A study conducted by Linio has revealed where in the world you’ll be able to find the cheapest (and most expensive!) video game hardware relative to North America.

Sampling data from “at least the ten largest retailers in the country’s five largest cities,” Linio’s findings reveal that Western Europe is the cheapest place to buy PS4, while Venezuela – a country currently fraught with skyrocketing inflation – ranks as the most expensive.
