No culpo em nada a Sony. Parece que brasileiro não enxerga ou se faz de cego pra ver que o problema tá na carga de impostos absurdas que esse país cobra! Até produto fabricado aqui é vendido mais barato lá fora por causa do abuso que é vender alguma coisa aqui no Brasil!

Brazilian gaming in a nutshell.

So you guys have the system but no games ?

Exactly. It was released here in the last Friday, but with no games, no buyers, or campaign ads. No one gives a sh*t for it, but it has already being mentioned the games will cost around 149 $ bucks.

That's.....stupid.

Brazilian gaming in a nutshell.

Thanks man.

@dragonborn_ct: For the first time in my life I'm glad to be an American. For $4000 I could buy a brand new motorcycle or used car sorry man it must be rough.

@dragonborn_ct: We are very fortunate here to not have to pay the same amount in terms of import tax and things, but it was interesting to see in context how prohibitive a price increase like that over here would really be :O

Wow thanks, I will check that out, very much interested :)

@bumpyboo: Only some rich idiot with loads of money to spend on it. Not even my richest friend (who is a gamer and I believe can afford it very well) wants anything to do with it. He will probably buy it behind our backs but whatevs >_>

Wow, its these import taxes that are absurd. I dunno if its Sony or the government enforcing them, but I was thinking the console would cost much less on Europe too :\

There is this video jedixman posted earlier that explain why gaming is so difficult in Brazil in case you are interested to know how things are over here.

@dragonborn_ct:Out of curiosity I did the maths, and it is equivalent to a £430 console over here suddenly costing £2000 :O Seriously shocked about this now!!

@dragonborn_ct: Woah that does put the price in context, holy heck, how is anyone supposed to afford that?? :O

Hahaha, say the word and I will, mate! :) (Price of me buying a panda suit, a passport, flying over to Sony and wrecking the joint: probably still cheaper than this :/)

@bumpyboo: Thank you my friend, its no exaggeration when the guys here are saying I could use the money to go to the US, buy the console there and go back to Brazil :\

LOL I can picture you doing that dressed like the panda, breaking into Sony headquarters and breaking sh*t up :P

Damn, for that price it better be gold plated and hand delivered by a bunch of swimsuit models!! :O

This is freakin' unbelievable, man. I feel bad for you, and also like I wanna burn something :/

You are very fortunate. Any price below what we got here is good in comparison.

I think they cost like a 1000 in mexico.

@darkazrael999: Rupees are real? =O I had no idea! That's awesome! xD Although, I'd lock your dorm whenever you go out. 0.0 A certain somebody in green may break your pots! D= But wow, that really is expensive. 0.0 Especially compared to a good meal there. Do wish it was cheaper! =O

I was going to get Xbox One regardless. Sure I was pissed at them at first, but its my childhood console.

lol true... Damn that is unexpected sentence O_o

@dragonborn_ct: Xbox One ftw! They were kind of greedy at first, but then they admitted they were wrong and changed it. Sony hold their head too damn high, it seems.

@darkazrael999:

Nowadays, it costs around 700 R$, the price a PS4 would cost without importation taxes. Its affordable I guess with a lot of money saving though in my case, my family income receives a above average in come I suppose.

I have lost interest now, man >_>

I can't believe I am saying this but if the Xbox One turn out to be good, guess which one I will pick? Well there is always mah good ol' PC.

Thanks, duder. You think Microsoft is the money grabbing one when the Xbox is cheaper than the PS4 here. F**k.

I have been Ed-ja-ma-cated. =)

That is some serious bullsh*t.

@lvenger said:

And I though Microsoft were the greedy ones......................

Damn that's massively unlucky. My condolences for Sony's greedy, money grabbing ways.

I used the Brazilian to US currency calculator on Google. So the PS4 would be a little over $1800.

Dude just order the PS4 from overseas lol.

Well, to be fair...a good working Laptop also costs around that much, man. How much do Computers and other stuff cost in Brazil as compared to the PS4?

@allstarsuperman: lol that is Portuguese :P

I dunno why >_>

O_______________________________________________O

You know what...? My rant pales in comparison to this. The PS4 now outright deserves to be pirated.

They need to break into Sony, steal f**king everything, tie the executives together and dump toilet feces all over them. Cause f**k 'em.

The currency difference between American Dollars and other currencies is too much, Sami.

The currency in India is Rupees. The price of the PS4 in India is around 30,000 Rupees. To put it in perspective; a meal at a good restaurant is around 200-300 Rupees.

@dragonborn_ct :- Say the word, dude and we gonna pull off some GTA style heists at Sony HQ.

$100 US Why is everything so cheap there? I could work 4 hours and get that sh*t and some if I convert it.

you guys and your secret codes.

I am tempted to change my profile's allegiance to the villainous red just so I can add an evil laugh

@silkyballfro94 said:

IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@consolemaster001: I know buddy, but there are circumstances that worse this situation. The video jedixman posted above explain fairly simple why.

What you just said is what probably will happen and will contribute to piracy, if things go south.

@dragonborn_ct: Dude that sucks. :(

I thought Brazil's economy was prospering ?

Here's an idea: Buy Ps4's from America and sell them in Brazil at a profit. That's what my friend said when i told him this lol.

Couldn't agree more.

Some people are saying that they are going to pirate the sh*t out of the Sony games and that is nothing but karma. I wouldn't argue against it.

Sony and Mircosoft have one thing thing in common

Greed

F**k that. I would steal it.

...

I once was offered a job that was based in Brazil, I chose to stay in Singapore for personal reasons... Dodged a bullet

@dragonborn_ct: Ha ha. It is just....yeah.

Its actually the other way around, the dollar cost doubly the Brazilian currency (reais). The price without taxes would have been 800 reais instead of 400 US$

At least its affordable for the gamers with average income if they save enough money. Oh and welcome back, CM :)

Wow... Here PS4 will cost about 400-500 euros which is about 550-687 U.S. dollars. Although I should point out that this price is about bundles and not just the console itself.

Anytime. I found them randomly when I discovered their video analyzing how religion is treated in games. Ever since I've been subscribed to their channel.

@dragonborn_ct: brazillian curancy is double on the dollar right?

Already subscribed. Thank you for recommending them, bro :D

You should look into other videos by Extra Credits. They have a YouTube channel, and they upload new stuff every Thursday. They are very insightful, thought provoking, and rather intellectual. I really like their approach to video games and the industry as a whole.

Yes, I have been saving money. I am just not going to buy a PS4 with it >_>

Thanks bro. And yeah, this video is chillingly accurate of our situation, these guys did their research well on what happens in Brazilian gaming. I think people should see this video to better understand our situation.

Actually I would have to take a trip to Canada

ლ(ಠ----ಠლ)

You know something is wrong when you have a atheist invoke Jesus's name :P

As you can see in the table above, PS4 is more expensive in Brazil than anywhere else.

It probably would be cheaper to take a trip to the US, buy it here, and bring it back.

Wow. I'm really sorry to hear about that, man.

It's unfortunate, but really, this kind of thing does encourage piracy.

I'm curious: how do you feel about this video, and is it accurate?
