I always assumed the difference between renting out PC games and renting out console games was that PC games have to be installed onto your computer. Back in the day, I never needed a CD to play my brand new games, I'd just install it and not worry about the CD. So if you rented a game, you could simply install it and then return it and have a brand new game at a tenth of the price. Then this whole "you need the CD in the machine to play it" thing took off, so renting out games nowadays would be less of a risk.... except for the whole piracy thing.
That being said, I have seen PC games for rent at a small local video store once. Just a few. :)
