If you live in Hong Kong, India, Singapore or Taiwan and have been waiting to get your hands on the Xbox One , the good news is that the wait is almost over.

Microsoft's next-generation console will retail for HK$3,380 ($436), INR 39,990 ($675), S$639 ($510), and NT$12,980 ($432) without the Kinect. The Korean pricing for the console was also revealed -- 498,000 Korean won ($490) -- though the company did not say when it will launch.

The new Xbox One console will ship with 14 days of free Xbox Live Gold and a wireless controller. A version bundled with the Kinect will be more expensive, of course.

A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that the Xbox One will launch in Japan on September 2. China is still on track for a September launch, though no firm date has been announced.

Eagle eyed readers may have noticed the price discrepancy between India and the other launch markets -- there's a difference of more than $240 between India and Hong Kong. Understandably, Hong Kong doesn't have taxes on its electronics goods, but a $240 tax is certainly substantial.

CNET has contacted Microsoft for a comment about the pricing, and will update this story when we get more information.
