@Blade_Runner : Iam not trying to force anything to anybody blade , I am just Giving my opinion and in my opinion Consoles Rule !!
Exactly ! Thats wat iam saying , but i guess mr. chaos is too Rich to know that !params7 said:sorry for going a little off-topic here but in U.S, or at least in SJ, Cali, a kid could earn $50 in a day or two. In 9th grade, its in your curriculum to find a job or else you won't pass. And that job as a waiter in juice bar or mcdonalds would earn you at least 5$/h.
That's what an average middle class indians earn here.
console games generally sell for a lot more than PC games in India. Many ps2 games have hit 20-30$ but they still sell for over Rs.2500 on ebay and those malls.
You also have to remember that the Bay Area is incredibly expensive to stay in. A single room dorm accomodation costs like 600-800$ a month. So 5$ an hour is quite justified. Compare that to India and its lot less expensive to stay here. About PS2 games, I won't comment. Well thats another reason not to game on consolesparams7 said:sorry for going a little off-topic here but in U.S, or at least in SJ, Cali, a kid could earn $50 in a day or two.

I feel the adoption rate of consoles and console gaming in general is responsible for that.params7 said:console games generally sell for a lot more than PC games in India. Many ps2 games have hit 20-30$ but they still sell for over Rs.2500 on ebay and those malls.

Pffft.Yeah,like thats gonna happen.Anyway,we cant take the price factor into consideration until the 360 releases here officially,since it will be the first official release aside from the Dreamcast,which is dead now.We can only find out who has the upper hand in terms of official pricing once games for the 360 release here,seeing as its gonna be the first officially released console here for a while.well according to few Indian and Foreign game developers if the price would be cut down to 1/6th the price which is 250-300 rupees it would increase the profit three folds atleast (console or pc)........
umm params even Sony world sells the ps2 with full warranty so i guess its a official launch ?params7 said:Ps2 hasn't officialy been launched in India and it is confirmed. Some company (Milestone perhaps?) only Officialy ship it, that doesn't mean a release.
If X360 is officialy being launched in the country, then it should come with indian version documents including official helpline and support office inclduding advertisements on TV.
Dreamcast for example, shipped with a special indian version of its internet surfing and had its own special support centre from SEGA in New Delhi, it even had ads on TV.
