Digital Rentals for the PSP Go?

Posted by BaXpAcE on 10/04/2009

An interesting little feature was discovered recently in firmware 6.10 for the PSP. It would appear as though you can only sort your games by expiration date, not by groups in folders like the PS3 does. Strange, I was under the impression that a demo or fully purchased game was mine for as long as I please. So what's with the expiration date? Speculation is percolatin' about the idea of a rental service being offered by Sony. Seeing as how they have no physical media to slang, this may be a great way to get their games to the masses while making an extra buck or two.

Lots of possibilities could be implemented by introducing this type of service. You could rent a game and have it expire in X amount of days. Pay a monthly flat rate and have X amount of games for X amount of time. This is definitely an idea that should be explored and I'm sure it already is. No official word from Sony just yet but stay tuned, I'm sure it's on its way.
