Not in Pakistan mate..not in Pakistan!

Nexus 7 is still going on 27K 8gb version. Though the retail price is 199USD direct conversion into PKR is 19,000/- I feel thats a rip off price.

Easier said than done. Local online/storefront retailers that are offering Nexus 7 cannot even offer official Asus warranty. Its not a Rip off at all because these products are not made to be distributed to a country like Pakistan. The local agent beings a container full of new, refurbished, unbranded, grey market products every month from destinations like UAE, Singapore etc. They will buy this at retail prices which is $199, then pay logistics and under table, which is 1000 to 1500 per unit. Then sell to whole sellers keeping their 10% profit. Wholesellers will keep their 2% to 5% margins and sell to retailers which ideally should keep nothing less than 10%.

I think they spent a whole of 5-10 minutes designing that thing. Then another 10 to design the Nexus 10.
That's 5-10 minutes more than Apple spent on designing iPhone 3Gs and 4s

I do agree that this looks pathetic to say the least. They copied design of Galaxy Nexus and managed to make it worse

No need to change an outer design that works. In reality, both companies probably worked tirelessly to ensure all the components fit in the little space provided by the designs. Stop undermining their effort.

Show me a retail/online store where Nexus 7 is selling for $199. That $199 price is ONLY for Google Play Store from where you can't buy in bulk. Everywhere else like Amazon the 8GB version is for over $250. Google should make this clear when they announce prices.

Just watched the verge video of the nexus devices and whoever says the nexus 4 is ugly has lost their mind. NOTHING and absolutely nothing beats a button-less and logo-less front.

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Gradually transitioning from console gaming to PC as the games are not worth it. 6 hours of Hellblade 2 is just not worth the $50 price tag.
    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
