As if all the rumors of PSP Go, a possible new hardware version of the PSP, and everything that would go along with that, which mostly means the dumping of the UMD format and whatever backwards-compatibility solution Sony comes up with to deal with that were not enough, now comes another rumor related to a PSP game download rental service. As with several other video game related rumors in the recent past, this one got its start with an online survey. In this case I'm not sure where this survey came from, but it was reported on Joystiq earlier today. Regardless, whether it actually comes about I'm sure behind closed doors the idea is nothing new. If you can download demos or full games from PSN then what's to stop you from downloading rentals. Give me a good subscription rate and selection and I'd sign up now.
In the end, as with everything speculative regarding the PSP, I evoke the "let's see what we hear at E3" mantra in the hope that maybe we actually will. Anyway, take a look at the first part of the survey below. That's all that was made available. You can click on the image to view it larger.
