Introducing Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition
Microsoft officially unveiled the Xbox One X Project Scorpio Editio. This limited edition will feature a custom design with the words "Project Scorpio" printed on the console and the controller, alongside a sophisticated and dynamic graphic pattern across the exterior.
-- Microsoft -- Today we unveiled the Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition designed for fans who want to be the first to experience the world’s most powerful console – and it’s available for pre-order now for $499 USD until supplies run out.
When we announced Project Scorpio last year, we were overwhelmed by the excitement from our fans. And although we revealed Project Scorpio as Xbox One X at E3 earlier this year, the codename will live on in the Scorpio Engine that powers the console, as well as in this limited edition console. We designed the Project Scorpio Edition for fans to celebrate both our heritage and the power and precision that we are bringing into our future.
The Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition features a custom design with the words “Project Scorpio” printed on the console and the controller and we’ve incorporated a sophisticated and dynamic graphic pattern across the exterior. Fans who have been with us since the very start of Xbox will notice the packaging is inspired by the original Xbox. The Project Scorpio Edition also comes with an exclusive vertical stand so you can choose how to display it in your home.We’ll only have a limited number of Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition consoles, and they will only be available as part of this pre-order. Get them now before they’re gone forever by pre-ordering from your local retailer, including Microsoft Store or Microsoft.com.
We are counting down to the launch of Xbox One X later this year and look forward to getting the world’s most powerful console into the hands of our fans. With 40 percent more power and 60 percent more memory for game developers than any other console, get ready to experience immersive true 4K gaming. Your games play better on Xbox One X and blockbuster titles look great, run smoothly, and load quickly even on a 1080p screen. And excitement and developer commitment for Xbox One X has grown since E3 and, to date, more than 100 new and existing games will be enhanced for Xbox One X to take advantage of its full power.
Xbox One X also works with all your existing Xbox One games and accessories and we’re thrilled to welcome it to the Xbox One family of devices joining Xbox One S. For fans looking for the best value in gaming and entertainment, Xbox One S continues to deliver and we just announced two new bundles joining the ranks – the Xbox One S Shadow of War bundles and the Xbox One S Minecraft Limited Edition bundle. Both Xbox One X and Xbox One S are built to take advantage of 4K entertainment, too, and include an Ultra HD Blu-ray player, 4K video streaming and HDR for videos and gaming.

Hard to believe this wil be out in three month, where did the time go.
Anyway got my order in, replace my aging year old xbox slim. lol
I have an Xbox One (Day One Edition), a second-gen PS3, a PS4 Pro (upgraded from a PS4), a Wii U, a Switch and even a PS Vita but I just cannot summon up any enthusiasm for the Xbox One X despite its more powerful hardware and much improved form-factor over the clunky original (which I bought when Kinect was still a thing... remember that?). I was going to pre-order at one point then I changed my mind.
Why?
Well, I love consoles and I love playing with new gadgets but the Xbox One X offers absolutely nothing that I can't do my PC (which at least is powerful enough to run games at true 4K and not the faux-K that the Xbox One X promises). My Xbox One is just a passthrough for my Sky+HD box these days and I can't remember the last time I actually played a game on it (it was probably the Rare Collection in summer 2015!) And since Microsoft were nice enough to publish Xbox games on PC then the platform that was already threadbare with exclusives has suddenly become worthless for a multiplatform gamer like myself.
I can't say that I'm too sad though as that £450 I save on the hardware can be put towards Switch and PS4 exclusives as well as PC games and hardware. Thank you, Microsoft!

^^^I am totally the opposite, i ditched the U way back last year because that was it, for me it was done after MK8, good console but lack of games, then i ditched the PS4 because i seemed to be just buying all my PS3 games again in remakes that i still had on the PS3, but the big change for me personally was PSN being madatory for online play on PS4, so i had to weigh up which service offered me better value for my buck, PSN or XBlive, and it was XBlive, free BC, four games a month i can play on the same system, and you keep all xbox 360 GWG reguardless of subscription, so it's just value at this point, with the final cherry on the XBX being four console formats in one box, original xbox, Xbox 360, XB1 and Xbox X games, i have a pile of original XBox games just gagging to be unleashed again, and i am hoping the original Forza Motorsport is one of the first to be announced for OXB Back compat.
So at this stage XBX is ticking all the right boxes for me, then add a nice 1070 next year to my PC and i am set for the next 3 years.

For me the appeal of consoles died with the ps2, it was the last true console in my opinion. Or thats just my nostalgia talking. The fact is, these new consoles are becoming more similar to computers and i dont want no fake computer on my living room, i have a real computer on my bed room thank you very much. Theres exclusives though, thats cool.
