Success Secrets - What I, Mike Litman Learned From This Old Book We have seen several nice video game rental comparison sites, with nice tidy, colorful little charts, outlining all the advertised features of each one. We stress the phrase 'advertised features'. There seemed to something lacking in these review sites... honesty, maybe. To be more precise, they were lacking an authoritative presence. In effect, these 'review sites' were just a page, collating all the game rental advertising in one place. Rather than make any recommendations that could really help their visitors, they would just put their affiliate link for all of the companies on the page, and let the potential renter fend for himself.Yesterday was a beautiful, sunny day in New York and yes, I spent it alone :}.My wife left for lunch with some old friends at 11:30 and a bunch of my friends were busy.It was the first real nice day in New York in months, so I grabbed a few books and went to read outside.As some of you know, I'm fascinated with success books that were written before 1930.Over the last 3 years, I've spend thousands of dollars in finding them because so many of them are 'out of print' and many of them have changed m So began our quest to do it the right way. To our knowledge, it is the only online video game rental review page of its kind. Since we already belonged to many gaming forums, what better place to start doing some preliminary research. In many cases, forum members had already posted some off-topic threads pertaining to game rental experiences. The nice thing about these posts, was the unsolicited, brutal, scathing honesty. There was no candy-coating of the ugly truth to be found anywhere. After following about a dozen of these threads in as many forums, we were already better equipped to make some recommendations, rather than just telling our visitors, "Here! Just pick one." The forum research allowed us to narrow down the field to three notable candidates, that at least deserved a chance to prove or disprove themselves. We really did not want to pay for ten different game rental subscriptions, and after our preliminary forum research, we saw no reason to. In fact with two of them, we really would not feel comfortable giving them our credit card information. So basically, we went with 'the Big 3'. If you have done any shopping for a game rental company at all, you know who I'm talking about. We will avoid naming names, due to our severe aversion to lawsuits. I suppose in all fairness, our experiences could have been unique, but I sincerely doubt it. Here is the bottom line; the nitty-gritty that the 'review' sites don't tell you (because they really don't know). We're guessing that these 'review' sites are put up by hard-working webmasters, who probably haven't played a video game since their College Days. They have a lot of useless data on the site, but no real user experience. There was one real winner in this comparison, and two losers. We will summarize the shortcomings of the losers. 1) Poor condition of games shipped. We found it to be more than a little frustrating to eagerly anticipate playing a new game we had heard great things about, only to be plagued with 'disk read error' every time we tried to start it. We would clean and buff and pamper this thing repeatedly. No good. We are adults. We can only imagine how frustrating this would be for a kid, whose sense of time operates more in the realm of 'dog-years'. It would feel like eons had passed, waiting for the next game to arrive. 2) Shipping the wrong games. We tend to think the smaller companies just do the best they can, trying to make their limited inventories stretch to cover the needs of their customer base. We are sympathetic of their situation, when 50% of their subscribers are all demanding to play Lost Planet for Xbox 360, but it is not our problem. We are not in the game rental business. They are. 3) Customer support. Our support requests concerned the above. Again, we understand the difficulties the Little Guys in the game rental business must face.

After following about a dozen of these threads in as many forums, we were already better equipped to make some recommendations, rather than just telling our visitors, "Here! Just pick one."JOINT TENANCIESMany people believe that their property is protected if they and their spouse own everything as joint tenants in common with right of survivorship. Unfortunately, this is not the case.The premise behind Joint Tenancy is that a creditor of one of the joint tenants can only reach that person's interest in the property. The only real "protection" gained by this form of ownership is that a creditor can't attach the other person's interest in the property. For example, if a husband has an issue w The forum research allowed us to narrow down the field to three notable candidates, that at least deserved a chance to prove or disprove themselves.
