Madmage Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 /MT -- Showoff ..

Sackboy Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 This might be a stupid question, but please bear with me since I've only been in India for a couple of months. 1/2 the packages that I used to send from abroad to my dad here either never reached him or were broken into. How safe is shipping games here these days? I was just planning on buying them in Delhi itself, altho my choices greatly increase if I buy from all over. I have never had any problems , in country if packages are sent by reputed companies like BlueDart,DTDC,FirstFlight , they rarely get misplaced ... For breaking , fragile items can break but stuff like game with boxes rarely do if properly packed in at least 1 layer of bubble wrap ... Yeah , buying in Delhi would be good because of 1 day deliveries , though no problems with India wide shipping . Feel free to PM me and ask if a price is correct or you are being fleeced and beware of buying from members with less than 20 posts ( though we have next to none scams here , being precautious never hurts . ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luciffer Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Damn it Patrick we need some clarification here Actually.. I don't have the Wii (currently) .. Don't like the Wii.. Don't Want the Wii. Altho I am waiting for the new system that they just showed off at E3.. Believe it's called the Wii U .. provided it's got 1080p (or atleast 1080i) resolution It finally does have HD graphics.. but they never really mentioned the resolution.. so could be 720p .. in which case I'm not interested. Besides.. dudes.. I'm nearly 40.. Watching Mario and his gay friend (Luigi?) prancing across the screen hardly makes a case for a Must Have game for me. LOL So.. No.. I don't have all the systems... you're safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really might take you up on it. Being new here (to India) it's sometimes hard for me to determine wherether I'm being ripped off. Prices of games/consoles are generally higher here.. But worse still.. I can't find a lot of the games I want in the stores. Example: Haven't been able to locate Test Drive Unlimited 2 (for either xBox or PS3) in any store. ;( Since I have friends/family in both the US and EU (my own wife is European) .. I can have them ship to me.. but like I said.. 1/2 my shipments to my dad never arrived here. Again.. Thanks a lot for the offer, my "Little Big Planet" bud. -- Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarketTantrik Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Prices of games/consoles are generally higher here.. While consoles are more expensive in India, games have usually tended to be well priced although a few publishers like EA and Activision are changing that.

Luciffer Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Patrick... u said u r a desi right?? patrick doesnt sound desi to me Actually it isn't. Patrick is an Irish name. I was born and lived most of my life abroad.. thus got an international name. Try getting the Americans to pronounce "Venkataratnam Narasimha Rattaiah" Lekin.. haa bhai.. mein desi hun.
