Woww Sony doen't give a .... about Mexico

They just announced the new price "cut" to $6,500 pesos, in dollars that is $500 dollars. I think prices in country's with less resources must be lower than the "rich" country's, jeez $500 dollars for a country that just have a 10.5% losses of their GDP :?

In south america it costs $800.

Don't take this wrong bro(because I feel ya) but Sony can't be held accountable for the politics of your country.They don't care about us either, it's not like they are giving them away...most of us have to put in longer hours at work to afford these things also. I'm what most economist would call the working poor, so I say again my friend I feel ya.:)

Yes i know, and its incredible how Mexicans have to work to get technology, its just ridiculous, they have to pay more than $1,000 USD for an Iphone, in taxes they have to pay approx 33% of their incoming, they have to pay a tax call tenensia (it's a tax that you have to pay every year for having a car and you have to pay the 5% of you car value every freaking year).

Right now Mexico its having a really bad crisis, and they are supposed to have a Agreement of free trade right?? so why they have to pay that much money for stuff like this?

Well there are things that i never going to understand.

Almost hale the economist have the sources to back up this crisis in a way, the 53% of the incoming of this country are from oil, and guess what's happening with oil??

Mexico by now has no sources to back up the banks or anything because they don't have money to help the economy.

Don't worry for me dude thanks, im acctually being really good, i just bought the A4 2.0T, so i'm speaking in general.

But thanks man your cool

You can't compare just exchange rates there are a lot of other factors that go into the price as well. For Mexico it could be taxes, tariffs, and extra fees like who Sony had to pay off to even be able to sell the PS3 there.EmperorSupreme

Make the maths, its 299 for the stores in the US, so the Sony must be seling the PS3 to them at 259?? send that price with a $30 bucks more for shippment, and 15% plus taxes to cross the border, and then add 15% plus taxes to the consumer, and a margin of 18% represent the earnig of the stores, that makes it a 410 dollars PS3, and im exagerating the numbers here.

Well I suppose thats what they get for giving us pig flu :) :o

metalicelvis

I'm wondering if it costs more to ship it to a country where the product doesn't sell as well? Last time I checked, it wasn't too hard to buy things over the boarder. Maybe you could buy the new ps3 off a website and just have it shipped to Mexico? I also doubt the world is in an economic crisis because of people's feelings. Ninja_Zombie83

Peoples feelings can affect the currency, but not a crisis, this crisis was a bout the housing and the banks greed

Mexico has 11 Agreements of free trade, not just one.

Your country has different propects of trade. SONY has to abide which usually costs you more.

too much wrong here to list

maybe the worlds riches man can help his own people, isn the mexican

You are talking about Carlos Slim right??

Believe me you can't take a Penny away from him, what he charge to the users of Telmex and Telcel its ridiculous

Why would they worry about a country where they probably won't sell very many units? It's a buisness not a chairity.

STurn21

What does low price has to do with charity?? Im not asking to give the PS3 for free.

And having that price tag its not going to make a big sales for PS3 in Mexico

In south america it costs $800.

Hold on a sec. Forget trade agreements, currency exchange, taxes, global economic crisis, etc. You just bought a turbo luxury sports sedan which requires premium octane that you've already established is mucho expensivo down there and you're complaining about the price of a PS3? :| For real?!

You could always ask a friend or family member in the US, or someone you know who will be visiting the US to pick one up for you. Especially if you live near the border I'm sure you could find someone to get one for you for the 299 price tag.

Can't say I feel bad for you. I live in a cheap part of the US and I also pay about 30% of my income for income tax. I then have 7% sales tax on anything I buy. I also have to pay that on any car I buy, as well as tabs yearly (also rated on how much my car is worth). I also have property tax, tax on using a phone (for local, state, federal, and other taxes). THey are everywhere man...breaks the bank for everybody nomatter what country you live in.

Only way you get a free ride in the US is if you dont have a job, amibition,and knowledge or anything. Then our state and federal systems just give you free food, housing, medical, and money :) . So yea...why do I have a job again?!? *walks out*

its probably the store owners trying to scam you guys

Its not as much as they dont care as there is something clogging up the system. No company would sell stuff in some country for more cash then in another without a solid reason i think...

Anyways, prices aint the only problem. Half of the world doesent have acces to stuff like Xbox Live Market and PS Store, in europe probably a quarter of the PS3 users are using accounts registered to another country just so they can download the demos
