Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
Bit pointless getting excited about it then really.

This sounds like a review from a while back for some reason. I dont know. Still, what they say is probably spot on.
thought i'd put this here too.

Cannot watch it right now, but if this is from last week did they have any XBX enhanced games to look at? Didn't think the patches were out then.
For those of us who pre-ordered from the Microsoft Store, I spoke with a rep in chat today and they said that orders are supposed to start shipping out tomorrow (Thursday). I live in Canada and didn't mention that to the agent, so no idea when I'll get mine but hopefully its on Monday.
Just checked my order on MS store, no movement yet. No hold on my Visa for the funds either, so they haven't processed it. Only 11:30 here in NL tho, so there's still hope

I'm so torn whether to keep this preorder or cancel it. I barely have time to play games anymore and i already have a Pro and a Switch (which i never use). So, I might wait for reviews tomorrow before I cancel my Scorpio edition on Amazon.

Just finished. It is great to get some insights into to the Scorpio's production. I like Penello too...he seems more down to Earth than even Spencer. Hope it all pays off for MS at some point.

Has anyone who pre-ordered from Best Buy the Scorpio edition had any movement?
Mine is still at processing with a delivery of the 7th next tuesday. It says my credit card is "awaiting authorization".
Is this normal? When should we expect them to start shipping it out?
My walmart pre order was charged today but was pushed back until November 16th and now I'm really relying on best buy to come through.

Its normal. It will change when they charge. It will go to preparing. Depending on distance from shipping center, they may wait longer if you are close. Will change to shipped when they print a shipping label for the box.

Has anyone's Target Scorpio preorder shipped yet?
Mixed bag of a review here, not sure they totally get the point of the X in places by the way its written but worth a read. https://www.t3.com/reviews/xbox-one-x-review

Small amount of 4k games? The hell are they smoking?

Don't mean to bump this with a my own inquiry but what does GAF think, should I bite on this or not?
Also I just learned about the project Scorpio edition. Just a special limited edition of the console?
Also I don't have a 4k tv. Would it really matter playing on it until I do get a 4k tv?

Ha, yep was exactly my response as well. I think theyve combined 2 opinions from 2 different times here and passed it off as a review.
Cheers for Link, Saw that one this morning oddly enough, not sure if hes broken embargo with that or not.

Scorpio Edition is a limited edition console though some places like Target in this thread has opened them back up for pre order.
My Gamestop says they will have 2 or 3 Scorpio Editions on hand because of people changing over to standard.
As far as not having a 4k TV the X will do Super Sampling and here is a quick rundown of that:

That's pretty accurate right now though isn't it?
saw this on reddit:
The following is a list of confirmed Xbox One X benefits for 1080p TV owners. I am no expert on tech specs. I have compiled the list from interviews and articles which are freely found on the web:
Faster load times. The One X HDD is 50% faster than the One S. And the extra 4GB of RAM with the much higher bandwidth, can speed up the loading of assets etc)
Hardware inside the One X provides Anisotropic Filtering (AF) to existing games (makes textures a little clearer). Albert Penello mentions this in an interview with The Know
Existing XB1 games which have dynamic resolution and / or dynamic frame rate will look best and perform best on a One X (edit: i.e. resolution should stay at its maximum and / or frame rate should stay consistent and smooth)
Super sampling is enabled by default on games which target 4k. This means that a 4k game playing on a 1080p TV, will have a better image quality than a native 1080p game on the same TV.
Further visual benefits would include higher quality textures which can be seen further into the distance, longer draw distances for the geometry, and extra effects. This is dependent on what the developer does with their game

Thanks.
Why would people switch from Scorpio edition to standard? Just preference?
How much would an original Xbox One sell for online? I figure id sell it to get something to apply toward an X

Less than 20 at launch possibly? even less if talking about Native 4k? I'm not knocking the Xbox One X as I have it on pre-order, but I'm not expecting a sudden mass of enabled titles on launch day still.
I'm not sure. I never received mine. I heard you can just go to the store and they can kook it up and do it. I don't believe is starts until Tuesday for the trade in. If you have already paid it off, I suspect you can still get the credit for it. I don't know if they will refund the difference if you want to do that.

Believe Penello said 50 ish launch day and over 80 by a few weeks after launch.

Man, I was excited to have mine to play Shadow of War, Origins and CoD WW2 in my new LG OLED, but the games do not have the HDR patch or even X enhancements out, right?
Kinda sucks.

Yeah he did - but so far less than 20 enabled so it would have to be a large jump to get to 50 titles for launch - hope I'm wrong though.

It's not launching til next week and considering the press have been playing Shadow of War and CoD WW2 Xbox Enhanced versions i'd be stunned if they didn't launch. Oh and Origins has the patch out now.

1. Do you have a gaming PC? Then no.
2. Do you have a PS4 and thats it? Then maybe.
3. Do you want to watch UHD movies? Maybe but cheaper to get an S.
4. Do you have money to go blow and just want new hardware? Then yes.
It really comes down to the PC question. There is nothing the XB gets that PC doesnt. The only potential benefit would be if you cross buy games and want to play them both on your PC and Xbox.
If you have a PS4, youre only missing out on Xbox exclusives and thats a small list.
Im so glad you took this step, it really is best for both of you...and Xbox....mainly you and Xbox.
Same for me on my order from Best Buy. I've already been charged from Paypal and have a scheduled delivery on the 7th, but still in processing.
shpankey
not an idiot
That's not %100 true, albeit point well taken. But the PC doesn't get some sports games (Madden, NHL, NBA Live) just off the top of my head.

I just checked on my pre-order and it hasn't been updated either. No text about credit card charges as well. Hmmm. For me the day has another 9 hours left so things could change... Haha.
The logistics behind coordinating launches like this must be pretty complex. Shipping large numbers of units around the world for hopefully a Nov. 7 delivery must be daunting. Hopefully UPS (I think this is who MS uses) is kind to my Scorpio Edition.
