Thanks for bringing more attention to this. Many bad practices in finance and business happen because people think what they are doing is fine as long as it flies under the radar - even if they have to take advantage of vulnerable people in the process of enriching their own pockets.

Thank you, Aris. 👍🏼 Sadly, we're seeing more and more product manufacturers who are apparently dissatisfied with making 'one time' sales to buyers, and are trying to come up with underhanded ways of continuing to reach into their customers' wallets after the sale (mostly in the form of sketchy 'subscriptions'), but this 'rental' scam of NZXT's has _got_ to be one of the worst examples of it I've seen yet. I'm glad Gamers Nexus broke the story and I appreciate your insights on the matter. (I think the more people hear about it, the less chance there is that NZXT will actually profit from it. 🤔) Thanks again.
Nice video. You also pointed out the 2 year upgrade that Steve from GN totally ignored in his analysis. It makes it not as terrible as GN laid out, but is till a terrible deal.
It may be worthwhile for those who can afford a gaming rig to try PC gaming, especially if they're uncertain about their interest. Many spend thousands on hobbies like guitars or dirt bikes, only to sell them later at a loss. I expected the U.S. to provide more affordable refurbished computer options for low-income families, schools, charities, and individuals.
Wow, Just saw your friend on the other channel saying the same thing. It's not a scheme or a scam. It's a business. You are not forced to buy this. And quite frankly the lowest priced one will play any game out there without issue. Using words like predatory and scam are slander. If you want to rent a PC and can't afford 2000-3000 dollars to build your own then this is a value. You can't even buy my graphics card for 59.00 a month. Instead of being happy to have an OPTION to have a pc, you guys act like they should be shut down. No one makes you enter this agreement. I never even heard of this company before today or knew that you could rent a PC but I think it's a great solution to kids or parents out there who can't afford to spend 2-3 large to buy a PC right now but still get something that will run their favorite games. If this was an option 10 years ago when I didn't make as much money I would have been all over it. I feel like you guys are going to get sued by NZXT if you keep spreading defamatory crap like this. And your attitude is like you own one or got robbed by them. I understand you are just trying to get views. I see your channel is small and mine is even smaller but this ain't the way to retain people just a way to get views by jumping on that wagon. Best of luck with your channel bro no hard feelings but you need to be called out and use caution.
As pointed out in the video, it's not even remotely a good value as one can acquire a loan anywhere else for much much cheaper. The NZXT flex program is such bad value that cost to simply rent this PC is worse than taking out a loan with greater than 100% interest rate. It's beyond bad and you don't even own the PC at the end of the day.
apparently you don't know who you are talking to. Make a search and then come back here and say that I do this for views. Let me help you. Google "crmaris"
@@giglioflex I agree with that. But you need to consider that kids can't get loans and people that can't afford to buy say a 2000.00 PC at once at least have an option to have something here. And you have to keep in mind nobody builds a PC for free. Look at Alienware... 3-5 thousand for a PC that's worth around 1500-2000. That's business. I build my own PC's and for my friends I do it for free but I could charge them and still save them money. That doesn't mean that everyone has this ability or access so I don't think it's a bad thing. I think it is a high cost option to give you the ability to play if you don't have any other options. But I don't think the company should be shamed for this.
@@HardwareBusters No, I just came here from a link from your friends channel. I was not trying to insult you, I just saw the lower numbers and assumed.
@@rezolution6272 Accept that its worse than if you just bought it using a regular credit card and were paying half the amount for min payments. NZXT was supposed to do ID and credit verification according to the site but they actually didn't. If you cant afford to pay for a 2000 dollar PC using credit card payments then you for sure cant afford to be renting the pc from NZXT.

RIP NZXT.

ΝΖΧΤ Flex=Error 404. This also shows how bad some influencers are. Thumbs up for your vid (and Steve's as well).
Great, thank you !!!

Better off then just buying a PC at a store that has a 30 day warranty and then returning it before the expo date if you dont enjoy it
Why am I having deja vu of watching a shorter version of this video already from yesterday?
great video thank you hardwere busters
