With almost all major smart phone manufacturers have done their model launches for the year 2013, now it is the time of the Gaming Consoles. PlayStation 4 which was released in the United States has met with a unprecedented response from the buyers and was sold out within hours. The Indian launch date of PlayStation 4 is still awaited from Sony. It should become available in India by March 2013.
Now all eyes are fixed on the other big release which happen on 22nd November, 2103. The Microsoft's latest gaming console Xbox One will come to the United States users on Friday and officially the Xbox One is supposed to be released in December 2013 which is prety good for Microsoft to get the first mover advantage. The listing of Xbox One on the website snapdeal.com points towards the same. Snapdeal has even given the price of the Xbox One at Rs.40000.00 with EMI options while it is available in the US markets for $499.00 (Rs.31000.00). Though the premium of Rs.10000.00 looks a bit unjustified. The pre-order booking price is Rs.1900.00 and the balance Rs.38001.00 can be paid when Snapdeal confirms the delivery.
