Xbox 360 launches in Brrrrrrrazil

Nov 15th 2006 8:01PM (Joystiq)
Scott, it depends on where you are actually. I live 35miles from São Paulo and there are little problems with crime here. I am 21 and never got robbed, thats a good sign I suppose.

Microsoft to launch Xbox 360 in Brazil next month

"Analysts believe the 360 can sell 11 million units in Brazil"

Are these the same analysts that said the 360 would sell 10 million in the US? LOL!!!!

Being from south america. I seriously doubt there's even 5 million in the *entire continent* that can throw away $1,400 on a console.




Dude... don´t be so sure to say something that you don´t actually know.
Believe it or not, there are A LOT of gamers here. See the text, we´re 15th in the sales numbers. It is very expensive now, yes, but it will get cheaper with time and it WILL sell a lot. I already know a lot of ppl that own a 360. Brazil is the 8th country in Live users.


For the ones that asked why its so expensive: taxes. Brazil has the highest taxes in the world, and MANY taxes. Most of them we actually have no idea what they are for.

360 Splinter Cell: Double Agent at 1080p? Ubisoft: yup [update 1]

What ?

Splinter Cell Double Agent Not 1080p
Report from Gamepro says it is -- Ubisoft says 'nope.'
by Luke Smith, 10/18/2006

Microsoft is supporting 1080p on its Xbox 360, we know this, but Gamepro is reporting that Ubisoft's just-released Splinter Cell: Double Agent (read Shoe's review here) will support 1080p displays. The image Gamepro provides is a shot of the Xbox 360 dashboard with a selectable 1080p display and says representatives from Ubisoft told them that the game would support 1080p.

When we asked Ubisoft for clarification, company reps told us: "It's 1080i." Even if Double Agent supported 1080p right now -- and it doesn't -- there aren't any retail Xbox 360s that would support the feature. That update hasn't been released, yet.
