So how would renting a PS3 game work?

Yeah, which is bullshit. I love Gamefly, and IF Sony is stupid enough to do something that essentially kills off that service for me, I'll be extremely pissed. I don't know about other people, but there are a bunch of games that I want to play, but will never, ever buy. Making it impossible to rent games isn't going to make me buy more games, it's just going to make me play those other games less.

Of course, that means I won't get the occasional rental, really love the game, and buy it.

To be fair, Sony's not alone here. A lot of the publishers are pushing in that direction. Sony's freaking out because they just got their "bulletproof" system cracked, so they're probably going to go further (Even if Install keys never happen), but they're not alone. The pubs hate rentals and used games and pirates (Oh my!), and they really do want you paying full price for a game you can finish in a couple hours.

They may be shooting themselves in the foot, but it doesn't seem unlikely that they would do it.
