Star Wars: Force Unleashed Tops Rental List

According to Rogers Video (via The Canadian Press), the most popular game rental for the week ending Sept. 21 is Star Wars: Force Unleashed.  SW:FU grabbed the 1st (Xbox 360), 2nd (PS3), 4th (Wii) and 5th (PS2) slots.  I knew this game was popular, but I haven’t seen such a clean sweep in awhile.    Are you playing it?  Do you love it?  Hit Teh Forums and let us know.

UPDATE: Apparently the game is breaking sales records too. 1.5 million units were sold in the first 5 days, making this both the fastest selling Star Wars and Lucas Arts game ever.
