The Xbox One is slowly creeping toward its late September release date in China, but it turns out Chinese gamers won’t have to wait until then to secure a copy. Chinese e-commerce site Jingdong will begin to allow preorders on July 31, according to the new promotional image released by the company (below).

But what will the console actually cost? We still don’t know. The Jingdong promotional image encourages users to guess the price for the Kinect-enabled device, and lists prices ranging from RMB 3299 (about $530) all the way up to RMB 4999 ($806).
One assumes the real price is on the lower end of that spectrum (otherwise this would be kind of a cruel promotional strategy), and there have been rumors for nearly a month now that the device will go on sale for the second-lowest listed price: RMB 3599 ($580).
