PS:Original game buyers were not given any respect or consideration by distributors here in India. My copy of Call Of Duty bought 2 years ago, had nothing but 2 CDs in the game box!!!:mad: when I am buying a game, i expect to see some exciting stuff along wit the game, but most of the games feature nothing, even my copy of Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare which costs a whopping 1299/- featured nothing but the game disc and a stupid game manual!!!!!!!:x


kool!!!

I think the only difference is the box size!!!. but recently i'm seeing only the 299/- version on the shelves @ odyssey here @ trichy

Congrats man, happy sneaking & double crossing in double agent :D

Sure, i'd give a max of 199/- for NFSUG2

i agree completely, even when buying a 999 bucks game we dont even get a printend manual all the time. Theres more, a 1299 buck collectors pack didnt even hav CD cases for all its CDs !!!! :x

its quite disappointing ...... look we do not wnt action figures or expensive fancy items with our game (i remember even Complan gave out action figures ith its 100 buck pack....), :confused: but atleast give us the much handy printed manual, proper cd cases and some enthusiastic items like posters, pads, pens etc.

abt the disc quality is, less said is better .:mad:..... 2 of my discs developed crack @ the centre just caz i left them in CD drive for 2 days and played the games all the time. so, i made a copy of them immediately. to think those INR 10 CD / DVDs are infinite times durable than the original game discs (none of them had never developed any scrtch or died caz of usage). and lastly the disc cases for 199 rupee games are simple craps.

i think the distributor thinking they r actually doing business in america.:x

Yes....the legally priced games should have more goodies...else what is the difference between Rs 100 (Nehru Place) and Rs 1100 (Planet M -- Saket).

I guess the second option also has ethics bundled with it..but who wants to pay RS 1000/--- just for ethics..??? More bang for buck is needed..!

Why r u saying lik tat?. Ask em everything :D we want everything, I'm spending 1000/- on one piece of entertainment s/w!!!! and wat i expect to come with it? a black and white xerox paper saying "If this game fails to work u will get ur money back" -> r they targeting entry-level meniacs???? WE R HARD CORE GAMERS.. :cool:. Behind the stupid game dvd, i find a list of other games available from tat stupid distributor . Instead, i want to see more art from the game i bought, In a nutshell:- Gaming in India is 100% Dry Business. I don like this sh** one bit *img124.echo.cx/img124/3829/sc1093ss.gif

+100. So true Man. Me bought Orange Box on 29 Dec 07 it had 2 Dual-layer DVDs, i tried it on my system, i heard a screeching noise, the stupid drive didn't recognize the stupid DVD!!!. However, i tried it on my friend's system it worked there, then i copied both the original DVDs on my friend's PC, bought 2 new DVDs, burned them with the copy, then used those burned discs to play on my PC. WTF is this?????????????? I pay 999/- for that Orange Box!!!!!!!!! And this is wat suppose to happen????????( My Drive is Sony DVD-Writer, My friend's Drive is Lite-ON DVD-writer -> Lite-On Owns Sony DVD drive's ass anyday from then on :D )

i think the distributor thinking they r actually doing business in america.:x

No man, they think they r gov employees :D and they can do whatver they like!!! *img124.echo.cx/img124/3829/sc1093ss.gif
