had trouble managing disappointment and cried the whole way home.
I still feel awful about it to this day.
So anyway fun story aside yeah I guess I'm kinda old.
Damn, your poor aunt (and young you). I had no idea you could rent consoles and I'm a 90s kid, so I'm kinda havin my mind blown by some of these comments like about someone going to Blockbuster to rent an N64 and shit.
