If I wanted to do all my gaming on my PC I could have done that a long time ago, its been a really good platform for quite a while, but its still not a console.
equally annoying is how people are complaining consoles are too expensive...yet there's nothing that can run close to its performance anywhere near its price bracket. 12GB of GDDR5 does not come cheap. The teardown video suggests they've also put tons into R&D (form factor, liquid-cooling)

and like hello, have you seen our dollar?

i understand six bills is no small change...but it's all about pay to play if you want a great experience otherwise just buy a One S for literally half the price. No one is forcing consumers to get the latest and 'greatest'...not even Apple despite what you might think (their iPad have not changed in resolution in 5 years...although the battery life and speed might be an issue according to a family member haha)

and also, did everyone forget that PS3 10 years ago costed $699? That's over $800 adjusted for inflation

Price is fine, lack of games is not. So therefore, it's not worth $599.

Pre-orders are up for those interested. Nice limited edition day one Project Scorpio console. Already sold out at Ebgames.ca and Amazon.ca
Best Buy: http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/-/1 ... videogames

Walmart:
https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/xbox-one-x/6000197211770

If you want one of these you should probably lock in now. Otherwise sounds like there will be the regular version up for pre-order in the coming weeks.

EDIT: Sold Out at Best Buy but still up at Walmart. Although not clear with Walmart if it is the Scorpio limited edition. You know them, lol.

I'm looking forward to playing it. MS is probably throwing a ton of $ into to ensure it gets out before the holiday season. If MS was smart, they'd release a bundle: Xbox One X, Battlegrounds and one year of XBL for $50 more.

Thats pretty good list so far of "enhanced games" it's unfortunately missing Sunset Overdrive, hopefully they can strike a deal with Insomniac.
I expect that list to grow as we get closer to launch, Destiny 2 and CoD WWII are curiously missing, probably a marketing deal.

I may be mis-remembering but IRRC the PS4Pro only had a handful of first party titles that were patched at launch and a few big third party games like CoD so this thing is definitely getting the support I'd like to see.

Not me. Just can't believe they are out in droves the day after the pre-orders went live and sold out. Asking for $50 profit is one thing but out of the gate asking for $320 upcharge is plain asinine.

They will end up eating their hat if people are savvy, Microsoft isn't going to supply constrain this. They will want to move systems while they can in the holiday season. There will be a ton of supply. The initial preorder allocation was only 40k but people are freaking out as if it's a Nintendo launch so the resellers are going nuts. More preorder stock and launch stock is guaranteed, Microsoft has a good supply chain.

It's more about the "Scorpio" limited edition that got the re-sellers going. If it was just plain there would be little need. people like limited editions and as such they will sell. Just like the Day One edition of Xbox One in 2013. When they said they are limited I expect them to be just like 20 anniversary PS4s. The fact that this is largest pre-order thus far for an Xbox console is interesting.

To be honest I thought the Scorpio edition stuff was meh and much prefer the look of the stock SKU without the little green text. It's very sleek and understated, a great addition to any home theater. But I guess people just really like the word limited.

I think the best SKU shown was that Minecraft one with the redstone on the back of the controller. I don't know they limited it to the Xbox One S though, would've been really popular as an Xbox One X (ugh these names) entry..

Apparently pre-ordering for non-Scorpio aka regular versions of Xbox One X will commence this week at all retailers. I got an email from EB Games saying they will start Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. Assume everyone else will have it this week as well. It has been confirmed by M$ that Scorpio Editions are sold out and will not be offered.
