I don't think so because you can anyway buy a new 48incher for under a Lakh. It's entirely your call.

If Sony got away with it on PS5 launch - Nintendo easily will on Switch 2 launch! Release a new Zelda/Pokemon/Mario and even at $100 - they'll see the games flying off shelves and sales in millions I expect! These IPs are huge and big enough to give GTA a competition sales wise (maybe beat it too - just that these are a different market and not selling to usual GTA crowd) What will fail though - is when other publishers try the same! I can't see any other IPs other than Rockstar and Nintendo (and maybe the FIFA and the MMO crowd, now that even COD is dying) If Sony tries charging $100 for even major IPs like ND games like Intergalactic or Wolverine or Ubisoft or other 3rd party publishers (MS has become a non-entity at this point I think) too fast, before people are completely used to it - they'll fall flat on their faces! But once people are used to it- expect prices to stay high, including GPU and PS+ prices

17.6 k for 2 years not worth it then?

Seems a little steep to me.

75K from Nekavo. No, disc drives are wayyy too overpriced in India for now. Planning to visit Malaysia end of this month, will get it from there.
