I'd be upset too. But if you can just import a PS4 anyways, why would anyone pay (probably) 50-60% more for their console at all?


The import taxes are also 60% of the product value, I just wanted to support the brazilian industry and buy something that generated some jobs here too. But, fuck them, I will import.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Wasn't it confirmed to launch the same day as in the US?

"At the end, Mark Cerny, the Hand of the God (aka Kaz), showed PlayStaiton 4 running Knack. He announced Brazil will receive the console at the same day than US and that they want to sell it below R$1000 (~$460)."

They did, but they said "We sure want to sell it bellow 1000 reais". But, we all know it is impossible. The brazilian made PS3 is 500 U$D at retailers man, do you get it?

Cerny was just trying to be nice, he meant that sony will not overprice the thing, the extra coin will come from taxes, WHICH IS NORMAL in Brazil, I don´t care, but allow me to pre-order at least, be honest with me.

Yes, not same day, but same time window, yes. But, NO PRE-ORDERS yet. And the US demand will put Brazil on hold I think, since Sony.us does his job right.

People from south america have it rough to buy this consoles :(. In Argentina the PS4 will be around 8500 AR$. The only option I see is importing the console :/

Hey man, are you from Argentina? I send you my love, I love Argentina, will travel to Buenos Aires someday =D

How much is 8500 AR$ in U$D?

Who will pre-order a console for US$ 995 here in Brazil ?

Sony should send the brazilian consoles to paraguay, where I can buy them with lower taxes.

Who? Let me tell you a secret about Brazil: there are tons of rich people here, this is the most fucked country in the world, there are people eating lobsters in big yatchs in Angra dos Reis, and children starving in favelas half a mile away from the rich people marina.

We are a 180 million people country with the 7th biggest economy in the world, and people still die of starvation while some others drive around in Ferraris.

If they open the pre-orders, I garantee you they would have at least 100K consoles sold untill launch.

Hehe thanks man Argentina is awesome! But yeah 8500 AR$ if we take the conversion as 1 US dollar 4,50 AR$ it would be ...  1900 US dollars ... but this problem is mainly because we can't import things from other countries or buy official dollars :/. We have to do it in a parallel market, the so called "Blue Dollar" that was as high as 10 AR$ for 1 dollar :/. Still there are other methods to buying the PS4 such as buying it outside an bring it here by a friend who travels there or travel yourself XD. I will get around to get one :P
