Xbox One X Preorder Thread

You'll all be laughing when the pre-order Scoprio edition is announced as a 2TB with elite controller and codes for Forza.

It'll never happen

I can't be bothered to change my order even though the gradient is a little odd.

Just changed my pre order too. It's not the gradient, it's the project Scorpio that I don't like on the console and controller.

Preorders for many retailers in Europe are up now.

In the US, we're starting at 10am tomorrow morning.

Be sure and check in-store if you can't find it online. For the Project Scorpio Edition, that was run primarily as an online pre-order.

This time, retailers will be managing pre-order inventory differently, so you might have better luck at a brick-and-mortar location this time around.

Hey Albert can you comment a bit on the stock situation and Microsofts expectations?

Of course you can misjudge and underestimate the demand, but is the goal for MS to have units on shelf on release date Novemver the 7th? Or is the supply, more than the Project Scorpio Edition, but still limited and could sell out?

Thanks

Good luck with getting an answer to that one - I like your optimism.

I would guess the answer would be:

"We believe that our projections are robust and that we can meet the demand we expect from the product. We expect units to be available on shelves at launch and our delivery channels are flexible to increase the demand if we need it. We've been delighted at the strong demand for the Scorpio and are grateful to you all for buying it"

Followed by either:

"Wow, we didn't expect it to be such a huge success. Sorry we're sold out but we're sending new stock out as soon as we can"

or

"We did such a good job with our delivery pipeline that there is actually stock on the shelves so pats on the back all round in production and projections - we're selling really well".

I do want one but can't get it until just before Christmas. I'll just have to take my chances.

We're so close (for U.S. folk at least) and I'm definitely ready! Gonna drive over to Gamestop at 1 and lock in my pre-order. I was really torn between the One X and buying more Switch games, but I have a ton of Xbox games pre-ordered already and I wanna see them at their best. Bring on today and then November 7th!

I'll likely end up cancelling my Scorpio Edition on Amazon UK at somepoint this week, but I'll drop a heads-up here so someone else can grab it.

I think I will stick with the Scorpio. Don't want to run around today trying to get another order at EB. Also, I will look really cool leaving with my 1337 Scorpio box.

Sorry if this has been talked about a ton already in this thread, but does anyone's Amazon preorder for the Xbox One X Scropio Edition have a delivery date on it?

I had to talk to customer service to update my shipping address, ensuring that changing it won't delay my xbox or cause me to miss out on the SE, but checking the status now and there is no estimated delivery.

Just want to see if that's the norm or not :p

You can order from Xbox One, too - this just appeared.

The page has a lot of info on. It shows Crimson Skies.

It also shows all Enhanced titles - which again excludes Call of Duty and Destiny 2.

Mine doesn’t have a date either.

Ugh I really want to take advantage of the preorder but I'm wondering if it's worth it if I have a PS4 pro and gaming PC. This is purely just on a consumer worry, not a performance worry.

Out of curiosity, What's the main reason why you will buy an Xbox One X?
If it's a game let us know what game it is.

Mainly because the option is there. Upgrading my console like I would my phone or tablet I guess. I'd like the best possible system and I have the extra cash right now so why not.

For me, it's really that I'm invested in the Xbox platform and want to get the best experience said platform can deliver. Using Bing rewards and game sharing with a friend (we split the cost on games we want) has made just about all the software/services I want on Xbox free. I don't see a reason to not invest in better hardware under those circumstances.

Though to be fair, I've been heavily debating this decision for some time now. My available time for playing games on my Xbox is diminishing and it's really tempting to just spend that money on Switch games instead.
