You Can Finally Preorder the Xbox One X From These Places

As expected, Microsoft just divulged Xbox One X preorder details during a livestream prelude to the annual Gamescom show in Cologne, Germany. The $499 super-powered Xbox One games console, capable of running games at 4K native resolution, launches worldwide on November 7. The version you can preorder now is called the Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition. It's still $499 with a 1 terabyte hard drive, but Microsoft describe this as a limited edition console with a custom design: the words "Project Scorpio" (the system's pre-unveiling codename) emblazoned on the console and included gamepad, as well as "sophisticated and dynamic graphic pattern" across the system exterior. "Get Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition before it's gone forever," reads the marketing teaser--there'll be an unmarked $499 version at some point down the road, in other words. But Microsoft says the limited edition is only available until supplies run out.
