It's now official: 13 countries in Latin America will see the rollout of the PS3, PSP, and PS2 systems now as SCEA expands. This is a partnership with Sony Latin America, and will bring "select countries" the PlayStation goods, including the PlayStation Network and a new Latin PlayStation Web site lineup.
“Our commitment to expand PlayStation business into Latin America supports our vision to provide access to social entertainment experiences that can be shared among friends and family from around the world,” said Mark Stanley, director and general manager, Latin America, SCEA.
“This expansion is the direct result of us listening closely to our community, and we’re proud to deliver premium hardware and software services that will allow them to easily connect, play and communicate with one another.”
I'm sure hardcore Latin American gamers already have some of the PlayStation line, but now they can formally take part in the PlayStation world. I wonder which countries got the shaft.

Wait... T Hawk confuses me. He looks Native American, but his level looks like a Mexican village. So confused.
However even though we have Nintendo down here, the Wii still sells for over $400
O wait, I also wish they tould give us some sort of movie store functionality with this, since as it stands we can't access anything movie related.
KEWL!
Oh and Mexico's fans do have to start every morning with a sombrero dance followed with tequila and various shots in the air with our colts and uzis...good times
ahahahahahahha so true, somehow, reading that comment and watching the picture of the article made me remember of this:

xD xD xD
oh, and btw, here is the list of the countries:
Liz Archibald from Sony America updated us on the specific regions, saying, "These countries include Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru and Venezuela. Additional services such as PlayStation Network, will be introduced in a phased roll-out to select countries."
And it's weird because the psp, the ps2 and the ps3 were officially released, at least in Chile, last year.
mexico has native americans too, y'know.
And you cant really blame brazilian gamers, once here the minimum wage is like less than 250 dollars a month, most of the population is poor and a brazilian xbox 360 (the only next gen console officialy marketed here I guess) cost something around 1100 dollars. (around 700 dollars in taxes)
Even if you want to buy it legal, you can just import by yourself and pay 60% of the price asked here
Also I read shaoran comment. Brazil is probably out because we don't speak spanish. good.
