182w ago - Hard to believe after Sony's PlayStation 2 console just turned
nine years old it would finally hit Brazil, eh?
That is exactly what Sony did today, according to Kotaku (linked above), the PS2 has officially launched in Brazil.
To quote: "It's priced at R$799, which works out to be around USD$465. So, yes, it's expensive to buy video games in Brazil.
Our man Pedro tells us that with a nine year-old console only just launching, there obviously isn't an official PS3 presence, though he says Sony do sell some older PS3 games. For R$199 (USD$115).
Ever wanted to know why piracy was rife in South America, those prices might get you in the right direction."
i am on 3.55 cfw and want to go to 4.4cfw , if i do so will my backed up games on my ps3's hard dive will be lost/deleted or will it be retained ? plz...
PS2 indeed...
=D
It was my present of graduation
Now he is just standing there without games to play because they are so expensive for me.
And I sold my games and bought a nintendo wii, yes 13 ps3 games gave me a fully modded nintend wii that I can download the games and play freely.
Doing it with my girlfriend just at this moment!
Go homebrew!
Just to give you an idea the PS3 retails for 870U$S at SonyStyle and that's just the console. And latest games retail for like 130U$S.
That's 1000U$S and you have people complaining about piracy... :s
(This are Sony's official prices in Argentina)
