Sony officially launches the PlayStation 2 (in Brazil)

Sony has some screwed up distribution strategy, with the PS2 launching in Brazil 9 YEARS after most of the world. What's worse: It will be priced at USD$465, more than the PS3 in the US!

As a user candidly pointed out on a Kotaku post about the story:
Asbestos_Underwear: "FedEx overnight from the U.S. is cheaper than that. Not even taxes can explain that price increase. Somebody is getting screwed here."

It seems as though retro gaming the only way of life for many South Americans.
