1. Do understand that you won't get any warranty for this xbox360 from Microsoft here in India if you buy a USA model.
2. For using wireless conrtoller with windows, you need to buy a wireless receiver for your pc first.
3. Apart from shipping costs you'll end up paying for customs duty and octroi as well.
4. You will be able to play on your 21" TV but not in 720p resolution but in SD rsolutions.
5. Xbox360 sold in USA is NTSC one.. so you'll always need to buy NTSC games where as games generally sold in India are PAL. Games can be region locked as well sometimes.

Better buy here in India it costs only 14k for 4GB model. If you import it from your friend you'll end up paying nearly 10k and will loose on warranty and other things as I mentioned above.
