Brazilians are so poor that they got the PS2 in 2009

Brazilians are so poor that they got the PS2 in 2009.

It was 9 years in the West and Japan that we had it and in 2009 the PS2 was already dead because the PS3 was already available.


Do you realize...? Meanwhile we are playing on the PS4 for 4 years, Brazilians play to the PS3...

I remember being with kid in Brazil playing some knockoff console and mentioning I had a ps2 because he asked.
He had a meltdown and screamed at his dad for not giving him one. I still remember that moment and I wish I souls just have kept my mouth shut so I wouldn’t feel bad for the parents.

Why the French proxy?

Taxes here are so high, it's almost impossible average BR get a video game.

It's not exactly because poverty, it's because astronomic taxes

It’s because Brazil taxes the shit out of foreign electronics iirc. A new gen console there at release might cost like $1000 or something.

Why do you keep being so retarded with protectionism?

I got PSone only in 2001 and PS2 in 2004.

yeah lmfao, I had my ps1 in 2002~, ps2 in 2007~ and first pc with internet in 2008

never had money for ps3 or 4

brazilians play their fps shooter on the streets
how do like that, nerdy boi?

me too
used ps1 gifted by uncle and ps2 2004 with eye toy and eye camera

>only get to buy ps1 when i got straight a in national exam (2003)
>don't have the courage to ask for ps2 because it was more expensive
>2006, another big national exam, also got straight a
>now have the courage to ask for ps2 because the price has gone down
>"you already have ps1, why need ps2"
>finally get ps2 after my mum talked to my dad
>2008, another big national exam, the biggest of all
>got 9a but 1b
>no gift no congratulation
>dream to own xbox360 is crushed

I'm always amazed when I watch American kids on TV get presents on their birthday and Christmas. In my younger mind I always questioned what they have done to deserve presents.

Wait, what?

How much is the tax?

I don't know. People here care more about PC games.

I don't care about videogames since I'm not 12 anymore

70% is taxes.

so thats why there is so much brazilians in GT6, fuck you brazil you cant race clean

i mean the ps2 is pretty cool.....

Because videogames are cheaper now.

I got the ps2 in 2004 i remember clearly you fucking liar fag

Wtf I feel bad for Brazilians now

This, why do you retards from Sup Forums believe in any random faggot OP?

Wtf I'm moving to Brazil now

>tfw they are in the golden age of gaming

No, more like $600
And we have current gen consoles

ah, so this explains why Brazilian tourists spend their time here on video game shops.

It's your nostalgia which is talking.

It's an AAA game.

AAA =/= "wonderful"

read dead is gonna be shit
rockstar learned their lesson with gta V, that lesson being that microtransactions sell and not actual good SP campaigns.

>6th gen was good
ew

This
Don't buy that garbage

whatever, I got ps3 last year to catch up on backlog since PC gaming sucks ass nowadays. now I can play all those exclusive and in december there was easy cfw way released so even better.

I just pretend microtransactions don't exist and I never buy them

>Detroit becoming human
You realize that's Davis Cage game, right? It will turn out like all the others. It will have a few very good scenes spaced out between many terrible and boring ones.

No mate, the entire focus of the game will be on MP and on garbage paywall content like GTA online.
||||Look at hos much SP content has been added to GTA V, practically none, because the MP makes money. And thats gonna be the focus

>God of War III

....ok....

"Officially" released. That doesn't mean many people didn't get it before that, imported of course. And even then, the PS4 was released in all of South America the same day as in Europe.

We didn't get the Xbox 360 officially until 2012, yet the PS3 was officially released here around 2008.

Do you wanna play online with obnoxious Lat*Noids?

White people are light with their kids, nonwhites though are harsh so they could have a bright future

I bought a PS2 in 2010 to play Sakura Wars V.

I was a extremely popular kid back in the 90's every kid wanted to come to my house and play,

BTW, my dad worked for... Canon.

Wh*tes are weak

This.I had a PS2 before 2009

such is life in the favelas

I have a ps4, Samir
