MS has the Xbox360 priced pretty close to International prices whereas the PS3 is a LOT more expensive in India. Pls tell me you are jokin ! X360 premium costs almost twice the rate of whats available in the international market ! The only reason core is comparable is becoz nobody is buying it in India, and they want to clear off their existing stock ! If you see, even Sony's premium console is priced in the same ratio as that of X360 premium....and sony is stopping its 30GB model almost everywhere else even in international markets....so no surprise they dont have it in India...! And no non-gamer or even a casual gamer even can think of shelling out 40,000 bucks for a game console, no matter whatever ad Sony puts in....if u ask me, sony is being clever and knows what its doing...! Like Vee-en said, games, games and games and more games are the only thing that can make sony popular....not only in India, but everywhere else....take me for ex. Rite now, I'm missing my console, and if my stay extends here, I plan to buy one soon, so what do I choose - PS3 or X360 elite ? Rite now I can only think of X360 elite becoz it has the largest library of games currently available....period !

hmmm
Xbox 360
Core
US - $331.61(with tax) = INR 14922 India - 19000 ( I got mine for 15990 with the exchange offer)
Premium
US - $439(with tax) = INR 19755 (takign the exchange rate as 45 INR to a dollar)
India - INR 27000
Ps3
60gb
US - $661.07 = INR 29748 India = INR 40000
The price difference is a lot more with the ps3
PS- None of these prices include custom duty which you might have to pay at the airport.

Nice math my friend....but with tax X360 premium in India is 27,750 so the diff is around roughly 8000, for sony its roughly around 11,000....so whats the big deal ? Thats what i said - the ratio is almost the same ! How is that sony costs a lot more ? But I agree if u say, sony's games cost a lot more....2799 for all games compared to competitive prices like 999, 1850, 2510 etc for x360 games...!

^^ yea...what matters is the % of the price tht u're paying extra...not the absolute value....if u recalculate, then u would be surprised...!!
so, for ps3 - 11k extra for something thts 30k worth...tht means 36% extra u're paying....
but for 360 premium - 7k extra for somethign tht is 20k...tht means 35% extra.....
hence - both are relatively well priced...none of them is arbitrarily more expensive...!!
