It's about friggin' time Sony starts looking at Brazil as a serious market for gaming! Even though I live in Portugal, I'm Brazilian and I can tell you it is much harder to be a gamer and support original products there. In the PS1/PS2 days, everyone had chipped consoles and bought pirated games because the games used to cost a fortune and were downright hard to find. The situation is changing and more and more people are preferring to buy original games instead of pirating them, which is very good for the industry AND for the Brazilian market. It is very clear that the mind frame is changing for both consumers and the gaming industry, There are still some problems, though, namely the heavy taxes that the Brazilian government imposes on games and consoles. But the future is sure looking bright for us Brazilian gamers.
