Sony Testing Rental Links on PlayStation Store - Presumably tied into PlayStation Now.
Sony has added the option to rent certain games from the US Playstation Store, though the links don't appear to be functioning yet.
The interface was spotted last night by MP1st and PSN Stores (via VG247), leading to speculation that a non-public test is taking place ahead of PlayStation Now's North American release later this year.
As you can see, options exist for renting games for either one, seven, or 30 days. Regarding the "free" pricing, that's probably just a placeholder until the service goes live. Seeing as this is very likely tied into PlayStation Now, it's possible the potential prices for the service spotted earlier this week will apply.
There's still no firm information on when Europeans will be seeing PlayStation Now, though the best guess is 2015 at the earliest as Sony has admitted problems with broadband strength in Europe. It's expected to roll out in North America later this year; for ideas on what to expect, check out our hands-on impressions.
PlayStation Now will recommend an internet connection speed of 5Mb/s to ensure a "good experience", according to Sony.

If those rentals can be cheap, as in no more than 5 for 7 days, I'd gladly support it.
Future PS4 system update 1.70:
Adds a "rich video editor" to help you personalize video clips
Allows you to export to and save videos and screenshots to a USB drive
Adds an HDCP off option for capturing gameplay via HDMI
Introduces "a lot more"--will be announced in the future
A separate PS4 system update will add the ability for Twitch broadcasts to be archived. Currently, the Xbox One version of Twitch allows you to archive your broadcasts. In addition, this upcoming update will deliver broadcasts in 720p, an upgrade over the current resolution.
