Newegg to launch in India
Re: Newegg Coming to India!!
LOL, at people putting up memes like "Shut up and take my money." Lets see a case study:
Item: R9 280x
Price on Flipkart: Rs 23100
Price on Newegg: $259
But, wait for it.... Lets add to it ...
Estimated Tax & Duty: $89.02
Shipping: $50.18
And the total comes to: $ 398.2 = Rs. 24430 , more than FK price. xD
Much Wow.
Right now Newgegg have just provided an option to deliver to India. So, I guess as krishnandu.sarkar said, we will have to wait for warehouses to open in India. Which is not likely to happen overnight. Also, prices won't be that cheaper then. So NewEgg could just be another player in the market. Unless the same deals holds true for Indian customers as overseas.

Congrats. You summed up the "only" advantage as of now.
Hoping Newegg improves though. People already going gaga over it falsely, comparing it with Flipkart and Amazon.in, which they shouldn't.

Back to school!!
If new-egg sets up a a direct supply chain then it will be the first so ever in India. At this moment if you buy something from ebay or amazon usa you have to handle all the hassles of customs, tracking etc. If new-egg offers one click delivery to India for stuff like Thermal compounds that would be great, right now amazon, ebay etc are dependent on Indian sellers.

All these components(graphic card) cost very little to create. Big part of cost goes salaries to maths+algorithm+circuit design teams. Real prices will come down when govt. brings Semiconductor Fab to India or funds one. And we start making one R9

I think I might become a grandpa by then
I don't think that is the scene now...
So many listed items are still shown as "Not Available for India". I don't know whats the use of listing them for India site then....

Will there be any COD option ?

GAMING IS NOT A CRIME
Don't think so
Keep on dreaming and if this happens somehow after ages by then R9 series gpus would be history.
BTW, @OP - thanks for the news and this a long awaited initiative by newegg. Fk is not a small time player now so the competition is going to be really more interesting now.

Why so much frustration??? yaar, chillax. India won't be making anything original till it has uneducated prime ministers.
Anyways, the brain-wise & algorithm-wise, hindus are still ahead of West. Thanks to her 5k year old bhaskarian seeds.

Bud, I wont disagree with your optimism but India has to solve & invest in hundreds of other problems before manufacturing Graphics card even comes into the picture
