TVs for Consoles

Well I went to Rent-A-Center today and they told me that we could rent normal sized TVs no problem, with 2 day advanced notice. he said around $250 for 5 for the weekend... I can't pay for it out of reg fees, so what do you guys think?

All kidding aside though, I'm not a console gamer myself, so I like Mack's idea just fine!

So, the cost-split isn't really fair.
Lets get the total cost of everything else before we worry too much about the TVs. Also, did you tell them this is for a non-profit event? Might get the manager to eat some of the cost. Ham it up a bit if you have to.
@ everyone,
I think the cost splitting idea isn't very good at all. It would become a pain in the butt to track who paid what, etc.
Then there's the "fairness" issue. I for instance, may play for 5-10 minutes, when others could spend the majority of their time on them. Why should I pay the same as they have, when I used the consoles/TVs a fraction of the time they have? We could do a "pay-per-hour" thing, but that's not only the biggest b*tch of all, as nobody (at least not me) would really want to keep track of it.
I'd like to think everyone would have better (and more enjoyable) things to do than sit there with a stopwatch, timing each individual player.
I know its a long reach, but if we could get a couple, that would be sweet! Screen size wouldn't be a factor, and if a couple people had them, they would be a lot easier to bring then a large tv.
Don't go "pfff"-ing at me, buster!
Well you might as WELL try it. Nothing to lose.
@Mac
I understand. IMO, it's not worth teh extra cost.
On the other hand, it's only an extra $6.50 per person (assuming all 40 pay)...
otherwise, I can haul my very very small commodore monitor. I picked it up for $25.
but it's SMALL. Might be better off seeing if anyone has a in/out on their vid card or even VGA cables for their consoles.
