The 60-Buck Dilemma
A great 3-page article on why games cost $60. This is part of page 1:

Re: The 60-Buck Dilemma
Well, I will not speak about this, because I live in a different country, where original copies for PS3 and X360, if you found them around, costs about US$ 100, US$ 120, converting to local money, R$ 200+
Importation taxes... |

Dot, Brazil. Import something from US or Europe and, in some cases, the price doubles.

Re: The 60-Buck Dilemma
Yeah, converting WITHOUT our taxes, that boost the price to around 150. 200+, in some stores.
When PS3 was released, I don't the price in US$ but, IIRC, here was R$ 5.000+ The problem is just the massive taxes, because if it was a "clean" conversion, without so much taxes, yeah, it would be a lot better. |

Buy from Amazon. I don't know if they have taxes or ship to Brazil. |
