Build and Shoot

This is Paulo de Campos aka Lord Eternal, a 34 year old gamer living in the city of Salvador and the proud owner of the first PS4 purchased in Brazil. The next-gen console set Paulo back a whopping R$ 4000 or the equivalent $1800 due to an outrageous import tax .

GH – And why buy here, paying R$ 4.000,00, if it can be bought by other means at a lower price?

Primarily because of the full warranty, and secondly because it’s more accessible to me. I only had to go to the mall to fetch it.

GH – So you didn’t think R$ 4.000,00 was expensive?

No, I’m used to video games being expensive. I’ve been a gamer for 30 years, after all this time I am used to the prices. U​nfortunately, in Brazil it has never been easy to buy games or consoles, the prices are always excessive.

GH – What are your thoughts so far about the Brazilian PS4? Is it all in Portuguese? Did you buy games, the camera?

Due to the PSN servers being overloaded I couldn’t play yet. I found no physical games, and I could’t download the ones I had already bought on PSN either. I didn’t buy the camera because it wasn’t available in any store.

GH – What would you say to the people who will criticize you for spending R$ 4.000,00 on a console?

That’s a good question. I’d say that it’s a free world, we are in a free and capitalist country. Everyone is free to buy whatever they want. If it’s on the shelf of a store, it’s for the public to purchase. It’s no big deal.

can't he just use eBay to buy this console like 900$ or smth like that??????

1st no one cares
2nd we should get a "news" section in the off-topic zone for people in the news team, making the news team badge actually worth something

He could, but he himself mentioned he liked the ease of just driving to the mall and picking it up.
Besides it would still come out quite expensive, maybe some 1.100$.

News team badge is given to people in the news team, a news section would be cool though

well, as far as i know, anyone who asks dan, gets the badge, so it doesn't really mean anything, does it?
the news section would serve for people to show why they should get it and don't just ask for it because they want a badge

I'm not quite sure whether the news team is only for Ace of Spades related news, or outside world news. For example, things like this. It would be interesting to have a forum for stuff like news from world that allows discussions on that thread.

I don't know why it's so expensive there. But that guy has a very good point.

Retarded amounts of taxes.
