Can any brazilian say if this is any good? I don't know whats the current price of games over there.
The conversion is pretty good, since the current conversion rate is 1USD = 2.03 BRL
I can. And they're good, they're not even doing the conversion. For example, 1 dollar is roughly equivalent to 2.05 reais. There's a tax here called IOF that is applied on any financial operation (usually 6.38%), so you'd have to add that to the pile. I liked the prices and am really surprised with that.Can any brazilian say if this is any good? I don't know whats the current price of games over there.
Ok thanks for the replies.
Gaben, now do the same with the rest of South America. We seriously need it.
Yup, a Xbox 360 manufactured here costs about 800 dollars. And that's because it is manufactured here, it was much worse before that. A 3DS costs around 400 dollars and so on. It usually is 4 times the price in the US.I thought only Brazil had this problem with inflated prices. Consoles cost ridiculous amount of money there.
Only Brazil.How many countries use Reals as a currency? Edit: Never mind, Wiki says it's five.

I was asking about the name Real rather than the Brazillian Real in particular.Brazil only.

But it is a huge market for games. Yesterday I read on the newspaper that Brazil is now the 4th largest market for games worldwide. I can translate the main info of the article if you want.
Wow, for real? Is there some kind of list? I'm curious about the other countries.But it is a huge market for games. Yesterday I read on the newspaper that Brazil is now the 4th largest market for games worldwide. I can translate the main info of the article if you want.
A small correction, FIFA 13 is R$59 on PC. But yes, PC games are taxed differently.The absurd taxes only affect console games and hardware, PC games are taxed as regular software so they pay much lower taxes.
For example FIFA 13 is R$99 on PC, R$179 on Xbox 360/PS3. Same game, same publisher, different taxes.
I don´t know if this is good. For now is cheaper, but open the doors to be overtaxed in the future. And can be a lot of game release in the US store and not in the brazilian store.
we have two Brazilian DD stores (Nuuven and Xogo) which offer great deals and accept local credit cards and other payment methods.
Never heard of them and I REALLY would not trust my money on those two companies. What if they go down? You lose all games you bought?
What is average wage in Brazil? Something between 1800-2500 BRL ?

I read your post above, seems you're really out of the loop with the PC market in Brazil. Those two companies sell CD-keys bought from wholesale CD-key distributors, just like any DD store that isn't Steam or GoG. Back up your install and your keys and you're golden.
You can also pay using boleto, so you don't need to risk your credit card.
Can someone verify if this news is accurate?
