I say, just look at what you have in your surroundings..?
Do you have a Car of pure indian origin which is acceptable? NO
Do you have a mobile phone of pure indian origin (Design not manufactured)? NO
Heck do you even name a car engine which is of pure indian design...? NO

Err what kind of curveball is this :p. What has any of these things got to do with gaming? Anyways you are wrong on all counts

Do you have a Car of pure indian origin which is acceptable? - Depends on the definition of acceptable to some a BMW M3 is unacceptable :p. Anyways coming to the point XUV 500 is home grown and is acceptable to the market it appears looking at the sales numbers

Do you have a mobile phone of pure indian origin (Design not manufactured)? There are two - Samsung Z1/Z3. Both are designed (physical and software), built and sold in India. I can personally confirm this since I know the design teams.

Heck do you even name a car engine which is of pure indian design...? The recent Tata turbo petrol 1.2 in the bolt is completely designed/built in India AFAIK.
 
I am on the rverse effect.

I am 32 , married and I have a full time job.

Been in Pune since 2011, previously was at home town, quite away from technology and stuff.Gaming during graduation was limited to PC and one which would run on 512 MB namely Project IGI, Road Rash, Need for Speed, EA cricket 2007 etc. It was fun that time.

It was after 6-7 years graduation that I joined TE. Read a lot about new phones, laptops and off course gaming. It started with asking buying advice or so but soon liked to interact and "try" the techno stuff. Last year thought of buying PS3 for nephews who were at my place for summer vacations (2 months). Along with them don`t know from where but liked the console experience very much and quite glued to gaming since then.

Just like others, job and marriage etc keeps me busy most of the week but on weekends grab the remote whenever possible. Seems I am more into shooting games and COD Ghosts was first game that I completed first time even !

Soon I jailbroke my ps3 and collected games downloads as much as I can. Recently finished Army of two : Devils cartel. It took me one and half months to finish !

I don`t think age matters in gaming but the apetite. Just like people find time for exercise out of their busy schedule, I find some for gaming. And yes, me being overweight is different story..!

Well deviating from trend, I am unmarried but engaged and well below 30 years mark. I used to play games on PC since 2005. As knowledge increased, got better and powerful hardware. During graduation days, had ample time to finish games. Some of COD titles are my favorite ones but all with short campaigns. Time passed and started working. Now time became a luxury to have to tinker around with things; e.g. flashing ROMs on Android phones, downloading games/finding working cracks, etc. This turned me to things which work out of box. I bought PS3 last March and bought close to 20 titles in last 8 months; yet to finish first game on PS3. Work and social life is making quite a heavy impact on gaming hours.

However I have not yet gave up on gaming nor I have lost interest. Hoping to attain a better balance between things; which I might not be able to before February :P

One of my friend from Andheri helps me a lot in this regard. I have bought used ones.

You don't get legit PS3 games for <$5.

Plenty of sources available to buy them cheap. Not all games would be less than $5 but there are many for dirt cheap prices available here. In-fact me and my friend were discussing about absurd pricing of used PS3 title in India and west.
 
Before JB, I collected 15-20 games from Olx, quikr and we buy site.... Even flipkart used to have some crazy deals, max payne 3, Xcom were brought at Rs 200.

Forums, eBay, GameStop (if someone can bring them here)[DOUBLEPOST=1450261367][/DOUBLEPOST]

Yup, I remember getting Max Payne 3. I had got it for 241 but had missed Don Bradman's cricket for 199.
