Sony Playstation Line is officially launched in Brazil!

  Finally, brothers.

Great news for gamers: Sony Playstation line has just been officially launched in Brazil!

At first, the launch includes games from Playstation 3, Playstation 2 and Playstation Portable, in addition to the PS2 console. There are plans by Sony to bring the manufacturing of the PSP also here in Brazil, which has happened with the PS2 now from this season. Unfortunately, the manufacturing of the PS3, which would contribute to a reduction in the absurd price of the console is still out of the plan

From now on, all games are replaced by warranty, as well as consoles manufactured here. Depending on the type of political relationship with customers, the guarantee may be extended to the PS3, but will depend on several factors.

In the Country of Piracy?

But in fact, PS3 is doing very well here in Brasil. Most people here are PSFanboys that have X360 hacked. This is funny, because everyone thinks that PS3>>>>360 unlike americans, but the price of software just kills the console.

The Salary here is very low too, and the tax are enormous, comparable with japan's taxes. But Corruption is everywhere.

Another interessing fact is the PSP being more popular than DS, until Sony ended with piracy in the early models. The 2000 model is being sold at double the price of 3000 lol.

But PS2 is KING!!! I expect more than 5 millions ps2 sold here, in this fucked up Country.

Ps.: In this Christimass, Brasil will move alot 360 due to LIVE banning.

Ps2.: PS3 is not officially being sold in Brasil...but a few PS3 games are. Games from EA and Konami, usually.

Ps3.: PS1 was officiallzed(?) in 2008, and the price is slightly more expensive than chipped PS2 in the black-market.

(sorry for bad english)

poxa até que enfim
já estava mais do que na hora do Brasil entrar nos planos da sony!
parabéns !

(until finally it was time to get into Brazil's plans sony.
is a pity that not more than the ps3 is a start)

sorry for my English

The price of these games are outrageous. WTF Sony? R$199,00 for Resistance: Fall of Man (U$115,69) and R$249,00 for Uncharted 2 (U$144,75)?!?!

Here in Brazil is complicated because os taxes. This is the problem

Who said the PS2 is on its way out?
