Forums - Gaming - Xbone pre-orders in Brazil start tomorrow for "only" US$ 995

360s are made in brazil, and got a nice price reduction, so the same will eventually happen with the X1



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

didn't ethomaz say that sony planned to sell ps4 below 800 in brazil? or was it 1000? if 800, it would be almost like in usa just twice as much for both lol.

Jack Tretton said that but I call bullshit... R$800 is close to $399... Tretton thinks that they will be able to exempt from government taxes and fees.

He needs to be more reasonable like R$1200 is more plausible even so I believe in R1800.


Anything under R$ 1500 (US$ 678) would be surprising.

Since the factories are alredy here. It shouldn't take so long for MS and Sony to start production here. I hope so.



Doesn't Brasil have a high taxes on import?

I don't know but here in Argentina the Wii U is about 7000 AR$ wich is a mighty lot for a single console. I think if you translate it to dollars assuming it's about 4,50 dollars an AR$: 1600 US$. Altough this problems arise thanks to the "Cepo Cambiario" where we can't buy dollars and the dollar on the parallel market is about 8 AR$ for a single dollar :( it even reached as high as 10 US$ once. So with this in mind anyone knows how much the ps4 will be here? I am guessing about 8000 AR$... :(

everyone just be grateful for living in north america, because the prices for gaming in south america is HIGH! im guessing minimum wage is higher so maybe it balances out?

Pretty cheap considering the Wii launched for $1195 USD and the X360 for $1495 USD. Of course the X360 came with PD Zero, Kameo and PGR3, but that Wii price... man.

Anyways it's cheaper and easier to import from Amazon even with all the fees and taxes. You will probably be getting an XB1 for less than $800 USD through there.

You would be paying more if you imported it yourself.

 

US$ 499 + US$ 80 of shipping  =  R$ 1279

R$ 1279 + 60% of import taxation =  R$ 2046

R$ 2046 + 18% of ICMS =  R$ 2414

Final price would be R$ 2414 =  US$ 1092

 

* ICMS varies depending on which state you live in

 

Microsoft must have made some agreement with the  goverment to reduce taxes a little bit or got a discount for the shipping costs.
