One of the comments says:
To consider ....
1- There are brazillians who buy by installment, even when do not have enough money to live, it is called "rampant consumerism".
2- Brazil have heavy taxes, too much corruption.
3- There are a few brazillians ( around 1% or less) who can pay by cash these 1.850 $.
Now a question:
Is sony getting extra profits from Brazil, or that expensive cost is just the brazillian taxes ?
