LoveFilm's stance on why they rent Super Monkey Ball 3D and not Resident Evil: The Mercenaries makes no sense

"It is an issue with these two games recoding (sic) on the game storage-disc-thing how far you have got. Which means that whoever gets the disc-thing first and plays the game will then store that and the next person will see all the levels, achievements, and items and things unlocked already, which takes a lot of the enjoyment out. Because Resident Evil is a linear game this will totally spoil it, so we have opted not to rent it. Super Monkey Ball is not a linear game but a puzzle game, so it is less of a problem and therefore still available to rent." - LoveFilm statement
