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.
Dell's strategy with it's new smartphone, the Android-powered Mini3, is somewhat of a leapfrogging of usual US handset manufacturer procedure. The company announced this week it's first two major rollouts for the phone, also a first for Dell in this category, are in China, through China Mobile and Brazil, with Claro.

"What family members didn't know was that Goncalves had spent the night at a truck stop talking with friends over drinks of a sugarcane liquor known as cachaca, his niece Rosa Sampaio told the O Globo newspaper. He did not get word about his own funeral until it was already happening Monday morning."
Cachaça is the principal ingredient in a caipirinha. From my 50+ trips to Brazil, three things stand out in my mind: sultry women, grilled hearts of palm, and caipirinhas, the potently sexy national cocktail. Made of only lime, sugar and cachaça, “capirinha” literally translates into little “hillbilly”. But I like to think of it as liquid love.
Serves 2
1 juicy lime, cut into into 16 pieces, white core removed
2-3 tablespoons granulated sugar
4-6 ounces cachaça (You can substitute vodka for cachaça; just change the name, as do the Brazilians, to “caipiroska”.)
Ice cubes
In a rocks glass, use a “muddler”* or wooden spoon to mash together ½ the lime pieces with half the sugar, extracting as much juice as possible to produce a “syrup”. Add 2-3 ounces of cachaça and stir well to incorporate all of the ingredients together. Fill with ice and enjoy.
*Note: “muddling” is the official name of the process for mashing cocktail ingredients. If you don’t have a “muddler”, akin to a pestle, you can use a wooden spoon instead.
