ZENU96 I find this extremely expensive and now for the people in argentina well sony isn't gonna make much money if they sell the ps4 for that price in argentina.


I too feel sorry for people in Argentina their best bet would be to buy it abroad and get it shipped like for example if you buy it from the UK there is no way in hell that you will be 350+ for shipping even if you do get caught for tax absolutley stupid. And you can do that as all the consoles are not region locked.

I thought it was expensive initially and then i saw that the average Argentinian only makes $10,000 USD per year. That's a ridiculous price if you ask me

Gossip Dont think there will be many people from Argentina buying this.


They might, it's not like Argentina is a third world country, they will sell some consoles, not as much as other countries I think.

Carlooch Just makes you realize how lucky we are to be sitting here arguing about which console people should get, when people are starving and poor throughout the world.


I feel you man, we blow our problems way out of proportion. There are people starving in the world, people who can't afford their next meal, people without electricity, the list goes on. While we lucky people get to sit here and argue over a console :L

I hope Argentina's economy gets better, for the sake of the people.


I get what you mean but Argentina isn't exactly a third world country
