GameHopper is sending console games to doorsteps in the Philippines

My friendly neighborhood GameHopper delivery guy just left. I’ve just signed up for the service, and it’s been awesome so far. What is GameHopper anyways? Simply put, it’s a Philippine-based service that lets me try games out before I buy them.

The best part, I don’t have to leave home. The service delivers and picks-up the games, so all I have to do is pay using my credit card. I then wait for the game I borrowed to arrive.

What’s the game I’m getting? It’s Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. Finally, some shooting/platforming action! I also plan on getting Call of Duty 4 and The Darkness once the FragFX peripheral is restocked.

Here’s even more important news: remember the lifetime membership fee? It’s worth PHP 3,500, so it’s pretty hard to forget. Well, it’s been waived.

No, GameHopper isn’t paying me for this shameless plug. I’m just glad that such a service is available in the Philippines. Yes, it’s the only one of its kind, and I love it. The cheapass in me is breaking out the proverbial champagne bottle.

Kudos to the brains behind GameHopper.
