Retailers have been taking preorders for almost a week now, but Microsoft today officially announced the arrival of the newer, slimmer Xbox 360 console, which is making its way to stores across India now. This console will come with a 250 GB hard drive, in-built Wi-Fi, and a new all-black design, and will carry an MRP of Rs 21,990. We also expect the cheaper variant with 4 GB of storage to make its way to India soon, but we don’t yet have a concrete date or price on that from Microsoft.
A while back, we sent EA a few questions we’d been wanting to ask the Danger Close team at EA Los Angeles about their upcoming franchise reboot of Medal of Honor. The game’s executive producer Greg Goodrich was nice enough to answer the questions for us, shedding some light on various topics, ranging from multiplayer beta feedback and single-player campaign details to the differences between the console and PC versions and whether or not the game will ship with a co-op mode.
We’ve just received confirmation that Mafia II, one of the most anticipated games of the year, will retail in India for just Rs 499 on PC. We’ve also been informed by E-Xpress Interactive, the game’s official distributor in India, that the Xbox 360 and PS3 Collector’s Editions will also be available for Rs 3,499. The PC Collector’s Edition, however, will not be available here. For those who’d rather get just the game, the Xbox 360 and PS3 standard edition will also be available for Rs 2,499.
Less than a month after announcing a price drop for the Xbox 360 Arcade console to Rs 14,676, we’ve got word from retailers and distributors that Microsoft has once again slashed the price of the console in India. The Arcade console will now be available for Rs 12,990. However, this price drop applies to the old Xbox 360 Arcade console, so this new price may not necessarily apply to the new 4 GB Arcade console that was recently announced internationally.
Earlier this month, we brought you an interview with PlayStation India boss Atindriya Bose. Today, IVG caught up with Jaspreet Bindra, Country Manager of Microsoft’s Entertainment and Devices division, which also includes the Xbox 360 business, to tell us about Microsoft’s plans for the rest of 2010. Read on to find out about the new Xbox 360 “shorty”, Kinect, Xbox LIVE, Xbox 360 Classics, post-warranty support, and why he thinks 2010 is the biggest year for Xbox.
The PSP Essentials are coming thick and fast. First EA and Capcom announced their titles, and then Ubisoft, Sega, THQ and Square Enix announced theirs. Now Sony has just revealed its catalogue of six budget PSP titles as part of their PSP Essentials range, and each of them is available now at a price of Rs 699.

After disappointing PC gamers for years and ignoring scores of fervent online petitions, EA Sports will finally release a FIFA game on PC that will use the same engine as its PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 counterparts. The engine has been optimised to bring “next generation console-quality gameplay, game modes and visuals” to FIFA 11 on the PC, which is scheduled for release in India on October 1.

The list includes Sonic, Sega Rally, and Tomb Raider, amongst others. All these titles will be available at retail outlets in India starting this month. Hit the jump for the full list.
In our recent interview with Atindriya Bose, the Sony Computer Entertainment India boss had told us about the release of several PSP Essential titles – PSP games priced between Rs 599 and Rs 699 – in the near future. The first to announce their Essentials titles are EA and Capcom. Titles for both publishers will be available through Milestone Interactive for just Rs 599. Hit the jump for the list of PSP Essentials.
