PlayStation 4 goes to Brazil, in the region of 1800 USD
Kicking yourself because PlayStation 4 pre-orders are all gobbled up in North America? Why not travel to beautiful Brazil where the platform is set to launch on November 29? Quanto custa, or how much does it cost, you might wonder? With the current exchange rate, the R$3,999 PS4 in Brazil would only hit your wallet for just over the equivalent of $1,800 USD, according to the PlayStation Brazil Blog. Games are priced at R$179, or around $82 USD. On second thought, perhaps you should hold off on that trip. Brazil's video game industry has been labeled "possibly the fastest growing games market in the world when it comes to total consumer spending," according to market research and consulting firm NewZoo. Though the console business continues to grow in Latin America, including in Argentina where the PlayStation 4 is expected to launch at around the equivalent of $1,100 USD, import taxes drastically inflate the price of hardware.

Dressed up right for Leopard release night
We asked for it, and even though I'm kind of regretting it, we got it. On the left is young readers Ben and Austin, dressed for the part (I can't believe no one threw red paint on them) at the Leopard launch this afternoon in Holyoke, MA. And on the right, in the, errr, eMac, is reader Geir Arne from Norway. Boy, do they loves them some hilarious Mac costumes in Norway, because as of this posting, he's on the front page of one of their biggest tech news sites.Oh man, I can't stop laughing, not just at how crazy these guys look, but just at how extremely happy they are to be dressed up like that and buying Leopard. You guys crack me up. All of these guys (and you, if you send us a picture) will be sure to appear in our Halloween costume gallery on Wednesday, so keep sending those pics in! Sure, you could spend hours on a great costume and show it off to one Apple store in the country, but why not take a pic, send it here, and be seen by all the world?
