Xbox One S & Xbox One X (Scorpio) (2017)

I think it's overpriced for us, in the U.K. It's £450, you can buy a Dell Inspiron PC with the Ryzen chip for £699. I think when it's around the £300 mark it'll be worth it, but I can't see that ever happening, maybe it'll drop to £375 ish? The Xbox One S is good value now, unless you do want that 4K gaming in some games.
It is a nice system, just think these launch prices are high but they drop soon enough.

Price isn't really bothering me too much as the Xbox One & Kinect bundle I bought on launch was €499 too.
It's more of a case that I am not seeing enough justification to buy the hardware based on Xbox exclusive titles as other than cuphead, very little has pepped my interest. Likewise then I am not sure I will see enough of a boost fidelity wise over the checkerboard 4k gaming I get on the PS4 Pro as is. At least not enough of an increase to warrant buying it.
I may change my mind but at the moment I see nothing that knocks my socks off to push me to order.
I see the green hue now in that video, when he lifts and flips it at 52 seconds when light hits it at an angle.
Hmm may cancel that preorder now and wait for a deal on the regular black console.
I pre-ordered as I had BB certificates and also a very limited amount of the Special Editions were offered.
I will go from there and either sell or see what its all about.
I prefer gaming on XB as my primary system so this is a very welcome addition.

Never owned an XBox. I remember getting a PS3 for the media capabilities.
I find myself considering one of the newer XBoxes specifically for the media functions. Had the PS4 had said abilities (UHD BR, H265 hardware decode), I would have owned one by now.

I've played Forza 7 on the Xbox Scorpio, it was at Good Wood Festival Of Speed this year, a load of the dev kit machines in simulators. No idea if it was a 4K screen but it didn't blow my socks off I have to say...
Still early days.
I love my Xbox One S and use it every day, play the games at the weekend then use it for streaming all week, it's great for what I want. I won't be upgrading, no need as I don't have a 4K TV and it does all I need and uses less electricity doing it too!
Scorpio is black with a grey gradient of dots. It says project Scorpio in Xbox green on the console and controller.
I've seen the Xbox one x case at the Microsoft store. I'm holding off for plain black. It will disappear into my entertainment center.
Pre order is in and has been accepted, not been this excited about new tech for over 5 years
Congrats and I am with you!
Here's a closer look at the Project Scorpio Xbox One X, and the Minecraft SE Xbox One S (very, very, cool - can't wait until real special editions of Xbox One X's come out)

OK so it's a black to gray gradient, should be nice. I'll keep my preorder for now.
I stopped by the Microsoft store the other day. They had dummy units of the One X and the Minecraft One S on display. I gotta say the Minecraft edition is very cool. I will probably pick up both the creeper and pig controllers
I asked the gaming rep if the Scorpio edition One X will be green, he said it'll be solid black like the regular edition He also told me each Microsoft store has 50 Scorpio allotted, and that his store has 15 preorders on it.

I think that Minecraft console looks freaking fantastic, and I'm not even into Minecraft!
I just got the email from Amazon they had more Project Scorpio Xbox One X available for preorder, so I jumped on it and ordered. I would swear I checked Amazon yesterday and it was not available for preorder any longer, so I'm assuming MS made more units available to Amazon.
I saw the minecraft box in the MS store today, it looked uber cool I have to say.
It's not just colors, the blocks have etched lines to them.
If we didn't have 2 Ss already I'd buy one, but I'm more than happy to be getting a X to replace a day 1 edition black.
I was at the MS Store today as well, and that Minecraft one is really cool, especially that translucent underside.
They didn't have any mock-up XBox One X Scorpio Editions...
I got a smoking deal on a founders edition GTX 1080TI at Micro today for $335 For some odd reason they clearanced that card out. Looks like I'll be cancelling the One X preorder. Can't justify having both, especially when all Microsoft first party titles is available on the PC. Forza 7 running on 1080TI should be sweet.
This back and forth will never end. I had a 1070 in this box, which I was going to sell entirely, then decided to sell just the 1070 (while prices are high) and downgraded to a 1050TI. That little card is surprisingly capable. Anyway, rise of tomb raider looks absolutely luscious playing at 4K on very high at 60fps
Yeah never mind that I have like 40 games in my steam library that I largely haven't even played.

Someone made a grave error - that card is around $750. Open box at mine is $695...
