Didnt know that. Cheers going to try that.

Went with Gamestop. Link here (for some reason the actual Xbox One X page is just an email sign up page still). Delivered by courier with tracking so happy out with that. They've almost always delivered a day early but with the release on a Tuesday, I don't see them dispatching it on the weekend.

Same and their emails state the same too

As this is for a Pre-Order item that is not currently in stock, you will receive another email when your order is ready for dispatch from our warehouse.

No payment has been taken yet. As part of our Pre-Order price promise, if the price decreases between now and when your order is dispatched, you will be charged the lower price.

The estimated availability date is : 07 Nov 2017

Wouldn't lose sleep over a Scorpio Edition am I alone in thinking it's not different enough to the standard version ?

Not too different. Xbox Scorpio wording is on the console and the controller. Some kind of pattern over the console also. It's ID number is also engraved onto the console.

It will hold more value than the standard Xbox One X because it's a proper limited edition.

This video shows all the detail.

It's also a proper limited edition as well, it's seemingly sold out in most places on the internet. Vastly different from the Day One edition of the Xbox One, which could be found in stores for months afterwards.

Just checked Amazon again there now and there gone. Everywhere else will probably be the same soon.

There's plenty of places that have them up for pre-order, Amazon UK, MS Store, Smyths etc etc.....Some of them are now starting to list the normal SKU as well, but no doubt MS are pushing the Limited one first

My bad when I checked again I was checking the standard edition. Only checked as seen on twitter they were gone on amazon.com and amazon.de. Supposedly in a few minutes on the German site. Interesting to see how many scorpio editions they are.

Ordered from GameStop last night. The order form specifies Scorpio edition, but the email confirmation says just XB1X. Would be that one though, right?
Paid 50 deposit, must pay 449.99 on collection.

Ordered scorpio edition from Amazon - have to keep an eye out for TV bargains now

gmg678

going to pop into smyths/gamestop after work to preorder it. should still have the Scorpio one I hope.

mossym

figured all the scorpio models would be gone by today, but looked at smyths this morning and still available so order went in for collection.

Haha, it's confirmed that they charge at collection about 6 posts ago.

Eek. Had to quickly double check my preorder, it says Project Scorpio edition.

Microsoft Ireland still have the Scorpio Edition for pre-order (here), only charged when the item ships.

collections as CIAB said...i wouldn't have bothered preordering otherwise

With these special pre-order editions you're basically branding your Xbox as first off the production line which to me is not a good thing.

But then again, I'm probably just envious because I'm not in a position to buy one just yet :-p

Wonder how much I can dump my perfectly serviceable Xbox One S for.

Yeah, I wasn't going to go counting them!

Amazon UK look to be sold out of both editions. Reading on Reddit Bestbuy and MS are too, didn't think demand would be that high

Could be small numbers of the Scorpio available.

Looks like CEX will you about €160 for a 500gb version!

I can get the Xbox One X for 410. So if I can sell a 1tb S for circa 180, I can almost justify it. Hmm. Of course prices for the S will probably plunge at launch of the X.

Still waiting for a reply from GameStop, I hope they're not idiots, nor pulling a fast one.
The website still says you're pre-ordering the Scorpio Edition, until you look at the cart. From then on, they only say XBox One X.

I ordered last night online, went in today to pay a chunk of money off. asked the guy taking the money if it was the scorpio edition, he said it was.
