Of course, I cannot prove this right now, but, I am not your enemy dude, I just wanted to pre-order the PS4 in my home contry, sue me.

This is something that does not depend on the Sony BR. They are trying, but they need permission from Sony International. They certainly are at the moment trying to get the best price possible, but in Brazil it is not easy. You know that.


You are right, but that is my point: They said to me "We are talking to the government". Which is crazy, since we have the worst politicians in the Universe.

I said "Don´t wait for the government, they will take years to change a couple of laws so you can have a better price, just anounce whatever is reasonable for you and let us pre-order".

Them, they said: "Dear costumer, wait for the news coming soon, we love you."

And the news came indeed, from MS.br: pre-orders are up, but not for the PS4. =/

I just wish they could get hteir shit together, MS has the lead here doing almost nothing, it would be so easy for Sony to get the edge in Brazil, but they act like borderline retardeds most of the time and this makes me crazy.



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

I had thought taxes had come down a bit from 5-10 years ago. Or did they and still that high in Brasil?


They dropped a little bit on refrigerators and stoves, also a little bit in cars, around 3% less than it used to be.

But, overall, IT IS TAX PAYER HELL in here. We have 500U$D PS3s and stuff. Games are cheaper now, I have paid 70U$D for The Last of Us and old games drop the price (it is a brand new thing here the discounted old game). I have paid 25U$D for Fifa12 three weeks ago.

Shame.  I always liked Brasil and hope the people there can get some reform as lowering taxes would make for a more dynamic economy.  Even staying at high levels like 20% would see a difference. Last resort can come visit the US and our 6%-12% taxes on goods. Bring a spare suit case and load up this holiday. ;)

there's a limit of about a few hundred dolars we can import at once. if we visit us and buy lot's of stuff like you said, we'd be forced to pay the abusive taxes on them.

What Sony announced?

PS4 will launch in Brasil at the same date than US.

Why they didn't give any price or opened preorders yet?

Because they are discussing with government to get a deal for a better price here.

For they have time to do that... the launch of PS4 is in November... so they have a lot of time to make a good deal with the government.

Sorry then.  My only thing to add is can vote people in to reform tax code then.

Yes, my friend, and you know what it means here in Brazil, right? Suck a lot of discusting full of diseases politician cock and get anal rapped dozens of times before the Congress says: "Get out, we will not give nothing. This is BRAZIL! (This is Sparta style)".

Can be true but any attempt to give us a better price is good, no?

"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)."

Well, this was fun.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
