Just saw this New Pre-Orders: Buy Games Online at Best Prices in India in India: Flipkart.com

FIFA 14 - 2499
BF4 - 3499
NFS Rivals - 3499

Not only is it expensive, IMHO they are not even worth that much. I religiously buy games, check my signature if you have a doubt but this is just plain stupid.

Seconded. Even i don't think they're worth that much.:facepalm: EA :-x PC games usually aren't that expensive. Maybe it was a typo from flipkart's side and might change.

hmm, so BF3 will stay alive for a year & more in Asian market :p

the pricing, is it more than console games? If so I'd rather get a console. why spend any money on graphics card, CPU, RAM... ?

But i think this is EA playing safe, like our Govt :lol:
hike the price a lot & then when we protest, reduce it in such a way we still settle for a overpriced pos. :p
So my thinking is, EA will reduce the price by 500-1000, so 3500 game will be sold at 3k-2.5k. What we'd see is the massive difference of 1k in pricing & ...

The decline of the rupee (not the rise of the dollar) has nothing whatsoever to do with this price increase.

First they pushed up from 999 to 1499 and then they made a full push to 3499.

It was obvious this was going to happen.

They won't decrease these prices. I promise you. Not until the game becomes quite a bit older.

lol PC version same price as PS3.
Why would one build a gaming PC now. they can warez the crap sold by EA and buy good stuff by other publishers.

EA is trying to push people onto consoles or to piracy.. Whatever it is, its not good for pc gaming..

Now it makes more sense to buy a console rather than investing on a pc. I learnt this a month ago though :p

they are killing the gaming industry
If games were cheap, no one would pirate or piracy would be less
increasing the price only goes the wrong way

avg. middle class family income in India about 25K-30K. Now tell me if one game costs 16% of a months salary then who would buy a game ??

And this IP bullshit is completely wrong. Gone are those days when games used come in CD/DVD in retails stores. Now major distribution platform is online so those distribution and associated costs are mostly eliminated. Now one argument here is that new added costs of servers. Now cloud services are so cheap that even a middle class person can afford for few months investment. And setuping a private cloud is one time cost. So these arguments are basically vague.

if dollar reaches Rs.70. then it's game over for Indian PC gamers, though those 0.001% of enthusiasts will survive.

Cause building a midrange PC which costs 50K now similar configuration in that price range will be over 1LAKH
