I was thinking about getting Tekken 7 on my birthday (2/6) but 249 BRL is too much for me.

I think paying up to R$200 on a game is acceptable, considering that's about what a retail game costs in the U.S. anyways. However, you don't find most games at that price.

You did last gen... when the dollar was a LOT weaker xP
Anyway, I agree in part, 200 for a game is acceptable... if it is a RPG, 'cause I'm definitely getting my money worth on it.

I know now 200 is around the equivalent for the USD 60 regular price in USA, but that's because Brazil is deep in shit otherwise 200 is still too much for a game, specially considering how low our average income is. I think games should cost around 120-150, in a non-crisis Brazil, and that's exactly the range I try to wait games to be at, before buying it. It's pretty hard this gen, games are starting to go from 250+, that's double it, but I look until I can find a place within this acceptable range of mine, 120-150 for most games, 180-220 for a RPG.

I started watching Star Trek Next Gen last night, never ever watched before. Afterwards I felt the urge to play Star Ocean.

A game like that... Sure, 200 bucks is ok. 

But... 1-2-Switch? Gimme a break...



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

This is the kind of game that drops price VERY fast man. See Street Fighter 5, it is 37 reais on Wallmart.com right now. Wait 3 months and you will get a great deal =D

It costs $50 in the US, too. At least in this case, it's not Brazil's fault, it's Nintendo's.

Indeed. and 550k in sales, wow... Talk about good marketing for a terrible game. But, then again, Wii Music sold 3 million or so. But, what a oportunity missed. Imagine a simple Switch Sports game at the launch, would be such a good package.

Honestly I wouldn't download 1 2 Switch as a free app to my phone, much less pay 330 for it.

Yes, I agree. But the joke is on us, the Switch is selling like crazy and even 1-2-Switch seems to be getting to the 1 million mark in a few months.

But... really... shameful launch title. I guess Zelda compensates for it.

Oh yes, around 90% taxes in some products...

I guess that happens when the War on Games goes on in a country!

The guy didn't even live in my city, btw xP

I was going to buy it from a store where I a friend of mine (let's call it Y) knew the onwer (let's call it A) when he had a store himself, then my buddy (let's call it Z) told me he found this other guy (let's call him B) that knew worked for A for a long time and now had a store as well, then we spoke with B and he told us he would beat A price's on it for me (because I would pay it full in cash) and not for Z (because he divide it with his card), then I told Z to not accept it because I would tell A that Y was my friend and get us both a better price, then B told us that we would make us both a better price and ship it himself in some hours, and then I told him to accept it, B would come in person with the products in hand afterall so we could test it right there as well before paying, and it went like that xD

Sounds complicated All I had to do was go to the store, and buy one!

Well I could do that as well... buy paying double or more for it

So, the workaround is to have the PS4s built in Brazil, correct?

It´s soooo hard to be a console gamer in Brazil........

Today, I mostly buy used games, with very few exceptions - Breath of The Wild, Persona 5 and Fire Emblem Echoes are the only games I bought this year as new, and only after looking in a lot of retailers and online shops for lower prices, I mean... A LOT!

As for Nintendo, as someone mentioned here... yes, NC Games is importing and selling a few of their games but they´re not importing consoles and acessories. Basically, they´re doing the same thing they did before Gaming do Brasil made a contract with JVLA (official Nintendo distributor for L.A.) years ago.

I know, but I am thinking like Playtronic did back in the day, being all in it. Havint a E-Shop and all.

Also, how do you like Persona? I am interested. Is it as good as Persona 3? Or even P4 Golden?

That's rough... but I can relate. Argentina is the same. 

I'm trying to help my mother to change her 10 year old car but it's hard. They are just too damn expensive.
