Wait for the oil market to bounce back, then the Venezuelan currency should recover. It'll at least work for Russia, and i can imagine the Venezuelan economy being just as dependent

Though in the meantime, i would recommend The Homebrew Channel for the Wii. It includes software to make the system region-free, and no mod-chips required, just a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and an SD Card.

... and not because of lack of games or online, because both have a geat library, the best library for my needs anyways, but because of the game prices...

I live in Venezuela so games are too expensive. Wii games go for around 400 thousand Bolivares up to 550. PS3 games get as high as 650 thousand. That's about $180 for Wii games and over $200 for PS3 games.

Now, I heard Sony was starting to get a bit more serious with Latin America, so i expected games to drop. Wasn't the case, atleast not so far.

Anyways, I wanted to know if anyone else is having a similar problem. Anyone else live where you simply can't afford games? Or simply consider the 50-60 dollar price tag too high to begin with.

My advice to you would be to set up an US PSN account. Then, buy games via PSN. Problem solved except for retail games (with rare exceptions like Burnout Paradise, Warhawk, SOCOM, etc.).

I recommend you rediscover the outdoors. I would give up video games if they were that expensive.

The main problem I see hear is that a lot of businesses won't ship to Venezuala, not to mention shipping price would be pretty hefty as well. That is what I am gathering from his responses. It is almost like a lost cause. I wonder how you even got a wii or a PS3.

95% of gamers don't know they are noobs, the 5% who do won't be noobs for long
