Mar 24th 2010 4:22PM (Joystiq)Sony finally launches PS2 in Brazil (or, welcome to 2000!)
Nov 24th 2009 1:32PM (Joystiq)Games here cost R$ 250,00 ( US$ 150,00). Microsoft official releases go for R$ 160 (US$ 90,00) .
I travel a lot , therefore I buy all my gaming stuff on the US (importing is not possible , you'll have to pay 60% on importing taxes and 40% on local taxes). I have already bought 2 xboxes (RROD) for less than the price of one here.
I buy my games for 60 USD on the US and sell them used on the Brazillian equivalent of ebay for 70 dollars. ( which is really cheap by brazillian standards)
Xbox live has not been officially released here, although lots of brazillian use it through an american account ( i am a member since the original xbox)
Piracy is really an issue, but PS3 games cannot be pirated. Why do they cost the same ?!?
The Zeebo is a joke, but I guess it must sell really well to really poor people here .
And we don't suffer it only in games ... A Toyota Corolla costs US$ 30,000.00 here !!
We pay the highest interest rates in the world also ...
Considering the above, you can see why our people is such a poor one.
