OK..am living in Iraq and my primary income without any extras is 800$ and am just graduated but i know thats not available for every country but its not only for ngage...what about cars HDTV or computers...they r all sold globally and there price is constant...so i think u must forget this. OK…

The average game sold by the network operators costs about 50-100 bucks ($1-$2.50). This again is a bit expensive, simply because the cracked versions are available so easily. Now you have Ngage, in its current iteration offering better quality but for a hefty premium! Who is going to buy them? The point about online playability is also valid by Sandy. With India still formulating a 3G policy and no auctions happening in the near future, there seems little use of online gaming to us. This raises a few important questions, Do we have any use of a Ngage platform, especially if the new features will be rarely used? (Indian perspective) Is the cost of these new games then justified?

Looks like Nokia thought their way and did little of market research, because Java and Gameloft's Symbian games cost 1/4 of N-Gage titles here. I know now you'll all start about relative quality, but barring COTD, there hasn't been any game worth the money (if you consider that we can't even play online, this makes online games useless for us).
