Blockbuster to Rent Sony PSP Games

Blockbuster will rent Sony PSP games in its 4400 stores world-wide. Initial games include Twisted Metal: Head-On, Untold Legends, and Need for Speed Underground Rivals. The fee will be $6.99, which seems a bit hefty. The company will also sell and buy used PSP games.

As Sony's PSP becomes more mainstream and owners look for more gaming action, BLOCKBUSTER announces today that it will carry PSP(TM) (PlayStation® Portable) handheld games for rent in all stores. More than 4,400 company-owned stores nationwide will carry the games by May 17 and the selection will continue to increase as new titles launch throughout the year.
