No to both Amazon and Best Buy

I usually get large items from Best Buy due to the rewards, but GameStop seemed like the better idea with pay as you go until Nov 7 and trade ins.

 

[Kacho]

yes can anyone confirm will it arrive release day from amazon, ms store?

They said they would notify me of the delivery date later or something

 

[cb1115]

pre-ordered on Amazon and they can't give me a delivery estimate yet. anyone else get that message?

^^^welp guess i have my answer lmao

 

[Klocker]

Albert,
Any word on Kinect adapter program?

Yes all of us OG xb1 customers with kinect deserve an opportunity to adapt our Kinect for free going to X as S owners did.

would seem ridiculous that I need to pay $40 for that

 

[HooYaH]

You must be new to Amazon preorders or never notice, but Amazon automatically usually change Prime users to release day closer to release date.

 

[ghostmind]

Amazon Canada already has confirmed release day delivery for the unit I just preordered.

 

[Colbert]

Pre-ordered a regular one and canceled the Scorpio Edition to give somebody the chance to get one.

yea been a prime member for years but never preordered. always went GS.

have a Scorpio on preorder but no delivery date yet from Amazom.

just preordered Xbox x from Best Buy due to price match , easy returns, exchange and they said explicitly you will GET it on Nov 7.

oh well just making sure haha

 

[tru0ne]

Can't decide which one might have to get both lol

 

[RichiRamjag]

for all those who thought Xbox One X should come with an Elite Controller:

http://m.gamestop.com/product/xbox-...edition-bronze-elite-controller-bundle/153615
$599
as you could get an Elite Controller for that price at sale, you don't save much

Yeah, the guy was trying to push that on me, but i can’t justify one unless they do a refresh.

I thought you would hold strong!

Honestly, that's pretty good for Gamestop as is. Normally they'd make you pay at least MSRP for both items or throw in other junk you don't need.

Nah, did not want to block the console if somebody really wanted to have it. I played it safe as with the regular version I know what I am getting color wise.

I hear that. About to cancel mine as well.

 

[dakilla13]

Man I can't decide between the Scorpio Edition or the regular.

 

[rocksteady1983]

Got mine preordered at GameStop. Had $170 in credit. Did one day shipping since I don't have one near me. Still going to continue to get fat and try the Taco Bell contest. Pretty excited. I was going to just get an S but the wife said she wanted me to get the X and can be a late birthday/early Christmas present.

 

[Ushay]

Why the hell doesn't Amazon have a release day delivery option? They didn't for the Scorpio Edition and they don't for this either. WTF!?!

Was thinking the same thing, hopefully it's a mistake.

[Art Vandilay]

Just a warning to those ordering on Amazon, they will *not* pricematch after they ship it to you under any circumstances.

PS4 Pro was available within 5 days of launch for $360 via Target and at one point $340 from another retailer.

Both of those prices were matched by Amazon on their site, but in both cases Amazon refused to pricematch either a competitor or themselves for my original launch day purchase.

Especially with the high price point I'd expect at least one retailer will do a deal of some kind near launch. As a result if I buy one of these (still deciding) I'm going B&M via Target or BB. Simply because pricematches after purchase are possible.

Or you could just use a Citi or Discover card and price match w/ even Black Friday prices.

 

[HooYaH]

That Foxconn guy looks like he needs to go to sleep.

 

[hanspampel]

That Pegatron guy looks like he needs to go to sleep.

FTFY

 

[Klocker]

Yes and no. They "pre-authorize" your card for the full amount, which does restrict you from spending the money. It also means that if you don't have that much available to spend, they'll cancel the order.

They do not fully charge your card until the order ships though.

Ahh ok thanks

lol Foxconn is his second job.

$200 for an OG? GameStop only does $100 here, sadly.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Amazon pre-order made, Scorpio edition cancelled.

[ToyMachine228]

So what's the word on supply? I thought I saw someone say there aren't allocations meaning that there is no rush to pre-order at this point?

just 1 page back

We absolutely want stock available on launch day. We also have an aggressive replenishment plan to try and keep up with demand over the holiday.

Pre-orders are interesting and complex. For the Project Scorpio Edition, we (Xbox) managed the number of units and released those specifically as a pre-order program. We never intended those units to be available on shelf (although I expect units will trickle out). But we were working very closely with retail on that program.

For this round of pre-orders, the Retailers are driving the program. And these units will be portioned from the units available on launch day.

I only say that since I think you will see a broader variety of implementations around the world (game bundles vs. standalone, in-store vs. online, etc.) and that's really up to how each retailer wants to manage their launch.

Does that help?

 

[Hatefilled Vengeance]

Cancelled the ugly Scorpio, got a beautiful regular.

 

[cakely]

Ah, it's up on Amazon US. This is the edition without the tacky green text that I assume people were waiting for.

It's interesting that the Scorpio edition and the "normal" XBX edition will be available at the same date. I wonder why they did it that way?

Panos Panay checking out ship ready Xbox one X's. It's good to know he'll be involved with the design and building of Xbox consoles going forward.

This sounds to me like this Scorpio Edition is more guaranteed to deliver on time if they happen to be short

 

[#sorrynotsorry]

Well yeah, but they won't be short so it doesn't matter.

 

[watership]

Panos Panay. I love that fucking guy.

 

[Okami Haundo]

Does anyone else use Bing rewards and recently get an email about a Microsoft gift card deal to use towards a pre-order? It has terrible wording but seems to imply you can get 30% off some form of gift card for the online store. I clicked the link but it just takes me to my rewards page after the quiz.

Edit: Here's a picture from the email. No other details that I can find

 

[watership]

So what are the reasons people are cancelling their Scorpio pre-orders? Is it just worry about the colour?

 

[Chitown B]

I don't understand ditching a limited edition version for the plain version. Either way though they'll probably be inside a cabinet and you won't notice the difference.

 

[RedAssedApe]

dead inside assembling these xboxes lol
