Wii U Costs $1000US In Brazil

Earlier i made a post, talking about how the US gets stuff much cheaper than UK/EU territories, but i really should countÂ*myselfÂ*lucky as gamers in Brazil have to pay $1000US for the basic 8GB model, now what is not clear, is if this price is the official price or import price, but it is Brazil and electronics are known to be notoriously highly priced, here is a quote and images from the source:
If you think you’re paying too much, try buying it here.
Basic Set = R$ 2.199,00 or 10 monthly payments of R$ 219,90. That’s about US$ 1.048,00 or 10x US$ 104,80.

Which would you rather play with though? (I don't mean PS3 vs Wii-U)

If you got your own shipped to Brazil, would tax be a nightmare?

Man, I don't have words to say how much I hate here (Brazil).
When my father going to Italy, he bought my PS3 there, if I'm not wrong, he paid arround 300USD... when the same PS3 here was at 1200R$ ://
