GS News - Brazilian PS4s costs $1,850 USD and Drive Club delayed?

in Romania/Europe it will cost around 550 dolars

Just delay the release of the PS4. We need games to play.

XBONE will cost here in Brazil 950$ , guess what console people will buy ?? Thats right WiiU, Brazil will be the only country which WiiU will be the top console

Guys, PS4 is region free, just order one from the US (or Portugal?). Spend your money elsewhere and maybe they will back off those "import and tax" fees.

What we brazilians do... travel to US and buy it over there :)

By the way, taxes here are really high, but they don't quadruple the price, more like double, the rest is the companie's greed.

Well, I´m a brazilian gamer too, and i was also looking foward to put my hands on a PS$ sometime in the near future, but after these sad news, I guess I´ll have to keep my Xbox 360 for quite some time yet. Not that there is anything wrong with it, I love it, but DAAAMN... I wanna a sony console so bad!

@Sohereiam on pc you have Steam so in a long run it would be a better option, the major problem is having the money to make one of course

Why the delays? Because most people today are incompetent. Example-

I pulled into the mall yesterday to grab lunch. I told the guy at the counter to give me 3 iced teas in a bottle. He handed me an apple juice. I said, "No, I asked for 3 iced teas." He left the apple juice on the counter, grabbed one iced tea, and then pushed the apple juice and the 1 iced tea toward me and started to ring it up. . . . . I walked away.

i honestly dont get the point of this show..she just repeats everything they've already posted on the website rather than anything new
feebackula on the other hand is amazing !

I'm curious, can anyone tell me how many of the next gen titles are actually going to run at 1080p and 60 fps? I remember months back when the specs had been released for the next gen, some people were saying "OMG 4K gaming!". I knew that certainly wouldn't be the case, but I did think that 1080p at 60 fps was what was being aimed for this gen. I've heard mention here and there of various games that will either be sub 1080p or 30 fps but have lost track of which ones.

I must confess my optimism is waning a little the closer we get.

We(Brazil)will paythetickettoMiami,buyPS4there,walk around,buyother stuff,come backand savesome money -comparedto ourPS4k.

Ps.: Tax in Brazil are rated in 100%.. the plus go to Sony it self

Hmmm. Well Forza 5 will keep me busy for awhile anyways.

There's a lot of piracy in Brazil, so it won't make much diference for some. But nevertheless, Brazil is the 4ª country in videogames consuming, and is such a shame Sony is doing this. They're risking losing a very big market.

I don't know were you are from Jess, but the price is not just high, the price is cruel.

If we compare the minimum wage and taxes system of Brazil and United States, we receive 1,5USD the hour, less than a 1/5 the minimum of US, we pay in a year 3 times more taxes than an US citizen.

I remember a time when I paid 110USD for a PS3 game.

DriveClub being delayed is quite the hit to the PS4's launch line up if you ask me, that and watch Dogs were two of the games I was looking forward too.

The big news to me was that ridiculous price tag. It's not the first time Sony did it, the VIta retailed for about US$780.00 here when it launched and don't mention the PS3 please.

I was seriously disappointed because Sony did so much right. For now I'm sticking with the PS3 and the pc, but next year, when games I look forward to play begin to launch (kingdom Hearts 3 and FFXV for example) I'll gladly buy a Brazillian Xbox One to play them if the PS4 price is still that ridiculous.

Just so you know Jess, that is the recommended price for the PS4 games, Most PS3 games here retail for the same stupid price they do in Australia. SAdly. :(

Any explanation as to why they have to fork out so much dough in brazil?

@Pema Mendez I personally hate that, I always choose a name usually a preposition or onomatopeia and often in the main language of the server and never use ".br" at end of the name.

@macaque12 @RoadStar1602 @Sohereiam I have moderate PC for gaming and it cost me 1800USD, a powerful one would have cost about 3800USD.

For those unaware taxes for PC parts are of 110% while games consoles and portables are 80% and games CD, DVD, BD, UMD, Cartridge and download is 60%.

Girls can learn something from her..

@RoadStar1602 @Sohereiam What Sohereiam said, if he meant what I think he meant, PC is actualy worse in Brazil, to buy a decent rig it cost 3x or 4x times more than in other places. We have one of the highest tax rates of the world, we like to make our politicians richer and richer every damn year
