Had to travel around 300 kms from Kerala to Tamil Nadu though. I always buy hardware from olx. Provided it comes with bill, box and warranty. Keep an eye out and you will be surprised with the kind of deals you get. Damn dude, I was not willing to go 20 kms for a cheap copy of Persona 5R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only do you get the hardware at a cheaper price but also the games are much cheaper by then. Also what's the status for backward compatibility of PS4 games? Should I keep them so that I can pop my disc into PS5 and play or would that not work and I can safely sell it now.

PhantomShade Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 btw why is it that all these Americans want $400 and $500 as price for something that they will use for 5-6 years, meanwhile they are ok spending $1000 on iPhone that they will upgrade in 2 years anyway?

No American spends $1000 on a phone upfront. And most won't spend total of $60 on phone apps in their entire lives. The Switch doesn't really cost $300, it costs $500 with one Mario, one Zelda, one Pokemon and 1 year NSO sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling PS5 console + PS Plus + PS Now as a monthly plan. I recall that there is a smartphone style plan for the Xbox console so it is guaranteed that it will come for nextgen too. But It’s much cheaper if you bought the console. In any case, it will never come to India as it is a niche market here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah different products (one is purely entertainment and the other is an all in one, every day use and critical for personal and work use) and different set of target markets. Also there are only 2-3 consoles unlike multiple brands with multi price strategy for phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need that plan in India anyway since we have no cost emis here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK (and I think EU and US as well) have contract plans. People don't spend $1000 very 2 years. They sign contracts where they spend a very minimum amount (Maybe $100-$200) and get locked in with a phone subscriber (Like say Vodafone/Airtel in India). People have to use only that phone service provider for like 5 years or so and their billing comes at a pre-agreed rate. These Service Providers also have plans that cover phone upgrades, so if a new iphone launches, the service provider foots the bill allowing you to upgrade (again paying only a very minimum amount). The pgones are locked to the service provider at a hardware level and you can't switch the call service provider under these plans. AFAIK this model was even tested in India when the original Iphone first launched (With Reliance providing the contract I believe). But it was very quickly withdrawn when people started rooting the phones here, allowing them to bypass the hardware lock/contract and taking up other Service Providers. So in India, your only choice, if you want "To Keep Up with the Joneses" is to upgrade at $1000 full price every 2 years. Such Rooting services are available in EU/US as well, but contracts are much more seriously enforced over there I believe, so not many people get away with rooting so easily.

If i am not wrong, contract plans are largely a thing of the past in US. They are still there, but not as widely used as before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(As it appears from the pics) DS4 was best controller with rubbery grip, I could play hours without any pain. DS5 Is like X360 controller.
