Buying original games in a 3rd world backwater is an expensive endeavour, and the fact that you can’t take two steps without a pirate (yar!) hawking fake console games in your face makes it difficult for even the most conscientious gamer to part with 3 grand for a copy of Final Fantasy XII. Fret not dear friends, your conscience and fears of an NBI crackdown need worry you no more!

Gamehopper is offering a veritable buffet of current and post gen games to whet even the biggest gamer appetite, for the affordable price of 599 pesos a month! I wish them the best of luck, although I can see a host of pitfalls awaiting this business venture, the most prominent being, what happens if all the copies of the game I want to rent are out of stock? Think about it, would you wait a month to play that game, or would you pass a wad of cash to a dirty, eye-patched individual?

Oh and uh, just a tip to the good people of gamestop, the site design and logo is so 1999. Just sayin’.
