Not a purchase but a gift from my uncle. Couple of years back, my uncle gifted me a Made in Japan PlayStation 1 + The orignal black colour CD of Formula 1 97 When I was a kid, he had purchased it for me but my parents did not allow him to gift me (coz usual indian parents ). He finally gifted me after my marriage and having a child Really loved it and he was so thoughtful of keeping it safe all these years for me. Powered up console and everything working fine, except the game doesn't goes past the title screen (Looks like the CD is busted, too many scratches)

Sony Fans just went from "xbox has no games" to "please keep these games on PlayStation"

Lol best experience ever. Some early twenty something dude walks into the grocery store. No mask and breathing heavily. There's me and one other customer, this moron and the shopkeeper. The other customer is an old guy about 60+. Everyone is in a mask except the young dude. I say where's your mask (me and the old dude have already moved a distance away unconsciously) Young dude say all this is propaganda. Mask does nothing and some other blah blah blah freedom freedom bullshit. I say dude whatever you want to believe is fine but then why you risking your and others life man. By this time the shopkeeper is pissed. He suddenly came round the counter and told the guy to either wear a mask or get lost. Young dude starts yelling about rights and other unrelated crap. Shopkeeper took a stick and gave him 3 -4 solid hits and that guy ran away. Bc I was laughing so hard lol.

what about those who want to get off at such stations.

Confused? Here's a simpler explanation.

Life is unfair, chaps. It was unfair before COVID, it will be unfair after COVID. Degree of unfairness depends on how wealthy you are, but it is still unfair for everyone. Help those you can. No point blaming the lockdown. There was no precedence, nobody knew what would happen, nobody was in a position to predict, and nobody knew how things would have gone if the lockdown was not in place. The least it did was spread awareness, and somewhat improved the healthcare system for marginally better load. Stay safe, be careful, don't be an a*s, and we will tide it over...possibly.

@WhiteWolf utho utho, you are back in game.

The physical disc isn’t the only cost that goes into it. Sony first party games cost $100+ million to develop and on top of that there’s the marketing and other expenses that go into it. For third party games like FIFA the development cost is on top of the licensing cost that goes into millions. All of that is factored into the cost of the game. If a game costs $100 million to develop and the game is priced at $60. After all margins, let’s assume Sony makes $30. To recover just the development cost (not counting the marketint, manufacturing, shipping etc), they would need to sell 3.3 million units. Now if you were to lower the price for a country like India, where Sony already only makes about $10 per game, you can imagine how difficult it becomes. So sure, they make $10 revenue from India per game, but that isn’t a profit for them, especially if the game doesn’t sell 5-7 million. But here’s the other side to it. The argument in favour of lower game prices is that to grow a market like India, you need to support it with lower prices. Every publisher bought that argument until they realised that in India, dropping the price doesn’t lead to a proportionate increase in sales. Same goes for the console. If Sony was to launch PS4 at 20k rather than 40k, the install base would have been maybe 1-1.5 million by now rather than the current 500k. Thats a measly 500k units (which they can sell in the US in 1-2 months) sold at a huge loss. That’s also being optimistic because the only console that has crossed 1 million in India was PS2, and only after the price dropped under 10k and only because you could pirate games easily. The biggest hindrance to console sales in India is the sustained cost of games. Doesn’t matter what the price is, simply having to pay for games prevents the console from selling. Economies of scale comes only when there is scale. 500k install base with an attach rate of 3-5 games (optimistic) per console isn’t big enough to make pricing games lower profitable or even sustainable, because there’s an entire supply chain to feed in addition to the actual development cost. If you lower the cost of a PS4 game to 1000 bucks, distributors and retailers will stop selling it because the margins they make will be peanuts and they rather use their warehouse and store shelves on something that will give them higher margins, like Chinese toys.

I used to but ever since MT started making fun of them on FB, I blocked him and stopped drawing itself. Anyways below are my old drawings. (First two I drew them digitally using Wacom Intuos Pro Tablet and Clip Studio Paint).

Suddenly Zodak wants people to upgrade PCs

Have to hand it to @santanu18 man. He really takes pains to post deals here. If there was ever an award deserved he should get one. Thanks bro for the years of deals you've updated us on.

Were you expecting to put PS3 disc in PS5 and then buy digital version of remaster at a discount?

My new PS5

Made the samurai one during quarantine, rest all are from 10 yrs back

Lets just live it to people to decide what links to use, Its as simple as seeing the deals that are posted clicking the IVG link above and searching for same product and buying it. If you think you got the sweetest deal ever just because @santanu18 took the effort and posted, then support him. He may be doing it for his own good, everyone does that but lets admit he is saving time for many of us to go in and search for things especially during those Big Billion type of sales. No more OT on this thread as well please, please keep this thread to posting the deals and related only discussions which it is known for.

like clockwork

This months haul.

oh bc

The comments-:

Thanks a lot @HundredProofSam The contents are so damn good! Especially that steelbook! Sorry for all the hungama in this thread.

Bose TV speakers Decent speakers for gaming and entertainment! It has speech mode which makes the vocals crisp and clear while watching movies. Not much of bass which is fine with me considering the size of the room.

Really happy with today's arrival. Got it from a friend from the UK. This would be my 5th press kit. Sent from my SM-A920F using Tapatalk

Backing myself out of this competition. Used another account to vote for myself and also told friends to vote. It wasn't against rules but I realise it was unethical. Will win next month for sure.

Why not support IVG? And regarding effort, let's take the discussion offline. Meanwhile people are supporting him as if he's doing God's great work. He's just running a business. The best part is that he's helped a lot of us and we're thankful to him. But for god's sake just stop with all this "He's a saviour and all other bullshit". He's posting links out of purely his own self interest. I was merely asking him the same, if he clarifies the same it's cool.

I gave him this title. 😎 santanu18 can @ me (or another staff) if he wants to change it to something else.

That was fast

Purchases from the last couple of weeks,

Yes you can legally fly drones it needs to be registered. The ruling for less then 250 gm is also not clear, as now all drones need to be registered. It clearly states on the site, that if you own a drone, register it. https://digitalsky.dgca.gov.in/ I registered my mavic mini for the very same reason, and now i fly it without any headaches. One from this weekend...
