Price hike was bound to happened but never expecte it to go that far . Bf 3 was the first ea game debuted at rs 1499 and bf4 wil be debuted with 3.5k . Dont expect the price to go down . The best option for us will be to wait and buy during christmas sale @ 30$-35$ . Though i never buy ea game , but i have all battlefield collection and fifa game .

Indian PC gamer base is very low compared to other SA counttries. So I don't think they give a damn about pricing.

I have played very few EA titles,so ....

I think they got to this pricing from thier past experience. They tried a .5K increase with their earlier full release, then they tried ~3.5K premium release and succeeded to find buyers both the time (ofcourse i bought the base game-preorder but not premium version). So now that they have buyers, they thought they can cash in with a base game itself :p

Grrr.. DICE is the developer, why should the game flop if their parent company (EA $$$) decides to up their price??? DICE have been listening the the community and making changes appropriately. its EA who is the culprit and not DICE

MP on BF4 certainly has some boost, the biggest being distructible under passages. Its still early to comment on the sales as premium on BF3 sold even in India and people never complained

The best thing to do would be a total boycott of the three mentioned games, the prices were ridiculous to begin with but this is pushing it over the limit.

only fanboys will by them, wealthy ones.
The ones on a budget will use their brain and go the other way to get it. Unless EA puts the always online DRM on the game/s

And play the SP which is nothing but a crap on BF series..

To enjoy this game, MP is a must and they need not put any DRM's to pull sales or stop piracy.

^^ and EA knows it too :p

They might laugh at people who pirate BF series games thinking why on EArth will someone do that when we ourselves know that our SP is close to #$%@

^ True that, but my point was more along the lines of the oppressive DRM which EA employs. They usually justify it by citing losses due to piracy, so if we pirate a game they will use it as an excuse to pile on even more DRM. IMO if one does not agree with the DRM and pricing policies, it's better to avoid playing the game altogether, rather than pirating it. Easier said than done, I know.
