Xbox One X Scorpio Edition orders may be delayed

5
Microsoft’s highly anticipated new console, the Xbox One X, is set to launch a week from today on November 7th. To generate excitement for the launch, Microsoft back in August announced a special “Scorpio Edition” launch day edition of the console, and sold out in record time. Microsoft and retailers continue to take orders for regular Xbox One X editions, but they’re no longer offering the specially branded Scorpio Editions.

However, some dedicated Xbox aficionados are starting to get pretty nervous about the status of their orders. Microsoft Xbox MVP and regular YouTube contributor @aka_Scratch has been getting the runaround from Amazon about the status of his order, and he’s worried:


Scratch has been communicating back and forth with Amazon support, getting some apparently conflicting info on when his order will be shipped. One customer rep told him something similar to what has been reported on Reddit, that “according the with the people from the fulfillment center the containers with the machines are supposed to arrive on Wednesday, in that moment we will start sending the confirmation emails they are going to be shipped begin on Friday for Tuesday deliveries, so probably the authorization will shown up on Wednesday,” but apparently another told by another rep that the first one “lied,” and offered him first $5, and then $10 for the inconvenience.

Another Xbox fan, this one having pre-ordered from Target, is also unhappy, having heard from the store that his shipment will be “arriving by November 14th.”

Another pre-order customer, this one from Best Buy, is worried, too. It seems, although it’s really still too early to tell whether there’s a problem or not, that at least retailers aren’t doing much to calm down these worried customers with some facts.

Well, one thing is certain, Xbox One X buyers are a passionate lot, and they’re anxiously awaiting their consoles. Here’s hoping that everyone is happy when it’s all said and done.

Hero Won't be getting this. Been thinking of getting a ps4


Or just save yourself the headache and buy / build a good PC.


I have built myself a $2K PC and am still getting the X1X.

There is no headache with a console, IMO. It's future proof in the fact that they last years without a new GPU/CPU coming out every year. Granted, a new version comes out every so often but an Xbox game made next year can still be played on the original Xbox One with no issues, whereas with PC the specs change for EVERY game made, and you have to spend a hell of a lot more than $500 for good quality 4K.


I can agree here. My PC is a B4LL3R, lol and i am hyped for this. It's good to see consoles improving, especially the x. My scorpio edition is coming tuesday

it all depends on what you want from a console, if you want the market leading most powerful console go for the one X, if you want a cheaper version thats still capable of 4k go for the ps4 pro.

that being said dont let the £exclusives"arguement sway you, theres plenty of time between now and next gen for MS to announce their lineup, like phil spencer said "this year was about hardware, we dont want to announce things more than a year away" he is waiting for E3 2018 for these.

if you can hold of you might as well.

besides exclusives are a small percentage of what people play, most people play the AAA 3rd party games like Assassins creed, Cod, Battlefield, Starwars etc and those are multi plat but play better on XB1x

ImDitton Well... I ordered mine from microsoft themselves, so if i get shafted by them Im gonna give some poor phone rep an earful.


I'd hate to work for MS those days lol. I've got my pre-order at a local EB Games so I'm not worried about shipping, as long as the store has their consoles on time I'm happy.
