Completely agree.. this calculation makes sense to me, the average salary of a college graduate in the US is 5000$, and a DVD costs around 50$, so by the same proportion a DVD should cost between 100 and 300 Rs. However a Game DVD costs 2300 Rs. i.e. no middle ground..

> average salary of a college graduate in the US is 5000$

Median personal income for a US person age 25+ with a BS degree or higher is $49303 per year. If you only consider those with a full-time job, it's $56078.

It seems he was talking in a per-month basis, even for the use of the word 'salary'. But I may be wrong.

With a BS, that is. That excludes large swathes of college educated people who have less valuable BA's.

That's still $40k for full-time, not $5k.

The average DVD costs around 10-15 dollars.

Game DVD.. not movies..
