It's been a leaky week for Sony's handheld gaming portable, with grumblings of a music downloads store and a game rental service for the PSP going around. The latest on the latter is that developers were apparently briefed on such a rental storefront as far back as the Game Developer's Conference in March. Again, combined with Stringer's comments about expanding the PlayStation Network, it looks like Sony is making a broad push to beef up the PSN.
