Bought Far Cry 3 + 4 + Season's Pass for approx Rs 500, and ME2 DLC Pack for Rs 1000, inclusive of taxes. Thanks. Adding to Uplay went smoothly, just click on the game, select download, and it asks you to log into Uplay, after which the game shows up in your Uplay library. No need to actually...

Older Ubisoft games are really cheap on Origin Far Cry 4+ Season pass for Rs 250 Assassin's Creed 2 for Rs 100 Really tempted by it, but not sure how this works. Anyone bought any UPlay games on Origin? Do I need both Origin and UPlay to play the game? Or I need to just add it to Uplay once?

Any idea where I can buy Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000? The ones listed on Amazon are all imported and cost 6k. It should cost about 3k - 4k max (40 USD ish) My current one has started to fail after 10 years I had bought it from Lamington road, but this time it seems to be...

Destiny 2 is free till Nov 18. I downloaded and played a bit. Its a 80 GB download. Not sure where the servers are, but didn't feel any lag. I didn't find a way to check ping.

The tax rule is there for over 1 year I think. I bought Battlefront 2 and Titanfall 2 in the Summer sale, they didn't charge me anything extra then. Also, they give you no notice that taxes will be extra. You go to the payments page, put in your credit card details, and just before confirming...

Battlefield 1 is on sale on Origin for Rs 312 + 18% tax. Season Pass is free. Origin is now charging 18% tax extra over the price shown :( On the plus side though, they haven't adjusted their prices for fall in INR.

Extremely underwhelming sale :(

Origin is giving a sale: https://www.origin.com/ind/en-us/store/deals/sale Titanfall 2 for Rs 500, Battlefront 2 for Rs 1,166. Also 7 days Origin Access trial.

Any of you guys play Battlefront 2? Was thinking of picking up the game on current sale. Any idea on server location, ping, queue time, matchmaking, etc? I am located in Mumbai.

In my experience, motherboards fail much earlier than processors (I don't overclock). Motherboards are good for 4-5 years, processors longer. In fact, my current computer motherboard has been giving me problems for last 6 months, and now seem to be completely dead (4.5 yr old). So if you are...

Its not just giving data to Google or Microsoft. Almost any app I install requires unnecessary permissions. Ola and Uber want access to your contacts for example. I usually block those attempts. There was a very recent controversy about Uber using your location data even when you are not using...

Nope :( Budget is not a problem, but I am very careless and drop phones quite often. That is the reason I don't want to buy expensive phones. Well, Apple has all the anti-tracking stuff in their new OS, and Google's entire business model is to sell your data for ads.

I had a 2 year old Lumia 650, which I sadly dropped and shattered the screen. Apparently a new screen will cost me 5k, so I would rather buy a new phone than spend so much on an old phone. 1. Budget? A: INR 15k ish 2. Preferred display size, type and resolution? A: Not bothered too much. 4- 5...

How is this one: Alcatel 10 inch ? 9.8k on flipkart. Chinese company, markets under Alcatel brand.

I mean, if I want a tablet under 20k, my choices are basically Lenovo or 2 year old Samsung models. No Kindle Fire or Asus Zenpad. Any advice on a tablet under 20k, preferable around 15k? Right now my best bet seems to Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 for 12k, or an Ipad for 25k (overbudget :( )
