Aggie Holy crap, I would just buy it in the US and then ship it home.


Smart idea, unless they make you pay a ton of money for shipping in Argentina. It'd still probably cost less even if shipping was outrageous.


I can't see the shipping prices being higher than 360 odd even from the US. it is stupid people will do this as all the consoles are region free which is what I think is right.
