- xubz 16y agoMost new PC games are prices less than Rs.999 in India (not just in Flipkart). Pre-order price of "Duke Nukem Forever" for example is just Rs.444 ($10).. I suppose it's one solution to rampant piracy of PC titles. (XBOX 360 and PS3 titles are more or less priced the same as elsewhere)

- signa11 16y agothese are generally titles meant for countries in the indian sub-continent e.g. india, pakistan, bangladesh etc. usually, paper quality, printing quality etc. takes a nose-dive. for example, i have a sedgewick book with almost translucent pages, which makes it next to impossible to read anything...
