I was surpised that there wasn't a Wow Themed burger or something. It really feels like they were dropping the ball.

in terms of Chinese specialty, its found in the wraps, the chicken and the breakfast. but for the most part, it's the same as the US. Read more

I'm only going to reply to this with a very short - Delivery is everywhere in the first tier cities!

I'll leave the rest to you since you've covered most of the bases! Thanks! Read more

The 3DS is officially in China, unfortunately they only released two games in China. Read more

The numbers seem to be sold as in China the term used is 卖 Read more

McDonald's in China apart from food scandals is pretty legit with its partnerships. Also since they offer point cards for ingame items, it is a partnership with Blizz/Blizz's Chinese partners, which in this case would be NetEase Read more

You know what, you're right, it's not about your biases, but stand back and read your comment for a moment, and then stand back and read the post and my comments. It definitely does come off that you're looking for and expecting Xbox hate, but I digress.

I am shocked that people lined up for a console in China. I stand… Read more

Sunning's one of China's major electronic stores. Think Bestbuy in China. It's also one of MS's official retail partners along with online retailer JD and China Telecom.

The system is region locked.

I would say, be skeptical. Though the photos show quite a lot of people and if you look on Weibo (Chinese needed) you'd… Read more

oh of course, but i'm talking about the Chinese Xbox One, that thing is region locked. With that sucker being region locked and a hack for the Xbox One and PS4 being at least a few years off, buying imported games won't do official xbox one china owners any good. Read more

In China the Xbox One is region locked. =[ at least that's what i'm told so far, people tried to use Foreign games on it and so far nothing. Read more

hmmm... Fireworks? Dynamite for construction? I guess gunpowder is a double edged sword. Ditto with Paper. Toothbrushes maybe the only one of the three that is truly positive. Read more

That's the thing though...China's Gray market had them since launch last year. you could buy them online and pay like 5 dollar shipping or visit an electronics market and someone would have one. Read more

yeah...but they won't work on a region locked system. I'd be playing Monster Hunter 4 already if my 3DS wasn't an American model. Read more

Hey, more power to the people who want one! It's not that China hasn't seen a console in over a decade, it's that China has seen is first officially launched console. I was expecting the people that wanted the Xbox to already have one.

The gray market which we've written and talked about extensively is the reason why… Read more

I hope I'm credible. If not, I'm sorry?

Argh. I'm sorry but I find that people see things they want to see. I'm totally not bashing the XBox One. I'm surprised it drew a crowd because I'm surprised consoles drew a crowd in China!

Since consoles, despite the illegality, were available in China. People who want them could… Read more

More power to them if they can! Expanding gaming can't be that bad of a thing? Read more

I agree! i hope your imagination is right. Depsite the fact that Chinese gamers will be walled off from the rest of the world in terms of gameplay, their inclusion will work since many gaming boards are unblocked in China! Read more

They've had a year to crack the Xbox One and PS4, still hasn't happened. usually happens around another year or two down the line.

As to the paid spectators, i agree, but there are quite a few comments on Weibo that seem really legit with people showing off their China Day One Xboxes! Even if it's half, it's still a… Read more

I'm not biased against the Xbox. I was at one point, but not now and not in regards to gaming in China. I believe the sale and expansion of consoles into China is a wonderful thing!

I can't seem to ungrey your comment. I've already responded to it before but I'll do it again!

The snark/perceived snark is unintentional. Read more

The problem isn't that the games can be bought from HK, TW, Singapore (the games are often translated into Traditional Chinese in these regions) but rather that the console is region locked. T-T Read more

props! i guess I was just too pessimistic about the console in China! Read more
