Sony finally launches PS2 in Brazil for $461

Reader Renato wrote in to us saying the PS2 has finally officially released in Brazil and that consumers can get it from the Sony Style store now ... for the low, low price of 799 BRL (about 461 USD). That's right, Brazilians no longer need secure safe passage for emigrating consoles or pay ridiculous sums of money to third-party distributors and can instead pay ridiculous sums of money directly to Sony for a locally-supported PS2! Isn't that awesome?

I find it hilarious how my case fan zip tied onto my GPU heatsync cools it more effectively than the fan that was specifically designed to cool that card.

That's because the original fan was just specifically designed to be cheap.

Also, heatsync, lol.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

So, a fan that was designed for the graphics card, or at least that heatsink, advertised as the best cooling for that card, versus a £2.50 case fan that came with a £20 case... You would expect the original fan to be better, right.

The £2.50 fan is simply capable of moving more air than the original.

The N64 is newer and more powerful than the PS1.

Doesn't mean that he doesn't have it there. Nintendo may have been more adventuring with their marketing and such than Sony.

This.

In total I have 2x80GB, 1x200GB and 1x250GB. I have about 200GB free. And I consider myself a heavy downloader/frapser... What have you filled yours with? 1080p porn?

protip: you're not a heavy downloader

5gb/day is a pretty easy average for a 'heavy' downloader
