There is no official release date for the PS5 in India but you can grab one for Rs 90,000

While the PS5 has an official price in India, the launch date seems like a distant dream. While Sony India may have their lips sealed as far as a release date is concerned, the grey market is selling the PS5 in India for an exorbitant price!

Digit visited known games and console retailer in Pune to inquire about the PS5. On the evening of the 24th of November, the retailer told Digit that he can arrange for the console for Rs 90,000. When we told him that the official India price of the Disc Edition console was Rs 50,000 and Rs 40,000 for the digital one, he said that the unit he was selling was an imported one and that the console isn't officially available in India. 

We tried to haggle with him to bring the price down to 80k or lower, to which he said we should come back in a couple of weeks and the price of the console would be thereabout. He says that the console should be closer to its India official retail price by January as that's when it is “expected to launch officially”. This isn't too far from what we are speculating as the PS4 launched internationally in November 2013 and in India in the first quarter of 2014. 

When asked if there was a demand for the console at such an inflated price, he said that he has sold some consoles, but didn't give a definitive number. The inflated price of the console is the same that has been reported by others in India. 

The PS5 has been sold out worldwide. In the UK, Amazon delivery agents have been stealing PS5 and customers have been getting random objects instead of the gaming console.

Jio effect: Bharti Airtel may soon shut down 2G, 3G and shift on 4G-only network

Taking a cue from Reliance Jio which offers only 4G network, Bharti Airtel is looking to transform it current setup to become the second 4G-only network provider in India. According to the company’s Chief Executive, Gopal Vittal, Airtel is expediting steps to deploy the fourth generation airwaves in the 900 Mhz band, which are currently used only for 2G voice services, to 4G only. The Economic Times said that Airtel has 116 units of airwaves in the 900 MHz band across 16 circles. “We are seeing dramatic growth in 4G demand, and over a period of time, the 900 Mhz band will purely serve our 4G customers, while 2G services will be continue to be available on the 1800 Mhz band,” Vittal said, adding that the company will have “a transition strategy in place” in the run-up to deploying all its 900 MHz band spectrum for 4G services.
