Micromania is controversial with its rental offers for PS5 and Nintendo Switch

On social networks on Tuesday afternoon, new microomania rental offers have been strongly criticized. The brand specializing in video games offers to rent a PlayStation 5 or a Switch with several insurances … which explodes the price of these consoles, without being able to keep them.

On paper, new micromania rental offers may seem interesting. In order not to have to release a large sum when purchasing its console, why not spread payments over several months, a bit like the Xbox All Access of Microsoft ? To make its offers attractive, Micromania also offers to benefit from several controllers and ensures everything against breakage and breakdown. A new economic model intriguing for the world of video games, which could have been a good deal.

However, as many players have noticed on Tuesday, the tariffs of the offers of Micromania finish in all cases by turning against the rental company. In addition to paying their consoles at a price much higher than that of the market, they must at the end return it, without the possibility of migrating to another console. Often mocked for its prices, Micromania is again in turmoil for its offer which has everything of the case of the month.

769 euros for a PS5… which does not belong to you

Take the example of the PS5. Micromania offers three offers:

• Starter package (2 years): 69.99 euros + 23 rents of 17.49 euros = 472.26 euros, with obligation to make the console.
• PRO GAMER Package (2 years, two controllers, PASSE AND GUARANTEE PASSE AND CASTER GUARANTEE): 69.99 euros + 23 rents of 24.99 euros = 644.76 euros, with obligation to make the console.
• Pro Gamer+ package (3 years, two controllers, Passement and breakage warranty, possibility of migrating to a possible PS5 Slim) : 1st payment of 69.99 euros + 35 rents of 19.99 euros = 769.64 euros, with obligation to make the console.

Upon purchase, PlayStation 5 costs 499 euros. At the end of the rental, subscribers to the last two offers will therefore have paid their console at a price much higher than that proposed by Sony, especially since they will not keep it. In the case of the first offer, the user will have saved around twenty euros … but will have thrown money through the windows, then that he will have to buy a new console or renew the subscription. By the way, Micromania does not guarantee its rental companies to double the queue. The PS5 will therefore arrive in several months.

A switch and joy-cons at more than 500 euros

On the side of the Nintendo Switch, we are surprised to see Micromania offer a rental offer for a console about to be replaced. The console is usually marketed around 300 euros and will also cost much more if you go through micromania:

• Starter package (18 months): 44.99 euros + 17 rents of 17.49 euros = 342.32 euros, with obligation to make the console.
• Package plus (24 months, a pair of joy-con, guarantee pass, breakage guarantee): 64.99 euros + 23 rents of 19.99 euros = 524.76 euros, with obligation to make the console.

Once again, Micromania’s offer is a very bad deal. At such a price, you might as well buy it and spread payments several times.

To discover also on video:

For the moment, Micromania has not responded to the controversy. The brand prefers to respond to its detractors by indicating that it is still possible to buy the console if you wish. In view of Bad buzz provoked by this operation, we would not be surprised (and we hope) that the economic model of Micromania evolves, perhaps by offering players to keep the console at the end of the commitment ?
