Apparently, some of the Chinese consumers are not pleased with the X1's price and region locking.

Here's some of the comments on this article: http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_6b8988220102v17q.html

"卖那么贵 还锁区"
Translation: "So expensive for something region locked."

"太贵了"
Translation: "Too expensive."

"可以不锁区吗?锁区的话,可以不要禁二手吗?都来的话,我还是买水货"
Translation: "Can you not region lock it? If region locked, can you at least allow 2nd hand games? If not, I will import."

"阉割版的,畸形版的,谁要啊,等ps4吧"
Translation: "Castrated edition, deformed edition. Who wants that? PS4 it is."

"双向锁区+禁止二手交易+世界最贵价"
Translation: "Both region locking and banning 2nd hand games, plus the world's most expensive price (console)."

And there are a lot more comments than just these five.
