Check out MS' main advert for the 360 in INDIA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM5Din5kbak I' m pretty this makes sense in Bollywood India... Btw, when the guy goes back to talk to his wife after he gets the roti prata (the flat dough), he' s saying " Where' s the ghee?" Ghee' s just really fatty butter.

Do you usually eat ghee spread over the prata (kinda like bread and butter), or is it used in the dough, or both? In Singapore, we usually just eat it with whatever curry or sugar; even the Indians. Prolly cos it' s hard to come by good industrial size ghee vats anymore...only in Malaysia... PS: Didn' t know you were an Indian 2pac ![](https://forum.kikizo.com/upfiles/smiley/s2.gif) What' s the gaming culture like over there?

Its pretty much like how bread and butter go together ... Gaming culture ?? Xbox 360 is probably the first console which launched within one year of its global launch ..The ps2 was released 2 yrs ago here and i dnt think the xbox was ever officially avaviable here .. I had to import both my xbox and ps2 ... India is still pretty much a pc centric market .. Its changing though , heard the x360 is selling well ... But it costs like 550$ here .. Piracy is what discouraged microsoft and sony from launching consoles in india , until now that is ...

Hm, I see. Pretty much the same situation in China. Huge markets, but piracy kills the software sales (although hardware sales at least, should be huge). With MS' online network, which naturally check for ' modded' 360s, do you think it' s enough to discourage Xbox piracy in India? Some of the chips can just be turned on or off though...plus, there are those who know how to hack the box/360 so that they go online on private networks instead of Microsoft' s...

Some of the chips can just be turned on or off though...plus, there are those who know how to hack the box/360 so that they go online on private networks instead of Microsoft' s... I saw a pirated x360 goin for half the market price yesterday ... But i guess owning a 360 without xbox live doesnt make sense so ppl should stop buying the modded 360' s ...Still with such a price difference ppl with no interest in online gaming will be tempted to buy the modded ones ...

Very true. I admit though, I never got into Xbox Live but it was a personal issue (my Internet point is far, far FAR from my living room =/). However, since online gaming is pretty much 360' s forte, the one that would really get hurt is the PS2/PS3, even though now they' re hosting some kind of online network.

I never liked the Indian culture, this as is quite silly. Are you kidding me? Indian culture is great! Fantastic cuisine, amazing funky music, and a pantheon of sensual gods and goddesses... stellar all around. Not to mention some of great literature and mathematicians who were in effect since waaaay back. The only thing I don' t like is the caste system, but every culture has some less than pleasant aspects.

This commercial is no more fucked up or " stranger" than any other Indian commercial.

Meh, Bollywood kicks Hollywood' s ASS! While dancing to bangra (sp?) XD AND with a banana tree XD XD XD ...you really won' t get the joke if you don' t know jack about Indian culture -.-... Personally, I think the commercial should have been more Bollywood, less Superman meets Mr Fantastic. Bangra music, banana trees, AND synchronized dancing! It' ll be da bomb!
