Geez, what does Nintendo think, that the people of India are clueless about the rest of the world? You can get a friggin' PS2 here for about Rs. 8,000 now. This is just plain unfair, much like Apple with their iPhone priced at Rs. 32,000.

You know, I gave a friend an NDS when I went to India. You know how much it costs at the current exchange rate? Rs. 5250-odd. And if Nintendo is doing it, it definitely should be lower than that. Like maybe Rs. 3000-4000. It's still pretty expensive for a game console though.

well if indians can't afford it, they can just keep cutting grass and breaking stones to find enough rupees.

There's a joke in here somewhere about the outsourcing of casual games, but I'll be damned if I can find it.
