Delhi pre-launch discounts? I'm not convinced.

Is pre-launch pricing for New Delhi flats just a massive scam? I'm so fed up of renting in Vasant Kunj, landlord ne phir rent badha diya. Finally looking for a 2BHK, budget around ₹1.5Cr. Everyone says pre-launch deals, especially for builders like DLF ya Omaxe, give you huge savings. But honestly, I think it's just a way to lock in buyers early without much transparency. Are those 'early bird discounts' for projects near Dwarka or Rohini actually real? Ya phir, it's just inflated pricing later? Kisi ne truly saved money on a pre-launch in Saket? Seems risky with all the delays, even with Metro Phase IV expansion. Change my mind.
