yeah argentina is/was bad on prices of just about anything. ok case in point. the last time they were here the ps2 just came down to 199 or so. it was 600 there. thats a big ouch. so she throws me 500 bucks for one an games and i only needed 1/2 cause i bought used games and a used system. she wanted to spend as little as possible anyways. not bad. oh and a dvd player..back when a good one was around 2-250. down there. 700.
