crissindahouse said: just opened a link after a google search http://www.tradingeconomics.com/brazil/wages it also seems to be always much higher in november and especially december, maybe extra payments and bonuses or whatever. numbers are from the "Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, Brazil" and they use "real salaries" whatever that means. about croatia, i was once there but that is already too long ago to remember and all i remember is that i drank a lot of "pipi" (which was funny because we say pipi to urine in germany and the colour is almost the same lol) |
We have a full addictional salary in November or December called 13th... so you have one salary per month all the year and in November or December you receive a new salary to used in the year ends shopping (Christmas time).
So we receibe twice the money in November or December (some companies pay in November and others in December... or halp in one month and half in another).
| crissindahouse said: the market is growing fast, seems to make sense to localize at least the big games. how much do they expect to decrease the ps3 price now? i believe ethomaz said that the 360 was 40% cheaper then right? |
Yeap... X360 reduced the price in 40% and have a 65% boost in sales... the PS3 price was reduced 30% today (all the shops already working with the new price).

LemonSlice said: If true, Brazil really is becoming a beast. Do you have some link to official data and whether the figure is gross or net? Maybe I've been swayed, if a movie is filmed in Brazil you'll see things like the favelas in Fast Five. If it's filmed in Croatia you'll see things like Game of Throne's King's Landing (filmed in Dubrovnik). There aren't things like favelas in Croatia. There are some shanty towns occupied by gypsies but on a much smaller scale, and the situation is no where near as bad as in Serbia. It's funny how some of the things most iconic to Brazil are poor people. |
That a half wrong vision about Brazil...
There are poor and rich in favelas... at Rio the most expensive and rich party (disco party I guess) are in favelas... the rich attend the favelas... there are big house (masions) in favela.
Of course... there are a lot of poor people in favelas but there are the rich that dominates the favelas too.
In resume I can't really call the people in Brasil that poor... most guys have a nice live with TVs, Sound System, cars, etc at home... if you have a good work you can buy everything and live a good life.
There are a lot of poor guys but the poor that didn't have even food to eat is low.
It is a nice place to live... I think the small violence here is bigger than outside but the big violence is small.... I don't know if you understand... I mean in quantity... we have a lot more cases of small violence but a lot less of big violence... I don't know how to explain.
In any case I guess that more than 60% of population have condition to buy a videogame console.

Here the 13rd mandatory by law if you have more than 20 hours per week job.
There are others bonus too like my company that have a bonus called PLR paid half in September and half in April... and another bonus that you receive per efficiency (you have a score and if you do more than you job require you have a bonus) paid in March.
In vacation you receive more 1/3 of the salary... so if you receive R$3000 then in the 30 days vacation you receive R$4000.

lol that's weird, when you don't work you get more money to have money for your vacation haha. i bet the companies love to pay that...not

LemonSlice said: Not true, the average wage here is a bit higher than that, and in Brazil is nowhere near 700EUR. |
Depends of the region and the job.
For example in Southeast (where are Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, etc) the average is even bigger for IT jobs... in fact a trainee have a salary close to R$1000,00 (US$500).
I have a good salary for my job (not great) and receive three to four times the 700EUR but there are guys that do the same job and receive over 4000EUR (> R$10,000)
I'm studing now to try to passa in a test for a job that pay close to R$15,000 (US$7500)... so if everything happened like I hope then I will receive a AMAZING salary here.
It is not too hard to gain money if you have study in my area (IT - Information Technology) but others areas have more trouble like Education pays so little here and that is a bad thing.
I like here.

Exactly.
You didn't work and receive more lol but that ok here because it is mandatory by the law... the companies have become accustomed... they hate more the ammount of taxes paid out of the employee salary... it close to another salary that go to government... if I receive R$2000 the company have to pay close to R$4000 because all the taxes paid to government.
If you get fired then the company have to pay close to 10 times your salary to fire you lol.
It is all in the law.
The official PR.
PLAYSTATION®3 TO BE LOCALLY MANUFACTURED IN BRAZIL
New Local Manufacturing Initiative to Drive Significant PS3® Price Reductions for Brazilian Gamers;
Reinforces Long-Term Commitment to Brazil Gaming Market
São Paulo, Brazil, May 7, 2013– At a press conference held in São Paulo, Brazil, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. today announced the local manufacturing of the PlayStation®3 (PS3®) computer entertainment system as part of its commitment to invest in the growth of the gaming industry in Brazil. The PS3 systems are manufactured by Sony Brasil Ltda. in Manaus, state of Amazonas. The suggested retail price of a locally manufactured PS3 (250GB) is $1,099 Reais (MSRP).
Both Andrew House, President and Group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc., and Jack Tretton, President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America, participated in the event to acknowledge the significant milestone.
“Sony Computer Entertainment continues to invest in the Brazil game market as part of our long-term commitment to the country and its gamers,” said House. “Locally manufacturing PlayStation 3 in Brazil will benefit gamers, retailers and developers. The local manufacture of PlayStation 3 is expected to infuse the Brazilian economy with approximately $300 million over the next 12 months.”
“Brazil is home to some of the most passionate gamers in the world and we’re focused on providing them with the best entertainment experiences that can only be found on PlayStation,” said Tretton. “With today’s manufacturing announcement and the amazing lineup of localized games, there’s never been a better time to join the PlayStation family if you live in Brazil.”
Other announcements included the much anticipated action-adventure game from Naughty Dog, The Last of Us, which will launch in Brazil simultaneously with the worldwide release, fully localized in Brazilian Portuguese. In addition, Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto V will be the first Grand Theft Auto ever to be localized with text into Brazilian Portuguese. During the event, Sony Computer Entertainment also announced a new software bundle for God of War Ascension that includes a 250GB PS3 system and the God of War: Ascension game for R$1,099 (MSRP).
Mark Stanley, General Manager, Latin America, for Sony Computer Entertainment America, who hosted the event, also announced the launch of a major communications campaign that will run in Brazil throughout 2013 as an extension of the popular “Viva Em Estado Play” that has been running across Latin America.
“This communication campaign will inspire millions of Brazilians to immerse themselves in the world of PlayStation. As part of this celebration, we have created an opportunity for 10 Brazilian gamers to each win one of the first PS3 systems made in Brazil,” said Stanley. “What better way to celebrate Brazil’s passion for gaming.”
