Xbox One is headed to more markets in the coming months and Russia on that list. Slated for release in September, new information regarding preorders and the final pricing have been officially revealed by Microsoft this morning.

Starting July 15, Russians can preorder the latest Microsoft console from M. Video, Eldorado, Media Markt, 1C-interest, White Wind, DNS, Yulmart, Ozon.ru, Republic Games and GamePark. The Xbox One kits come with Forza Motorsport 5, FIFA 15, 500 GB HDD, wireless controller, headset, HDMI-cable and 14-day trial subscription Gold Xbox Live Gold.

The best deal for the Xbox One though seems to be through M-Video, who already have a landing page ( www.mvideo.ru/xbox-one) and they also toss in Halo Spartan Assault as an extra in addition to selling the console one day early.

Pricing has also been adjusted, as the Xbox One without Kinect sensor costs 20,999 rubles, down from 22,999, and with the Kinect Sensor it is 27,449 rubles, reduced from 27,990.

Do you think Xbox One going to more markets this fall will dramatically help sales?
