Hong Kong never had a ban so you are factually incorrect.

But.. one more time.  you are derailing.  stop.

I never stated Hong Kong had a Ban, i pointed out that Hong Kong is a part of China, so i am correct that the xboxone is not the very first console to release in china after the ban. so no i am correct and i am not derailing the thread.

I just wonder if the 499 yuan pre-order deposit is indicative of the rumored 4.999 yuan ($800) sales price?
Like that deal with China Telecom the other day, exclusive availability may be a hindrance, but also a possible advantage if they offer subscription plans.
Hopefully Microsoft will provide some numbers post-launch, this is a very interesting, unexplored market.

$565.  $800 was a rumour based on bugger all.

 

There was rumor before, that the Chinese Xbox One will sport a whopping $800 (4,999 RMB) price tag. But a picture leaked yesterday seems to put consumers at ease, bringing down the price of Xbox One "limited edition" to 3,499 RMB ($565). I should mention that every price tag in China is the after-tax price. For something labeled $500 pre-tax in the United States, $65 extra for tax and tariff isn't bad at all. The price even competes well against Xbox Ones smuggled into China (how the majority of Chinese consumers are buying game consoles in the past decade), which are mostly in the 3,100 - 3,700 RMB range on Taobao, China's most popular online shopping site.

According to the leaked picture, the 3,499 RMB bundle includes the console itself, one "customized" controller, the Kinect sensor, plus:

  • 100 RMB coupon for shopping on major e-commerce website JD.com.
  • Another 100 RMB coupon for buying a second controller.
  • Gif pack" (content unclear) worth up to 1,000 RMB.
  • 3 "blockbuster games" (not clear which three yet).

Plus, by China's government-mandated service standard for consumer electronics, the Chinese Xbox One comes with 2 years of warranty.

Chinese Microsoft-centric news site WPDang consulted their insider source, and confirmed that said price and bundled contents are very credible. 

Microsoft and its Chinese partner BesTV are expected to demonstrate the Chinese Xbox One on the ChinaJoy expo (July 31 - August 3, in Shanghai). We will know more about console's launch in China in the coming days.

Thanks for that. When I saw the picture, I remembered that news item. It completely slipped my mind, though.

It is actually a great price, cheaper than in Europe in most places.

You need to do some reading.

Fly to Hong Kong and then try to drive into China... you wont be able to.  You need a seperate visa.

Hong Kong is allowed to operate seperately on many levels and has never banned consoles.   Hong Kong has its own currency, border, stock exchange and legal system.

The xbox one is the first console to launch post ban IN China.  End of story.

And is Hong Kong in fact a part of China? that Answer is yes! is the consoles being sold after the ban after British handed hong kong back to china or before? After it does not matter if i have to have a seperate visa or paper's or have to have my hair color Blue, Hong Kong is part of China thus , to be frank to be correct the xboxone to launch first to launch in mainland china,it is not the first console after the ban to be the first to launch in China!

yes it is...look here

The handover ceremony of Hong Kong in 1997 officially marked the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong from theUnited Kingdom to the People's Republic of China. It was an internationally televised event with the ceremony commencing on the night of 30 June 1997 and finishing on 1 July 1997. The ceremony was held at the new wing of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) in Wan Chai.

No, I was like 5 years old in 1997. But still it can go either way, Hong Kong has it's own currency and stock, while citizens need visa's to enter china and vice versa. So you could say it's apart of China but you can also say it's not. That's how I see it at least.
