How much a Wii costs on USA? U$250,00? that's very cheap, but here they are as expensive as hell, say 200% more expensive. This is called the "Brazil price"

But no fear! We have a neighborer called Paraguay that sell every type of gadgets for half the price, so it's better just buy a Wii there ;)]]>Nov 12th 2008 7:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/12/tectoys-zeebo-gaming-console-to-run-on-3g-network-in-brazil/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/12/tectoys-zeebo-gaming-console-to-run-on-3g-network-in-brazil/
If you take into account that in my job I make U$S 260/month.... it's easy to understand why I don't have a next-gen console.....

On the other hand, almost everybody here uses pirated software, and specially games... (I don't know anyone that has a legal copy of windows, except those that come preinstalled with a new pc).

It's 599 BRL (R$), like 260 US$, and 10 BRL (+-4,5 US$) to 30 BRL (+-14 US$) for the games!
