Consoles are very expensive here in Brazil. For example, the most popular one is still Playstation 2, because of the huge pirated game market.

This seems a breath of fresh air in a world where every major console manufacturer is constantly finding ways to squeeze more money out of little product.

Well done zeebo.

Now I see that it says free 3G connection in the text. How could I miss that. It’s a rather cool way of enabling DLC. I wonder how common that will be in the future.

I think it is, yes.

Brazil was notorious for reverse-engineering everything and producing their own versions of popular consoles, complete with huge pirate software libraries. Some of the stuff they made is very impressive!

Cool. I was surprised to hear how expensive conslols were in Brazil. Is that a dedicated 3G connection? Sort of free to use if you know what I mean.
