This has been discussed to death before! Most of them do not intend to stock up on the titles so they sell the game after a playthrough or two. When they decide to put that title for sale, they sell it for some depreciated value; more like 1800 Rs. for a game that was initially purchased for let us say 2200 Rs. odd. The value reduces gradually later on as the copy passes from a person to the other. In the meantime say a year down the line, the publisher releases a lower priced Platinum version when the game sales have crossed a certain limit (the same title which had an MRP of Rs. 2200 before goes Platinum for Rs. 1400 - take the case of some exclusive title such as Uncharted here). That is an alternate workaround. You would however lay your hands on the title late.

Gannu said:Because they cannot afford the present pricing or pirate it! Was that hard?
You can blame the distris for the pricing. Pricing for PC titles OTOH are much better and competitive. Somehow console titles still retail for a premium in the country although it does retail for a price notch lesser than what it retails for in the US/EU.
Anyhow these are completely OT on this thread. I'd rather stop here.
