Sadly wii hasn't and won't be release here in Brazil. ¬¬

I was planning buying one in the States, but i had to buy a Stethoscope first (actually asked a friend of mine to bring me one - 180 dollars in the USA and 700 dollars in Brazil). Hate all these taxes...

Do you know why it hasnt been released in Brazil? Is the PS3 or X360 has also been released there?

Really don't know why. I mean, once video games were made here in Brazil. Back at N64's days, they were produced here. Nowadays only by stores that import them.

Two years ago, just as wii was released, there was an official importer, and it cost 1200 dollars. By then, ps3 was 3000 dollars ¬¬ Nowadays, i don't know if there's just one importer or more.

It's such a shame that they really overcharge video games.

 

What's "funny" is that now, ps3 and wii cost about the same and xbox a bit more. (ps3 U$700-750, wii U$ 650, xbox 800U$).
