Prices of games are also going down. Alan Wake, Fable 3, Gears of War, Halo ODST, Halo Wars and Mass Effect now cost Rs 699 each. Crackdown 2 and the Gears of War triple pack now cost Rs 1,199. Despite these being relatively old games, the drop in prices is likely the result of Microsoft manufacturing games in India itself, instead of importing.
