Buying Don Bradman Cricket 14 in Asia

[lion100lion]

Bro but the site shows 4299 for the steel box!!

There is hardly any difference between 3999 and 4299 if you are really waiting to play the game..

From IVG for those interested.

Pre-order for Rs 3,655.

Guys, will the standard edition of the game will be cheaper after a few months from release?

 

[MattW]

No. The game will stay at or around the initial retail price, as is the case with other Tru Blu games.

Thanks for the info but i heard that the price in US is comparitively low

There is only one edition. Steel Book (available at select retailers) is a pre-order bonus without any extra cost.

Big Ant studios don't discount the games.

If at all there is discount in the coming months, its the retailers discount means they sell it minimizing their profit

Heard that from where?

Awwww man just go through the thread about the game's distribution in the US

Steelbook is just a bonus for pre order and is not like a special edition or anything like that ...So both the prices are same...

I meant did you hear it from a reliable source (e.g. Ross) or is it just someone making something up?

If it was that much lower in the US, everyone would be importing from there.

Short version: There is no US price to be 'comparatively' low compared to.

Detailed version:
It's not true regardless - currently the norm in the US for new games is to list at US$60. Most if not all of the prices you see right now are inclusive of sales taxes - which vary between countries.

The current UK listings are around ?45 - but that includes a 20% VAT in the price. If you take away the VAT from the price and convert to US dollars - you get $60.

In India, it's apparently 13% - take that off the 4299 Rs. retail price and convert - $61

In Australia, at the cheapest retailer (MightyApe) - take the 10% GST off the price and convert, what do you know - $61.

The pricing is remarkably consistent, with the differing factor being taxation differences - which is the one local market factor they have no control over.

So no - there's nowhere that's getting a special deal on the game.

The other issue for Indians complaining of the price, the import duty is a whopping 28.85% on video games!!!! I hope your government is spending your money wisely!
