PlayStation 2 finally launches in Brazil for the bargain price of around US $462

You read that right. Sony's PlayStation 2, which the great majority of the world has been enjoying since 2000, is just now officially touching ground in Brazil. We're pretty sure it's been making its way into the country for many years by not-so-official means, but if you've gone the legit route, last-generation's game console king can be yours for just 799 Brazilian Real, which we're sad to say translates to about $461 in US currency. Yeah, we're expecting this to just fly off the shelves.

Is everybody out of their minds???

PS2 has been available in Brazil for a long time for lot less than that. Click on the link below and see for yourself. Lojas Americanas is a store equivalent to Target. PS2 Slim is shown here for R$499 which exchanges for about $285, which is still expensive compared to the US but it is not $460...

Now, if this article was suppose to be about PS3, then the price is correct.
