Never loan your gmes to anyone other than family, a wise tip told to me by my dad. But just as all young fools do, I gave a game to a friend, when it came back after 3 months...it didnt work...I only wish I had listened to my dad, there goes another 30 quid down the swany. Seriously though, never lend games to anyone, even if you really trust them...you'll live to regret it.

I lent my copy of Gauntlet and left various games round someone's house over christmas time a few years back.

They came back perfect because they were on carts.

I use to lend loads of my games out when i was a kid for my Nes, SNes and MD. Pretty sure i have a good load of them that were never returned.

As for PS1/2 games, i always made sure to tell my mates that they had better look after them otherwise i would be wanting replacments. Usually though if i was lending a game, id usually be borrowing one too. So if there was a problem,they basicly wouldnt get thier own game back.

Beat him to a pulp.
Seriously. One of my "mates" lent a game off me once, lost it. So I shot the scum several times with my handy air rifle.

Oh dear God no. It's gonna cost you at least £15 each to replace 'em if they end up wrecked.
