The big move from Sony regarding PS2 in LA is that they're planning to start manufacturing PS2 hardware and discs in Brazil. This will allow them to lower prices (no import taxes) significantly and start to make real money there. As of now most software sold in Brazil is pirated and nothing strange about it as prices are ridiculous high there. Brazil PS2 userbase is estimated to be around 8 mln so it's quite an opportunity to get them buy legal games. Please visit this thread for more information. BKK is putting great work there regarding LA video games market. |
PS3 launched officialy in Panama that month too, we started to see real promotion now, before, all stores had it imported since we have the dollar and the import costs are low here, i mean, 2 brazilian friends came here, went nuts and went home with 4 bags full of stuff, the overweight cost is still cheaper than buying that there...
