Mr. Chairman, I am a boy living in india & studying in 9th class. On my Birthday I have decidided to buy a PS3. It may shock you but each and every person says, the cost is tooo high to be released. I request you to please decrease the prise of PS3 otherwise it would not be sold in good quantity in India. And it may cause you a loss.

Its difficult to understand how PS3 is going to succeed in India especially since it is finding it hard to succeed in markets of Europe and US.Priced reasonably well as compared to Xbox 360 premium though.

why will people buy rs 40,000 ps3 when xbox 360 moded is available in grey market for rs 25,000.the games of ps3 cost rs 3000 but xbox 360 modded pirated games can be easily bought for 150 rupees yes 150 rupees.

40K????!!!! and which one is it? 20GB one or the 60GB one??? too expensive!!! boy i feel like all other complainers. will it cost less if i import it from singapore because they sell it cheaper there? and change the pic! sushant, i think the 'mod' thing might not work because you'll have to keep udating your system with firmware...

No worries dude. XBOX 360 now comes modded, without even changing the frimware. There can be similar things with PS3 as well, just a matter of time. If the mod thing will not work, PS3 will be a complete failure..indian players are not fool enough to pay 2800 fro max 20 hours of game play. 360 rocks, its cheaper and comes modded. Sony will have to wither strip of some of the funtionality so that it may sel the consoles cheaper or have to cut down the profits by loweringthe prices.....they cant go on with this kind of silly pricing.....

NO GOOD ! Even if it is launched. It will fail dramatically. 40000 for a console ? Agreed that its good, but not worth its asking for. Will wait till it gets modded. Cant pay 2800 for a single disc.
