  a much better quote from the source is

  quote

  Brazil applies a. 60 percent flat import tax on most manufactured retail goods

  I'm no expert but I'd expect brazil to have the same type of laws about piracy as other countries, they must might have the ability to crack down on it. If the government does have that 60% tax you can be sure they don't want rampant piracy going on

  O: That's insane prices. If they're the same as the US or something, then that's insanely expensive.

  Apparently, this is ovrpriced by, what, $200 American dollars from $220 that it is in America...
  
  
  So, like $400 for a Wii?

  Look if 400 Brazilian dollars roughly equals 200 US Dollars, a Wii = 500USD, and a PS3 = 900USD.
  
  That's roughly the same price as the UK, it's just a little higher.

  Well its largely because of Inflation there and state tax or whatever. But still i feel sorry for the Brazilians. No one should be paying that much for those systems.
