Can u buy for example PS4 in Russia ? If yes - what is the price of consoles/games ? Ofc if it is in stock.

Yes its in stock. Russia is a Sonyland actually, since PS1. The official price of PS4 is 18900 roubles (around 450 euros), new games are 2700 rub (around 67 euros). (I use old euro currency rate since now its jumping very hard and isn't stabilized yet).
Its expensive for usual people. In Russia the most popular console is usually the one which is easyly pirated ))

how are russian women so hot?! that's probably "racist" but,.. daaamn.

i'm a travel bug and russia is in my top 5 places i'd like to go. suggestions on the "best of" list for russia? as an english/spanish only speaker how well can i get around? ...i get the impression that, like most of the world these days, russia is pretty english friendly.

Not so much. If you get lucky, you'll meet english talking citizens. But overal, 90% of russians don't know any language except Russian. Kinda shame :(((

doesn't really matter if only 10% speak english so long as those 10% are working the tourist districts and public transit ticket booths.   i mean, places like cambodia was a breeze for me to travel and it's not because a majority of the citizens speak english.   ..just that they do have an infrastructure that is very tourist friendly.

You should go to Saint Petersburg. Its amazing and very tourist friendly. 
But if you want to understand Russia you should go to the countyside for several months. After some fights with locals and som decaliters of local samogon (moonshine) - you'd understand what a Russia is much better! )

1) As Russian, I find our woman hot, but Scandinavian (Norway, Sweden) are more hot for me. And being racist ( a bit) in Russia is not something strange and awful.

2) Visit Moscow and Saint-Petersburg. Unfortunately, English level of our people isnt really high, ask young people if you want to get adequate answer.

In some of Russian foul language 'Knack' means 'small pieces of shit on the hair around shithole'. So this game became a local mem very fast.

But fans of Sony says its a best thing in gaming since Crash.

They actualy upped it, due to exchange rates. like 20990r or something.
