It's a sad life when economic failure means no new consoles. What I really wanna know is how much a decent PC will run down there.

Wow that is expensive to pay for a console, they must of been taxed a hell of a lot. I feel sorry for people in Argentina, but they can always get it shipped via another country for cheaper even after the International shipping charge.
