Xbox One preorders begin in China July 31, pricing still a mystery

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).

(See: Neverwinter Online will be an Xbox One launch title in China, along with 19+ other games)

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).
