I will pre order, but I wonder if we will see some hints of mega deals in and around Black Friday.
E.g: 4k OLED TV with Xbox One X for 'free' (or heavily discounted)

I second this. I got the B6 and have been loving it.
Super impressive... although I would like the S to not be on the stand... but it will still be bigger than the X.

yea me neither.
I just can't make my mind up on whether to buy a playstation 4 slim or pro, or whether to upgrade my Xbox one to an X... Gotta watch that Sony conference i guess
Agreed. I may very well get a PS4 Pro if there's a hardware revision. Heard too many reports about it being loud and whatnot. It's damn ugly too. I'll always keep an Xbox around though for the UHD player if nothing else.

Probably not the best idea. If you look at the one S stand there is gapping at the bottom. The stand actually suspends the side of the console so that air can flow through the side.
Yes and that way I could play exclusives from both sides.. urghh decisions.
BTW I am gaming on a monitor, so what monitor would you guys recommend for the X?
I'm at a gaming crossroads...
I own an Xbox One S, Switch, and PS4 launch version.
I was a 360 gamer, then was a PS4 gamer for the first few years of this gen, but switched when the Xbox One S came out (have a 4k OLED). I don't have a ton of purchased digital games on either platform, probably 10-15 on Xbox and 5-10 on PS....Then all of the PS+ and Games with Gold Games.
I'm going to throw a pre-order in for the Xbox One X no matter what, but I'm strongly debating whether I should 'cut ties' with MS and go all in on PS4 and grab a Pro, or continue using the Xbox as my main...Either way I should probably hold off until November and see what's going on with the One X. I game alone, so gaming friends is not a factor, but I know PS seems to blow XB1 out of the water on sales for nearly every game release...Hmm....

IIRC the X supports FreeSync so definitely make sure you've got that covered.
I mean that's something only you can answer.
It looks fucking incredible. The size is amazing.

It looks like it can, but I wouldn't advise that. The stand is designed to make things more stable but also allow the side vents to still do their thing.
I'm so disappointed with the price. I had my pre-order tab open during the conference refreshing like a madman (which I guess is still not up anyway) and when they said $499 all hype deflated and closed that tab.
It was probably foolish to expect $399, but I genuinely thought MS learned their lesson going $100 over their competition. It doesn't matter if the console could to 8K resolution and 120fps, mainstream market just won't spend $500 on a console. Period.
Although I suppose this was never aimed at the mainstream, right? Their opening statements this E3 seemed to contradict that point though, making the disappointment even more intense. Oh well, I'll be in once it drops to $400.

I had the exact same impression last night. Now I'm strategizing to figure out what I can sell/do to get that money together. I just like buying new toys.

so tempted to buy a xbonerx...
Ah, just noticed the vents there. Bummer. I have my One S hiding behind my TV vertically at the moment and quite like it, would hope for a similar setup for the X.

I am in the exact same boat. Been touting XBO since the start of this gen, pretty much entirely due to Halo and to a lesser extent franchises like Gears.
However I noticed that I dropped Gears 4 and Halo 5 insanely fast and Battlefront became my go-to while I used my PC for stuff like the Witcher.
Now Battlefront 2 is coming and I want to get it on console due to the likelihood of it dying on PC. I want to experience it the best way.. Also, Shadow of War.
I can snag a PS4 Pro right now for 344 euros including HZD. Oooor.. wait for the inevitable Battlefront 2 and Pro bundle (although I wonder if I can get it for sub 350). On the other hand I have a year worth of Gold and two controllers etc. But I am afraid of 343 shitting the bed yet again with Halo 6 and that MS is gonna lose significant market share, which in turn leads to devs perhaps bypassing meaningful upgrades solely for X.
Eehhh.. so difficult. Not even sure if I'd like the DS4 as opposed to the Xbox controller.

Crazy that it's so small. Looks great. I still think the price is dumb and going to fuck them, but will be getting one.
I hope they end up throwing in a free game with it by the time they get pre-orders up.

Question: Will the thread mention if there will be any "Trade in Specials" as we get closer to the release date? I admit that after yesterday, I am slightly taking the XBOX into consideration, although if it could be had at a lesser cost, that would be nice (not to mention there would be no need to hang onto the Xbox One I have if I'm planning to upgrade).

I'm going to be that annoying guy calling gamestop every day until the preorders are live. Also checking amazon every hour. I wish they would just come out and say "later this week" or "next month"...something so we are not having to worry that we will miss our chance to preorder because we want to do things outside of spam refreshing amazon.
Someone above mentioned they got a preorder in at a Gamestop in Italy so hopefully soon for the rest of us.

I've been refreshing the Amazon page all day. JUST TAKE MY MONEY ALREADY.

Amazon does trade-ins. I don't know if they'll do any special pricing though. Right now they give $115 for an og Xbox One. I might just do it since I already purchased an S last year. Either that or just see if any friends or family want it. Shrug.
Thanks for letting me know. Mind you that I would feel slightly better about trading in my system in person if I possibly could, but we'll see what happens later on if Best Buy, Gamestop, or other retailers also provide a trade in special. Probably will happen, but I'd still like to know.

I am guessing it is not available yet or is it already sold out? Haha
Amazon says it is not available...

Not yet up. Later this year is what they've been saying.

But I thought people said that it was some kind of technology that wouldn't be available till a couple of years? Maybe they were talking about tv's and not monitors, gotta see if I can find anything on that. My current monitor already supports freesync, but it's 1080p, I want a 4k hdr..Possibly

It's not going up anytime soon. Relax.
FCC has a page. But you would need to look for MS specifically. I found the approval for the Wifi chip last week and it seems it was approved then. So they probably only wait for the BT stuff. Not sure.

yes. S and X line packaging is sooooo much better than original XBox One
and it's smaller and cheaper, too
Nothing beats the unboxing experience of the Day One Edition. (Maybe the Sonos Play:5)

To clarify, I think someone checked in on things and found that you can use the same vertical stand that you can buy for the One S. I just wouldn't stand it up without that.

later, yes
they will gauge the preoders first
if they are great, we probably won't get a free game for launch
