MightyJordan Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 On November 18, 2009, Sony Computer Entertainment made its latest console launch in Brazil: the PlayStation 2.Priced at R$799 (just over ?279), the nine-year-old console is now set to become the hottest gift in South America this Christmas, perhaps competing with the Sinclair C5 and Jurassic Park on VHS. According to Gizmodo Brazil, there is hope for Brazlian punters hoping to join the rest of the world in the 21st century; Sony apparently sells some older PS3 games in the country (?69 each, thanks) - just not the actual hardware to play them on. Hmm. At those prices, it's no wonder piracy is quite popular in South America. Source:b> CVG What I find weird is that they're selling PS3 games over there, but you can't even get the console itself over there:wacko:o: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunamonkey Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Seems odd, but they get all their stuff from Paraguay. The duty free shops on the border are immense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dhilian Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 PS2 and PS3 have always being available on the entire country, but not on Sony's Store. Americanas/Submarino and many others sells it: http://www.americanas.com.br/home/begin.do...ryGroupId=10741 http://www.submarino.com.br/produto/12/214...man+++cabo+hdmi But fact is those products listed above are overtaxed by the Gov nearly 60% of the real value therefore is much more budget friendly buying those consoles in Paraguay.

Rodrigo Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Actually it's just "official". I am pretty sure the console has been sold since day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS2/PS3 were always sold in Brazil and if that is "News" it comes with a delay of almost a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
