  I have been gaming for 15 years now. I am so excited for PS4, its almost palpable. But MAN!! These guys tease and tease. Give me India Price and Launch date!! Atindriya Bose is seriously killin me. He did say he would announce pricing before Gamescom. That is not around yet. I am actually looking at EUR exchange rates everyday hoping for a miracle turnaround. But past week has been bad. Anyways, hope for the best.
  
  PS. Avid Battlefield 3 player online. Love RPGs - Western and Japanese. And games with the best storytelling ever (I am looking at you - Bioshock).
  Greatness Awaits.

  I think around 31999 or less would be a good price and something not later than 2 weeks after Europe launch which would be around 12-14 December would be awesome. Fingers crossed.
  
  Although, somehow after seeing those 32 countries and India not on there, I have my doubts about 2013. Any idea if we can ship it in from Europe or the US? or will the electricity thing cause an issue?

  Yeah, I'd expect it to make it in the first week of December itself, but you never know. The launch price would be in the Rs. 35k range (my best guess now).

  There will be no electricity problem, they operate at different voltage and frequency (110V, 60Hz) and we operate at (220V and 50Hz). So you can buy a converter and that will solve the problem.

  Here's something depressing for Indian Playstation gamers.
  
  PS4 Uncertain for 2013 Launch in India, “Pricing Dependent on Foreign Exchange Rate”
  
  Silent prayers. For our wallets.

  I was also expecting something like this would happen. The cost at which we are speculating the launch prices are fine if the value of ₹ is stable. Here the scene is worse. We are seeing constant irregularity and fluctuations in ₹. Speaking independently, this move from the makers is totally justified. They would rather not launch the product here rather than corrupting the market for it.

  Can it outbeat Xbox?

  Speculations suggest that the official announcement about the launch date of the PlayStation 4 in Asia will be come during the Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Asia #-Link-Snipped-# 2013 scheduled to be held on 9th September.

  I don't think that Sony will take the risk of launching a major product in such a market where the currency is not stable. No matter they launch it in Asia, I think it will be launched in India around February next year. They will have to be sure on the economic section. Plus next year is crucial in regards to Indian Economy since we can expect a government change.

  Update: Sony's official website has put up a notice that they'll start accepting preorders for the PS4 very soon. The price isn't known yet, but what we do know for sure now is that PS4 is launching in India in 2013; not in 2014 as many of us thought.
  
  So, who's making a pre-order anyways?

  Okay, there's no sign of launch of Playstation 4 in India. We were told that the system will come to India in December; but there's absolutely no word from the retailers ( I enquired at local electronics megastore ) and no update from Playstation India officials.
  
  I'm wondering the India launch will be pushed to Q1 of 2014. In any case, I believe it's better to wait for the first revision of the system with all the hardware bug fixes - several users have reported issues.
