Some things are meant to be rented: cars, homes, and some higher-end cameras.
Smartphones and gaming PCs should not be on that list.
(Dont message me about the smartphone thing; we shouldnt be leasing smartphones like theyre cars.)

Subscription pricing
According toThe Verge,NZXThasbeen running its Flex subscription service for a few months.
Since its inception, the company has tweaked the model structure.
NZXT recommends the tier as being for the average gamer on standard parameters.
A solid configuration will net you good frame rates on most games.
However, those rates will drop significantly if youre interested in 4K gaming.
If you want something with a bit more oomph, theres the $119 Player Two mid-tier.
This tier is for enthusiasts to play the latest releases at great FPS.
Its definitely a step up and should produce some serious frame rates.
However, those with 4K gaming on their brains will need something even more powerful.
Thats where Player Three, the $169 top-tier, comes in.
No matter which tier you choose, there will be an additional $50 fee for setup and shipping.
Subscription vs. Preconfigured vs. DIY
Alright, now lets get into some math.
If you go with the Player One tier for two years, youll be shelling out $1,416.
Player Two and Three will cost $2,856 and $4,056, respectively.
I went to a couple of popular desktop PC manufacturers to see if their preconfigured systems were cheaper.
Next, theres the Lenovo Legion Tower 7i Gen 8 (Intel) with RTX 4080 Super GPU.
And finally, I went over to HPs site and found the HP Omen 45L Gaming Desktop GT22-2085t.
Okay, now lets look at building out a system.
Both prices are less than a two-year Player 3 subscription.
Consumers looking for a system will be better off either snagging a preconfigured rig or building their own.
