Quote:
Funny story from our sun-drenched friends at GIzmodo Brazil; today, November 18, 2009, Sony have decided to begin officially selling the PlayStation 2 in Brazil.

It's priced at R$799, which works out to be around USD$461. So, yes, it's expensive to buy video games in Brazil. Our man Pedro tells us that with a nine year-old console only just launching, there obviously isn't an official PS3 presence, though he says Sony do sell some older PS3 games. For R$199 (USD$115).

Ever wanted to know why piracy was rife in South America, those prices might get you in the right direction.

Laughing

Ridge Racer: (Arcade version it ain't Very Happy)



NFS-Carbon: (Oh god, my eyes! It burns!)



Resident Evil 4: (LMFAO! ROFL! KEKEKE!)


In fact, the only ones that even look remotely "good" are

Sonic Adventure: (aside from hideous audio and loading times)

Tekken 2: (looks remarkably faithful)

Quake 2: (let's face it, how the fuck old is this game now? My ancient iPaq can run Quake 2 Laughing)

Nope, the NFS Undercover for my WM looks better, runs faster (has better speed sense) and has better controls (accelerometer as wheel ftw). Razz
