Microsoft opens Xbox One X preorders ahead of the November 7 launch, the company announced during the Gamescom gaming convention in Germany. Similar to the launch of the original Xbox One, for a limited time (starting immediately), you can get the Xbox One X: Project Scorpion Edition, which features a gradient design and the “Project Scorpio” engraving in the console itself.
The Xbox One X is tout as “the most powerful console ever” with 6 teraflops of graphical horsepower, custom eight-core processor, and 12GB of memory allowing the best gaming experience featuring true 4K gaming and video playback. (Additional Xbox One X tech specs details here.)
In addition, Microsoft is working with game studios to make sure that current Xbox One titles are optimized to take advantage of the Xbox One X graphics power. According to the company the enhancements on games will be available at no extra cost for existing owners of the game.
The special edition of Xbox One X is price the same as the regular edition at $499, but if you want one, you better act fast, because it’s only available while supply last during the preorder period, and when they’re gone, they’re gone forever.
